Salt_ // DROSS - Roguelike Horde FPS

I have been having the hardest time working on the game #indiedev #videogames I am not sure why, but everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, at least it feel that way. Here is a quick video showing (hopefully) a few of the things I have been working on. Even tho there is still a TONNE left to do, I do feel that slowly its getting done. It's been a tough past few months. #solodev I will try have an update to the demo available on Steam, once it's ready. and I cannot estimate when that will be. Hopefully soon. Thank you everyone for all the help and support, it makes it easier

I’ve been converting the entire game into dots ecs #gamedev #indiedev It’s been pretty brutal, but what is done is good, does more, and is a lot better all around. #gaming #videogames Oh, and it’s all running through ECS Netcode multiplayer.

Here's more progress from last update:

Heres a small peak at how everything is going: #indiedev #solodev #videogames

working on the combat arena in DROSS #indiedev #gamedev #videogames

of course in a rush I forgot to edit the text at the beginning...

I did some optimizing, mostly memory lookups. now DROSS is running far better on #SteamDeck its improved 30+ FPS #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

I cannot edit, this was supposed to be about instance batching. It looks like it shaking its butt at the camera

o

5000 enemy Dross Bugs running poorly on #SteamDeck Its running a lot better than it was, I will keep optimizing

@Arcadia_Crow Thank you

Im so happy to see this game updated

I have successfully completed converting the entire project to pure ECS and ECS Netcode. I pulled the demo off of #Steam roughly November 2024. That’s when I started all of this. And I’ve been working roughly ~16 hours on it daily since. It’s not done, but past the tough part

Just about got enough enemies in game. I've not been sharing much, but I've gotten a lot done. Stay tuned, be excited.

I have the best wife ❤️
