ai comes out and people forget how to google things, the juniors just ask the most basic questions at work now compared to 2 yrs ago

YouTube video by Studio Variant DefenShip (previously Geosyncrosity) Alpha Footage

Showing off the new visuals with an outline shader + outlines on all text, as well as some new features such as enemy drops and better planet generation

working on my planet generation shader today

should look even better before the day is over!

#indiedev #gamedev #godot #shader #procgen #planet #space #roguelike

renamed my game, Geosyncrosity, to DefenShip. Felt like the first name was cool but too big brained for a smaller rogue like

#indiedev

Some new sounds for the UI as well as the guns

#space #game #roguelike #godot #roguelite #laser

Long run halted by a well placed set of shots from the enemy Plasma Fighter and Plasma Bursters

#indiegame #gamedev #godot #alpha #roguelike #bullethell #vampiresurvivors #space #rogelite #bulletheaven #dodge #game

better smoke VFX when enemies die

Lots of work on different things in my game this week

Really liking how some things are taking shape. Working specifically on death states for enemies at the moment (shown here)

WIP new enemy: suicide drones

#indiegame #godot #gamedev #roguelike #roguelite #space #survivor #bullethell

enemy and XP orb blips are now on the minimap :)

#indiegame #gamedev #space #shaders #minimap #godot #roguelike

camera rotation while moving

#indiedev #gamedev #godot #roguelike #action #bullethell

lots of changes to make flying flying around feel better
- space dust
- FOV changes when speeding up/down
- Tighter camera overall
- etc

#indiedev #gamedev #space #godot #roguelike #roguelite #bullethell #sv

the main menu is now a live-action scene

#indiedev #alpha #gamedev #godot #space #roguelike #bulletheaven #survivorlike

wave which clears all projectiles when you level up, to prevent getting hit after

#indiegame #shader #godot #space #spacegame #bulletheaven #survivor #survivorslike #gamedev #arcade #game

Added passive repair upgrade + lots of visual changes :)

#indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #space #bulletheaven #survivors #survivorslike #galaga #arcade #shader #shaders #godot

Stars! thousands rendered, almost no performance hit

#godot #shaders #space #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #survivorlike #survivor #galaga #arcade

Increased chromatic aberration now occurs as you take damage

also the waves now only begin when you kill all enemies in a current wave

work has been crazy, but i finally got some time+energy to work on #Geosyncrosity again

Some damage VFX for the player (gonna put on the enemies soon) and some small bits of UI

Need to decide on a final UI design before doing much though

#indiegame #gamedev #godot #space #roguelike #bulletheaven

Finished the model for the Mine Bombers. They keep their distance from the player unlike the Plasma Fighters + Plasma Bursters

Also the Plasma Fighters have a nice green color now :)

#indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #godot #space #alpha #shaders #randomgeneration #proceduralgeneration #dev #galaga

Testing out the Mine Bomber's mines, pretty happy with the results so far!

Need to make an enemy model + make the AI smarter next!

#indiegame #gamedev #godot #roguelike #space #shaders #bullethell #vampiresurvivors

good enough for now- still need to make the enemy which will utilize these

#indiegame #gamedev #godot #shader #explosion #roguelike #bullethell

did not take long to start making it look good lol

#explosion #gamedev #roguelike #godot #shader #shaders

deeper blacks for the 'smoke'

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

beginnings of an explosion effect im working on. This is step 1 for the visual effect (will follow up with updates as replies)

#indiegame #gamedev #shaders #roguelike

will post more on my games when work lightens up some (hopefully soon!..)

thats a neat idea, not hard to imagine it either! might give it a try even if i keep my current shader :)

3D geometry! I combine 2 noise textures and offset them on different axes to get a smooth all-around geometry with no seams. simple trick but very powerful

okokok i wont post another until i finish the actual scene
