Working on updating and creating a bunch of systems, including Overdrives: equippable abilities to give you a temporary boost of power or utility

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker

Short demonstration of the first world of Runner Overdrive: The Cascadia National Communications Hub, complete with elevators and walking guns lmao

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker

Beware the walking gun

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker

guys boss breaker is on the front page of gx.games again :>

Functional prototype of an inverse kinematics-based animation system for walking-type enemies that allows them to climb over obstacles

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker

Full playthrough of the entire warehouse/hub area in Runner Overdrive

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker #indiegames

Obligatory code snippet for what's shown in the gif

Implemented a new system that allows me to easily create menus and character interactions without having to deal with copy/pasting or parenting objects.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker

Finally landed on a game name and added the main menu.

Working on the hub world

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker

First pass on a shop system that features dedicated upgrade types, upsides & drawbacks, and allows me to easily extend it with other functionality in the future

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

UI updates and implemented being able to pick up the main objective to be delivered at a later point in the stage

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

ripped out boss breaker's dialogue system and completely overhauled it so that I can have text effects using a tag system instead of having to define the start and end indices manually

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

got really annoyed with unity, so im back to cool 2d stuff in gamemaker lol

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

full look around aiming with grabbed objects + a UI compass for finding the package and other players in your lobby

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

very cool and professional tutorial for dropzone

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Finally switched to first person and added the ability to peek under grabbed objects

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

replaced the UI notifications & countdown with an in-world alternative

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

minor inconvenience

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Working on props + environmental art for the first area of the game, which I've decided to be an abandoned research facility of some sort

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Finally started on actual game mechanics, and you can now throw whatever item you're holding!

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

yes! i have multiple virtual cameras that im transitioning between for different game states

First pass at in-world UI & menus, though I need actually to start on gameplay lol

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

I've been working on animations and had a visceral reaction seeing the player turn into a gremlin creature

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Been mainly working on cleaning up the backend to handle errors and more weird edge cases properly, but I finally added a lobby-wide ready indicator system so everyone can see who is/isn't ready

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Full multiplayer lobby test with new art and VFX

#gamedev #indiedev #blender #netcode #Unity #procgen

Been figuring out how to properly use Blender the past couple of days and I now have an actual model for the player’s lobby pod

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Got the two major halves of the prototype connected to where players can join a lobby through Steam, have everyone ready up, then have everyone transported into the procedurally generated (assembled) level, which they can explore together

#Unity #gamedev #indiedev #procgen #netcode

Figuring out chunk-based level generation for the new "FedEx in hell" game. Still a bunch of things I want to improve, like adding angled rooms and generating the level with the end in mind, but it's coming together 🙏🙏

#Unity #gamedev #indiedev #procgen

extremely scuffed right now, but i'm working on an in-world lobby system for a new project i've been experimenting with for the past week or so
