SCAVENGER ZERO (Wishlist now!)

Armored Core: Verdict Day appreciation post! It's my personal favourite of the franchise. I've added urban environments to my game recently and with it, I've also added a wall jumping ability inspired by AC:VD. Still WIP!

More updates on the dialogue writer! Added A settings menu that will toggle certain UI fields when writing your dialogue, this should make it possible to customize the tool to some extent without having to write any code!

My game is almost to 100 wishlists! For today's #motivationmonday, here's yet another track from the game's OST. I'm working on some cool hub world stuff as well, which I'll be showing off later this week.

WISHLIST THE GAME HERE!!!

Some improvements to the game's mech customization system! I've added icons and highlights for the part you are actively customizing. I also improved the user interface a bit. Still have a few bugs to iron out though.

Another track for SCAVENGER ZERO, composed by @hydr0gene.bsky.social. I'm going to try to post bits of the OST bi-weekly if I can. There is a LOT of it, so the uploads should last up until the game's launch!

Sorry for the silence, it's been a VERY rough year for me. I wanted to make a post thanking everyone for 50 wishlists. It's a small amount, but it means a lot.

Progress-wise, here's some OST composed by @hydr0gene.bsky.social

AI absolutely has it's uses, and that's a good one. I've been mainly peeved by generative AI and how morally grey it is.

And god, the Unity forums... I hate when you search something up and the top result is a post from like 7 years ago with no actual answers, or the answer being in a dead link.

And take anything that UNITY says with a grain of salt. They've been pushing AI hard as hell in recent times.

AI is completely soulless. There's no creative process, no expression or intent. Just a product. Unfortunately, that's how a lot of corpos view art.

I want to be proud of what *I* create, the process of making games is a major part of why I do it. Pumping out AI slop wouldn't be rewarding for me.

Laser sword WIP.

Yesterday I did some work on the snow planet. I also finally reworked quadrupedal mecha, making them a bit easier to control!

SCAVENGER ZERO on Steam EVERY SECOND MATTERS. Battle hordes of enemies, fight in a fully simulated galactic war, and uncover the truth in this unique mix of 2D mech combat and roguelike elements.

This week I was hit by layoffs at my gamedev job of 4 years. I haven't felt this depressed before, but I can't give up yet.

My solo project's Steam page is up now. Are you a mecha or roguelike fan? Wishlist & Follow.

A large open window looking out into space, with the player character "Viper" standing in front of it.

I've been working on a bunch of stuff recently. For today's #screenshotsaturday, I've decided to post a little preview of the "Viewing Bay" area in the game's hub world.

As for the hub world itself; in between missions the player can explore and talk to other pilots.

#gamedev #indiedev #mecha

I think as with most things in dev, the best way to get better at it is to practice. Follow some tutorials, learn what each node does, then try to make a few effects yourself.

For today's #screenshotsaturday , here's a new structure I've been working on. Hidden bunkers will spawn on the surface of planets. I'll be adding decorations and some unique enemies to these soon!

#mecha #indiedev #gamedev

In light of recent news, here's a monthly reminder that Unity as a company sucks. As an engine, though, it's the only one I've ever really felt comfortable using. I couldn't get the hang of Godot or Unreal. For that reason alone, I'm sticking with it for now. Gotta stay focused on SCAVENGER ZERO.

I saw this post and decided to play through it as well! I really liked some of the puzzles. I did manage to get outside somehow though lmao (I clipped through a wall)

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone! Recently I've been working on the UI and player customization. The game currently has 106 unique parts for the player to unlock and equip!

#indiedev #madewithunity #gamedev #mecha

My entire feed for a while was almost entirely super negative game dev takes and it sucked. imo I think making a game fun first and foremost is the most important thing to do. Make something that you enjoy, worry about polish and marketing later.

Some fast-paced and chaotic mech combat for #screenshotsaturday. A single automaton enemy isn't a major threat, but dealing with a lot can get out of hand fast. 🤖

Quick post for #FollowFriday! Calling upon anyone who is a fan of Armored Core, Gundam, or mecha in general! 🤖

I'm making an action game where you work as a mercenary, do jobs for a variety of factions, and make choices that shape the outcome of the universe.

#indiedev #mecha

Sidenote: I'm going to try and show some actual combat for Screenshot Saturday. The only combat footage online right now is a super outdated video on my channel...

For now, though, gotta get to work. 👍

Now that the sound is done, I'm putting a bit more love into the explosion effects. 💥

Not perfect yet, but it's getting there!

YouTube video by Keenan_Dev SCAVENGER ZERO - Homing Missiles

Compression was not kind to the rain and lighting effects...

Homing missiles, now with sound! They target nearby enemies and hit a wide variety of them for more AOE damage, rather than all missiles going for a single target.
