My first steam game ISLANDS & TRAINS has just released!! What began as a tiny hobby project has grown into something that I'm so thankful, excited and proud of.

It would mean the world if you could give this a repost and try the game on Steam 💌🌻 s.team/a/1957760

Haha, maybe not specifically that robert xD

While working on vision and fog of war today I stumbled upon this very helpful resource for Unity shader stuff www.cyanilux.com/faq/

Thank you @cyanilux.bsky.social for the help!

A cute cartoon snail with a blue shell and yellow body smiles as it leaves a rainbow trail behind it. Above the snail, a motivational message reads: "No matter how long it takes you, progress is still progress and I am so proud of you." A small yellow star appears beside the text. The background is a soft purple color. The image is signed “SelfLoveRainbow” at the bottom.

So proud of yooooou!

Starting a new project where I've started working on the map gen. Anyone has tips on a favorite technique for creating a somehwat open-ended map?

Yes, at my previous job we used Miro from just collecting ideas to even planning sprints and milestones

Last weekend I did a jam in Unreal with a friend and I was surprised how powerful the blueprint + behaviour tree systems are, perhaps it is as good as they say?

The setup wasn't fun though it took like 6 hours to fix Visual Studio and stuff so I could compile code...

Wow that's amazing!

The fourth project I'd like to show is one inspired by NodeBuster which got me thinking of a an idea where there's a tower that is powered by the sun and the player gets to build some turrets/buildings on that tower to defend themselves while drawing power from the sun.

The third project is a mix of fruit ninja and math for kids. It was aimed to be a super tiny project that I could "finish" in a pretty short time frame. Its playable here galensoft.itch.io/numberslice

The next one is made in Godot and was in cooperation with a ex colleague. It's some kind of rougelike zombie car shoot em' up in an apocalyptic world with different missions to go on and help a colony to survive. The clip here shows one of the missions where the player has to fetch some food.

We have made a Steam page for it and everything, we've just been busy the last months with moving but soon it'll be up on Steam!

But after a while of trying those out I got a bit tired of having to do everything by hand, which is kind of the point haha. Eventually it turned into a Unity project anyways. I did make my own platforming controller which was fun, at least until we added slopes 😅

The first one is me and my partner's game about his hamster finding some gold and going on a vacation in Bahamas. When we started this one I wanted to make it with something like RayLib or MonoGame because I absolutely didn't want to spend more time in Unity than I was already doing at work...

Today I will make a few threads showing off some of the things I've been working on the last few months. It's been a mix of learning, making project with my boyfriend as well as making prototypes, stay tuned!

My week will be
- continue organize my new home
- work on my prototype
- have interviews

What about yours?

Has anyone worked with networking in Godot? Any tips or links about it? I'm going to start learning it today

Nice, thanks for sharing!

What is 1 thing I should make sure to do when marketing my game?

Implementing pause/resume on a timeline to let players read the text in cutscene was interesting. Using PlayableDirector's Pause and Resume WAS NOT THE WAY TO GO 🫠The better way is
pd.playableGraph.GetRootPlayable(0).SetSpeed(0);

Why are you like this Unity?

I just added a really handy dev tool to our game!

Admin Mode: instantly complete levels, buy towers & upgrades without the usually required resources, and open doors without the usually necessary progression.

this will (among other things) allows us to easily create savegames!

I've been working in Godot for a few months now, doing a few different projects. One of them feels somewhat done, its a very tiny game mostly intended for the younger ones.

If you try it, please give some feedback!

How do you indie devs decide on projects to work on? What's the top 3 factors for you to dedicate your year (or how long it takes) on a certain concept?
