Further improvement of the flight path and swarm readability. Basic missiles can now be evaded with a quick and easy perpendicular move. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ›ธ

I love game dev because it is here, in this place, that programming ideas can be seen, for example, the shape is a 3D object, to take position the particle looks for collisions in the center #UnrealEngine #gamedev

Getting into the details of the balancing. The mechanics are resembling a classical SHMUP more. A fragile player evading danger and repositioning to the best offensive position. ๐Ÿ›ธ

Neosnapaeth is my Void elementalist character for Draw Steel (by @hellomcdm.bsky.social ) here are some explorations of her from the sketchbook.

I like setting off on a design and working through a core concept until it feels like it has depth and life.

I promised to show you a way I came up with to make glowing text in the UI, a very simple Unreal Engine material imitation, because there is no glow in the widget. I used SpiralBlur - Texture node ;) #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev

Gameplay idea a force field as an emergency blow that demagnetizes robot stamina, but repels anything that might be dangerous. And then I realized that I had to do separate parts of the scene that would hide something and I had to knock them down by force #gamedev

Ice now shatters when hit by collision, chaining, causing more sweet destruction. Player safe!

Small game release today also has bug-fixes:
- Boss missile fix
- Option Mode reset fix
- L2B Weapon focus fix

Bowling in an #STG / #shmup ?!

I spent today bowling! I figure a good physics test is you can bowl the enemies and strike with a direct hit. ๐ŸŽณ

1st version - objects switch to dynamic when hit.
2nd - they stay dynamic the whole time, ball follows through more.

The explosion effects and the path finding got a performance focused overhaul. Everything looks and runs better. 250+ units - there could be more, but that is up to the gameplay balance. โš–๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฝ
