Alright, Maya indie hitting $550 a year has made me try out Blender again. Anyone have good recommendations for Maya to Blender tutes, any plug ins to make the UV editor not suck etc.

What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking?
Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think?

Last year I painted this piece of key art even though at that point the game was mostly just some ideas in a document. It's cool to get those ideas into something presentable you can show to people early.

I've played a couple of hours now, I think it's pretty fun. Scratches the halo itch.

Not a fan of the monetisation but what can ya do about it?

This is what we've been hammering away on. Appreciate some shares if you have them spare!

Introducing the main character of our game!
He's just a little fella who is excited to go out into the big world on his own for the first time and I'm sure nothing will go wrong and traumatise his small developing brain.

@closecallsports.bsky.social Any chance of a break down of the out at home in the bottom of the 10th for the Pirates Brewers game?

Looked like the run was called off the path, but have seen similar plays be called safe in the past.

Anyone having issues rendering out objects in Sequencer in UE5.5? Transforms seem broken for me. I'll key in locations and the objects won't move in the render, they move correctly in the preview. Tried SK and SM and both act the same.

Really good thread of lots of cool indie games.

Really highlights how brutal the market is. Making a good or great game isn't enough to succeed.

GOG is good for keeping track of what you own. You can link up your accounts and it'll show you what and where a game you own is.

Asterix on Netflix is a real treat.
It has some really nice use of colour and some really creative art direction.

Recommended it to everyone.

Anyone else getting a bunch of engine/gpu crashes in UE5 after the latest Nvidia driver?

WIP of a new environment I've been building up for Chunk.

Still lots to build and refine but always keen on feedback.

Here's what the first area in our game looks like! Hope you liked games from the late 90s, because that's what you're getting.
What do you think this game is about?๐Ÿค”

Monster Boy is on special on Xbox at the moment. It's a really great game that more people need to play.

Solid metroidvania, really great art, great soundtrack. Just a damn fine game.

I got 3 levels deep and gave up.

Move with left stick that has the fire button on top.

Use the track ball to look around.

Was the true hard mode

I think adding sprint has made the world feel smaller but it's better for it.

It's also interesting you can fast travel to an area before discovering it. I think that can hurt exploration a little.
