Andreas - Match Tree, Wishlist on Steam 🐑

This is recorded on the Quest3 untethered from the packaged APK. www.youtube.com/shorts/brwp2...

This recording is on desktop in linked mode. But we build and APK that runs on Quest3 with over 60fps. Quest2 is slightly below. But our bottleneck is not the physics but more the rendering stuff. We optimized a bit bit there is definitely room for more.

Update of our little octopus who we named Rori.
This became insanely fun! And thanks to the physics control in UE5 we got him on a level that's beyond the initial idea.
Your brain seems to complete the gaps of missing haptic. I could nearly feel him.

This is beyond what I expected and it feels like a little support animal. I definitely feel some relaxation when playing with him.

Instead the animation reflecting the creatures velocity the animation makes a difference if he moves forward. This is insane and unexpected.

Now we implemented some hand gestures. The octopus can stop, move to you, roam around and.... turn away when you are rude.

And by setting the characters root as world space parent and moving him around only by forces, he became much more alive than expected.

I had real trouble make the octopus move until I figured out he ACTUALLY moves through his animation.

Happy little accidents. Barry and me met at an OceanX Hackathon and we kept tinkering with immersive ideas. Both of us wanted to explore a VR experience mainly for our own fun and to learn.

I wanted to see how far we can push character physics on the Meta Quest in #UE5 using an octopus.

That would be awesome!

Crazy. I’m tinkering with a small screen for VR featuring octopods. And while trying to push the interactivity they became fully physicalized using Physics Control in @unrealengine.bsky.social
Now I exchanged their movement also with forces and the result feels very believable.

Mystery as remains of seven-arm deep-sea octopus wash up on beach Arms from the rarely-seen species were discovered at an Aberdeenshire national nature reserve.

Only release games, right? Not Demos or do you have a category for those maybe?

Beginning some fun experiments.

Parkitect - Happy Anniversary - 7 years of Parkitect - Steam News Today marks a very special day for us—it’s been seven years since Parkitect was released! So much has happened since we first started developing the game. Join us on a trip down memory lane as we cele...

Today is the 7th anniversary of Parkitects release 🥳

We've put together a retrospective blog post about the games development:

Me in the morning, realizing we went out of coffee beans.

POV: Ein Vibe Coder fragt dich warum sein 3rd Person code von chatGPT in Godot nicht funktioniert und ob wer helfen kann.

Ich hoffe ihr müsst Rätsel lösen um ein Getränk zu bekommen. Denk dran, es ist der grüne Drink um weiter spucken zu können!

This is pretty cool if you look for a publisher, investor or any other help releasing your game:

Wir arbeiten gerade daran die Demo zu aktualisieren und testweise mal in 12 Sprachen zu übersetzen. Ich hoffe auf ein Update vor Weihnachten. Das Spiel wird wohl erst nächstes Jahr. Wir arbeiten da ja leider nicht Vollzeit dran, da die finanziellen Aussichten damit das nicht rechtfertigen würden.

Organic growing stuff is so hard. I did only some tiny experiments with some realtime dynamic meshes of procedural growing stylized Bonsai and even as it was fun, it was hard to get right.

Viel Spaß. Falls du in Richard Gobbett rennst, grüß ihn ganz lieb.

Ich mach regelmäßig Werbung für gute Tools wie @codecks.bsky.social im Stream. Und das sogar multilingual!

Dieser Post ist aber eigentlich nur dafür da, dass ihr das Spiel wishlisted.

Und noch nen call for action: Welche tools findet ihr gut?
#marketingkannich

Or boxes in general…

I’m using a midi board for balancing or tweaking during development. Especially values you want to test in realtime not starting and stoping the project. Like jumps or any other character movement related values. It increases the productivity a lot!

Escape Rooms HATE the Melone Twins.

It's weird to see your game in a language you do not speak. I decided to translate Match Tree into 10 languages. Store and ingame. There are still challenges in regards of fonts and such. But @godotengine.org makes it quite easy so far! I might even try Arabic!

It’s a wrap 😔
