Emma | Game Dev

We’re still very much at the beginning of this journey, which is also why I chose to focus on that part in the game. 😄

Wishing you all a great start to the week, looking forward to sharing more about the development soon! 🌞

Spring has begun & so has the growing season.🌱

Outside of game dev, I’m into self-sustainability. While the game does not have farming, the game is flavored with inspiration & experiences from my life. Especially from our first winter, which came with its own set of challenges. ❄️

VR Winter Cabin Survival

In the end, sometimes we are our worst enemy. :D

True. 😁
I guess I should have started by asking, what is it that makes it difficult?
If it's the whole flow, maybe try sketching some ideas then flipbook them to test how they work. Though if I remember right you might already have a trailer, so maybe testing it with few people to see how they feel.

Have you watched any of Derek Lieu's videos on game trailers? I feel like he has had pretty good videos on making game trailers for different games. :)

Happy Easter Everyone! 🐤

Remember not to throw hard-boiled Easter eggs close to doors; they might break weirdly. 😂 (I'm honestly not fully sure what happened.)

Have been having migraines this week, so not much to show, worked on the snow & weather system.

1: Unity, but also looking at Godot, which I could see myself using in the future. :)

Hello everyone! 🥣

A small update on what I've been working on.
These are just a couple of systems I worked with. On top of these, I also worked on the weather system & how the electricity should work.

Looking forward to sharing about those next. 😊

Depending also on what motivates you. I know for me, I like exploring and learning new things, so I might also take a harder task only to try to solve or learn from it. Even if it would not be something I should not directly now work on, but mainly keep it fun. :D

Adding to this is cutting tasks into smaller bits.
Sometimes, it's hard to see progress if you work on bigger things.

Things that help me stay motivated:
•Thinking about the end goal I have for making the game, like,
→ What will it give me.
→ The experience I would like to give others.
• Taking breaks & getting inspired by things around me.
• Be able to talk about the game.

I heard it's #NationalPetDay and it made me think of this clip when I was playing Little Kitty, Big City. Our adopted son Oliver was very interested in the player character. 😺

Tomorrow, I will share more about what I have been working on. I noticed the last #gamedev update was a month ago. 🙈

Another Demo trailer. Slightly longer one. I had so many game breaking bugs and during #SteamFest start. But then again, a lot bigger studios than mine have game breaking bugs

Hello Everyone! 🌞❄️

I have continued working on cooking mechanics and began working on user interface elements to have an optional way of viewing player stats.

I have also worked on other parts of the game but I will share more about them later. :)

Loved the Far games and looking forward to herd some cute animals. ❤️

I'm currently working on my free time on a small VR game. The goal of the game is to survive until spring in a small cabin in middle of nowhere. ❄️🏠

Hello Everyone! 🌞

What I have been up to:
- I got haptic feedback working on the latest version of Unity.
- I started working on hunger and food mechanics.

Can't easily show off haptic feedback so here is a silly video of the ax having a life of its own.

#gamedev #VR #screenshotsaturday #Unity3D

Starbound and Journey are definitely a favorite!

Was afterwards thinking about Stay, Ghost of Tsushima and Souls games having a pretty amazing soundtrack.

I'm pretty hyped about the upcoming game Clair Obscur. Based on the trailer and early gameplay, I'm expecting an amazing soundtrack. 🤩

Also... Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout games, Cyberpunk, Firewatch, Dishonored, Okami and the Last of Us.. too many good games with great music.. 😺

I can't go with just one game but going to mention a few: The Legend of Dragoon, Grandia, Ori games, Zelda games, FFX, Hollow Knight, Tales of / Star Ocean and Gris.

Pictures from my little break, just 30 minutes before it got dark. ❄️

Taking walks in the forest always inspires me and helps me appreciate the nature around me.

I’m excited to bring some of these experiences into the VR game, so you can enjoy them too. 😊

Hello everyone! 😊

Felt like sharing some of last year’s game projects in 30 seconds:

- Game Jams
- Helping other devs
- Horror Visual Novel
- VR

Last year was tough, but I'm excited for this one.

Main goals for this year:
Finish the visual novel & work on the VR game.

#gamedev #indiegamedev

Happy New Year! 🥂

Continued working on the VR game, also noticed this is not the latest video but I added:

- Burning wood (Important for sauna)
- Temperature system system
- Hunger & thirst can be monitored
- Opening doors
- 3D models

Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄
Hyvää Joulua!
God Jul!

The holidays are a perfect time to explore different games.
This year, I’ve enjoyed a lot of good games like Dredge by @blacksaltgames.com , Animal Well, Dave the Diver, & a bit weird but interesting Deadly Premonition.

What games inspired you this year? 😊

Hello everyone!

The holiday is almost here so I decided to play around with VR for the first time. As it's the weekend, I had to cut some wood for the sauna. 🔥

The Health Bar test was made with Unity Shader Graph.

- I used 2 images that I combined
- Health fill was made by combining an angle & linear gradient
- When health is low color & expression changes
- Added it to Canvas & scripted the function.

WIP: UI Shader made with Unity's Shader Graph.

I created 3 different button states: ready, charging, and an effect for when it's ready. After that, I made a material that's connected to a UI image with an event trigger that gets activated inside the code.
