Cloud-Yo!

❇️ Wanted the gameplay area to feel grounded —without cluttering the terrain or leaving it floating in space 🚫🪐.
This elevation-line shader keeps focus, fits the planet-exploration vibe, and costs just 2 draw calls 🔥

Just added vegetation masking to my procedural level construction! 🧱➡️🌱
Terrain details are now added via a masked noise map.
Screenshot: Left = mask, Right = level with buildings + masked details. I now Have a deterministic way to handle future biomes!

Unity: Dynamic Asset Binding with Custom Attributes — Part 3, Rise of the Machines By now, you’ve probably read the previous two articles and are ready to take what you’ve learned and build something amazing on your own…

🎬 Part 3: The Last Stand!

We finally take our dynamic asset system to the next level by adding pooled VFX tied to action types using custom attributes. Sounds fancy? It is — but also practical.💥

Unity: Dynamic Asset Binding with Custom Attributes — Part 2, Electric Boogaloo In Part 1, we built the foundation of a flexible asset binding system using custom C# attributes. We created a base attribute class…

Unity: Dynamic Asset Binding with Custom Attributes — Part 1 That’s a mouthful, so let me explain:

Part 1 of my series on creating a dynamic asset binding system in Unity using custom C# attributes! 🎮✨

Making solid progress on my procedural level system — the player deployment zones are working!

Still to tackle:
🌿 Vegetation
📦 Loot containers
☠️ Enemy spawns
🎨 Terrain splat maps (IDK how...YET 😅 )

#gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #proceduralgeneration

Tried WFC to generate wall objects in my level, but it didn’t give me the control I wanted. Switched to flood fill for plot detection + prefab placement by footprint. Much better! Map gen’s nearly there 👀🧱🎮

#GameDev #IndieDev #ProcGen #Unity3D

🧠 Step 4 of my level gen system working smarter — now it reports only cells that are actually usable after WFC placement 👌
No more bloating memory with unused cells.
Feels good when a system respects its own constraints 😅

✨First pass at a ground material for my project.
Built in an older version of Substance Designer (it’s what I’ve got — but it still works well).✨

The hex formations? That’s Ferrossalt- a dense metallic stone. Part mineral, part mystery.😱

Step 3 of my map generation pipeline is live!

🧱 Started with a clean grid
🪓 Used BSP + some custom logic to space out plots
🌊 Now running Wave Function Collapse to generate structures on top!
🏗️Every map will be different!
#gamedev #proceduralgeneration #indiedev #tacticsgame #wavefunctioncollapse

Making progress! 😄
🟩 Generate a grid
🏗️ Use BSP to create rooms
❌ Filter out ones that are too small
📏 Snap sizes to a defined range
📦 Scatter rooms across the grid
🏙️ Finally generate data for my WFC system!
🌱 Seed controlled!

#GodotEngine 4.4 is finally here! 🚀

Look forward to plenty of quality of life improvements hidden within this release. Faster load speeds, reduced stutter, streamlined processes, and more!

godotengine.org/releases/4.4/

🔹 Just added a dynamic minimap! 🏗️🚀
🔹 Updates in real time as new buildings & bridges are placed!
🔹 Follows rotation & placement of the view! 🗺️✨

No more getting lost—unless you want to. 😉

What do you think? Any UI tweaks you'd suggest? 👀

#GameDev #IndieDev #Godot #Minimap

🙌Thanks Shobo! It's no Lamp Lighter's League but if you like TBS games it may be for you ...someday 😅

Chaos vs. Control: Random is fun, but deterministic is the backbone of serious systems. 🎮
#godotEngine #indieDev #IndieGameDev #gameDevCommunity #TurnBasedGames #strategyGames #csharp

Mine is a similar setup, I have a Root node, then a node that controls translation, a child node that controls rotation and the camera itself handles the "zoom" by moving it along its local z axis. You may want to consider defaulting to certain values when you focus onto a selection.

Today I got started with my dynamic catwalk system. Once the map is generated I want to generate connecting catwalks between some of the buildings. This is a good start but I have to refine the process to get slightly better results 🙂
#godot #indieDev #gameDev #soloDev #turnBasedTactics

Camera Controls ✅ I implemented Move, Rotate and Zoom. I like this rotation better than my original solution where the camera was fixed at a certain height and it only rotated around the view in 45 degree increments.

😲 I didn't draw the icons myself :) but thanks. I think yours is looking great too!

Twinsies! 😁

It's a little premature, but I'm learning new things in a weird order. So I put together some basic UI for my game. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it...
#godot #indieDev #gameDev #turnBasedTactics #UI

Soooo...I guess Im joining the #Godot family...Im rebuilding my tactics game from scratch. Here is the current state of my map development using Wave Function Collapse -ish. Each grid is a separate instance so I can create buildings within a map.

#indieDev #TurnBasedTactics #gamedev

So, back in the day I would do daily #greasepencil sketches, I got into a groove and really loved the process, I was trying to grow my audience on Instagram but I guess that didnt work out :\ \I still really like some of them, this one is probably one of my favorites. #blender3D #2Dart

Here's a 3d character I made based on a pixel art concept I had for an old game idea. They call him Crim Grim... #blender3d #indiedev

I also do art sometimes. Less and less these days but I still enjoy the process.

The spooky season is over, but here's a pixelly vampire all the same.

I do art for fun now and I make games with Unity. If anyone knows of a studio that is hiring let me know :)
