ZeeLee3D - Currently remaking Protoball! 💯Now Testing!

yeah so this happened last night while playing Protoball for Community Game Night.

In Protoball you can shoot a shield which explodes and pushes things away, you can knock the ball off course and self-pass, and... apparently you can do this.

Has to be the first time ever...

#indiegame #esports

how am I only just now finding this... wowowow what a cool game!

Hey friends, quick update! I promise we're going to get better at social media and post more!

Check out this concept art made for Protoball's "Orbital" map.

Worked with studio @auleek.bsky.social to bring the map to life in game.

Protoball is back! If you want to play join us anytime!

15 seconds from kick off to goal, a well executed play by us devs in a devs vs testers match. We put point zones back in, so there are 1, 2, and 3 point zones in the arena.

We added in-game text for certain events and it makes a huge difference. It's so much fun with the comic style pop-ups.

A diagram showing different corners with different equations. For the circular corner: x = cos(t * PI/2); y = sin(t * PI/2) For the parabolic corner: x = 1 - t * t; y = t * (2 - t)

Here are the equations for the different corners. If you're using this for realtime, you might appreciate the simplicity and lack of expensive trig functions:

The difference becomes a lot more apparent in isometric view. You can see here the circular corner looks "flattened", and has jarring "bends" at either end. In comparison, the parabolic corner looks a lot more natural. If you don't see it, I truly envy you, and you can disregard this post.

A picture showing two diagrams of rounded corners, one using a circular equation and the other using a parabolic equation.

Some of y'all are gonna think I've gone completely nuts, but I'm gonna talk about rounded corners and why circles suck.

Most devs take it for granted that rounded corners are circles. Spoiler: They don't have to be!

There is a much more aesthetically pleasing and cheaper alternative. 🧵👇

Overwhelmed and overworked! Sleep is rare :(

are there #indiegames on bsky? how does this place work?!

I couldn't sleep, working on the Material for electricity and lightning, as you know, there will be a lot of this in my Sci-Fi game and soon you will known about the plot and the place. I have already shown such an Niagara. But now it's a different material and looks better

15 seconds of our indie game, Protoball. In this clip we save a goal with a shield projectile, eliminate an opponent with a shield, then I clear the goal with another shield so my teammate can shoot their shot uncontested. The remake of Protoball is feeling so damn good right now. Come play!

You might not realize it but I'm like one of your top listeners on Spotify :D

Love your jams. If you're ever interested in letting some indie game devs use a track we'd love to make a trailer for Protoball with your beats!

our indie game for 15 seconds

Sorry Bsky, I don't think I can follow any more people...

I will try to remember to come here and post more though 😅

Amazing work, top notch quality, just incredible stuff Otter! Love to see your work, it's always so good.

nvm I found it, nice work dude!

Why can't I uncensor this? I can't find any settings in bsky that allow me to be an adult.

- Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1)

Awesome! Will do

I reached the end of the game The Beast Inside and I want to say: thanks Illusion Ray Studio for great product, it has a lot of gameplay events, diverse design, pace, horror... and I was surprised that the development team is so small.

These sewing lines in Marvelous Designer hit me with such nostalgia today when I connected them to an old screensaver on old Windows 95 or 98 PCs. I loved those old screensavers so much.

Throw some garlic and butter in there with a lot of salt & pepper! That's all you need!

initial first draft isn't too bad- hair made in houdini for use with unreal engine 5 characters

I'm down to help out when you need it! I've got Reallusion CC4 and iClone and they're amazing at making these things easier.

Quick facial rig test for use with Apple ARKit in Unreal Engine 5. Hair and materials are temporary, and so is everything else really. We're just getting started here.

Test room and magnetic chaos #gamedev #scifi #games #UnrealEngine

As far as I can recall we never worked with any facial cap from rokoko, just used iPhone LiveLink for that. It definitely helps to have something that auto-generates all those morphs for you. What tool that'd be would depend on your software, but with a rigged face you can export ARKit face morphs.

Awesome! We work with a client who uses Rokoko and loves it, we integrated a ton of it into UE5 and it's been fun.

We've been working on some things... Made with Unreal Engine 5, Blender, Substance and Zbrush.

We're just starting to get the ball rolling... so if you want to get in on the revival then join discord.gg/protoball and get involved!

#ScreenshotSaturday is a video today! Sound on.

On my last play through of FF9 I died in the winter scene and didn't feel like doing that walk again so I haven't gone further... time to pick it up! Freaking love FF9
