Bona Fyrvall - Unity Tinkerer & Backend developer

It's been a while since I did anything, but I'm back to tool making.
How about Particle effect in the Preview window in Unity?

New idea! Shift moves the secondary spells to the primary keys! Easier to cast
#GameDev #IndieGameDev

Is this really a critical bug?
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Quick experiment with auto spawning enemies, closer to Diablo than the premade levels we've made
#gamdev #indiegamedev

Debug mode + Leap = Whole new game!
#gamedev #indiegamedev #happylittleaccidents

Spawn the fire or be the Fire? Or should we keep both?
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Also made it explode on death... you know, just because.. :)

Take two of Tower enemies!
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Trying a new stationary enemy!
Not too fun so far, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
#gamedev #indiegamedev

"If the Fire are units, can they have AI behaviour?"
Turns out that yes, the actually can! So many possibilities!
#gamedev #indiegamedev

A colleague saw the potential of the modularity!
"Why can't you change actor mid-game?"
Well, now you can!
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Experiments with a new level 02.
The theme is summons and long semi-wide paths.
#gamedev #indiegamedev

At it again with new VFX. This time I'm not pleased as this projectile looks like... well tbh... shit...
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Ok, screw a new level. That's tomorrow's work. Lets make a fun fire ability instead!
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Some playtesting on Level02. I realize I have no idea what direction to take this level :(. There's not theme or idea so far.
#gamedev #indiegamedev

I think PC and consoles are the viable options. I have no idea how the input schema could be converted to mobile :P

Let there be explosions!
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Even more VFX work.
Now more fire and smoke! (Did I overdo it with the smoke?)
#Gamedev #indiegamedev

Some new VFX work so show the fireballs AOE radius.
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Second that. I love the World Editor from Warcraft 3 so much that I tried to recreate something similar for Unity to help us make levels faster.

After more than a year, this is still my favorite VFX / Ability combo
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Took a hint from Diablo. In order to make the game more engaging, make the "normal" enemies less aggressive.

I hate networking....
On the client, you can throw a ability, and also cast it at the same time for some reason....
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Had an idea to limit abilities to certain buttons. The UI shows it correctly, but the actual mechanics implementation... does not :(

#gamedev #indiegamedev

Quick gameplay promo! Most abilities has gotten there wind up times reduced and it so much more responsive!
#gamedev #indiegamedev

Reworked basically all enemies AI. Now they're not all countered the same way!
#gamedev #Indiegamedev

Better Lurker enemies.
Still a bit too "slippery" and have a tendency to teleport TO the player when trying to get away. Still an massive improvement!
#gamedev #Indiegamedev

Playing with a new enemy type.
Simplest enemy by far! They rush you and they hit you. That's it!
#gamedev #indiegamedev

So the plan was to have an enemy that flees and always attacks ranged....
This, however, is not it :P
