Found a weird feature of the billboarding in #Crocotile3D
And of course I used it for a moth swarm.

You start to notice them after leaving the safety of your campfire. Shadows drifting aimlessly in darkness. They circle around you like vultures then your light begins to fade. They dissolve in your ring of light but what happens when it goes out? #indiedev #gamedev #survival #goth #light #shadow

Update for Crocotile 3d, version 2.6.6
Fixes a bug with extruding, and now allows extruding while rotating with gizmo. Also -scaled skinned objects export more accurately. Also Slovenian localization has been added- thanks Andrew Poženel! 🐊

At a time like this, those who are powerless to change the world at large should take a breather and absorb themselves into beautiful art.
For me, it's the new #gorillaz album titled "The Mountain". Blends Indian tradition with old-school gorillaz style.

You play as the ghost of a royal family's murdered daughter 100 years after everybody but her father's cult has been slaughtered. Her only goal is revenge, but the Vicar (her father) is in an impenetrable immortality coffin, and needs to be summoned by the cult to be defeated.

Yup, and I can't recommend it strongly enough it's the best tool I've ever used to upgrade my art.

Yup a Godot game, which I guess is turning into some type of souls-like with early 3D Zelda influence.

This is Lower Pergamum, and it will be included in the patreon demo in a few months. I'm really happy with this one because I captured accurately the feeling of a dream I had.

Shout out to my awesome patreon pals!

I am currently playing ds1, 2, 3, Elden Ring, NightReign, Sekiro, and Bloodborne on a weekly basis because I am a maniac (mostly studying for my own game). And I can confirm this is the best one. It's beyond anything I remembered from when it first came out.

Saw spear+6, high vit and skill. I actually managed to kill it now! The head indeed does a ton of damage and you just gotta know when to strike.

I've reached the Amygdala boss in Bloodborne and it's so clever. Ofc the name is based on the "fear" part of your brain, so it has a scary jump attack that only hits if you literally flinch or move at all.
Still struggling to beat it though!

I recently went down the BoatMurdered rabbit hole and I will definitely be getting this game, at long last.

The skinny owl altar is gonna have a candle you can light to save the game. This game won't have auto save, because retro.

The graveyard path and arches are there to frame a dark mausoleum, eventually. It will have a separate camera angle when you get closer.

Barely got started on a new area yesterday in #Crocotile3D I'm warming up the colors for the seaside area Lower Pergamum.

Warioware DIY got me started with game design for real. What an incredible game.

Absolutely gonna fix this, I am thinking hit flash+small freeze or shake before the actual knock back and sound fx. Maybe even an additional graphic for impacts. I need my combat to be great not just good!

Thank you! It feels pretty smooth now, and the targeting is done via scroll wheel on the mouse. Can't wait to add more of the awesome move set by @detectonomicon.bsky.social

Testing out the new target system, what do you think? The game is supposed to be somewhat methodical/slow paced so snails are a good example enemy.

It's extra tricky because of the mostly side-on camera angle, my idea I've come up with is a slight auto-aim when the enemy is in a certain range. Or, locking on with an indicator. Implementing this is becoming confusing though.

This was awesome to wake up to, thank you lol! I think I'm due for another Alice playthrough today.
