Strix Owl | Making Mech Game Code: Vulture

I've finished the entire texture for the first mech! Does this design remind you of anything else? #Mecha #Mech #IndieGame #IndieDev #Blender #GodotEngine #メカ #インディーゲーム

@clemmygames Thanks for hosting #screenshotsaturday! I added wall kick and improved a few things!

Devlog #02: wall kicks, slower movement for that heavier mech feel, smaller Hi-Dash VFX, and a first pass on the EN system. Which change stands out most in the clip? #Mecha #Mech #IndieGame #IndieDev #GodotEngine #ScreenShotSaturday #メカ #インディーゲーム

@grc_mcs bro make an entire Armored Core game in Minecraft 🤖

スキャン機能を作ってみたんですが、めっちゃいい！！カッコいい上に、探索にも戦闘にも大活躍です！（BGM有〼） なんでもっと早く作らなかったんだこれ…ｗ

A lot of people are saying the VFX looks more PS2 than PSX, but honestly I think this style actually suits the mech model pretty well lol. I'll probably keep it and just tweak it lightly from here.

Swapped the placeholder thruster VFX for something that actually belongs in a PS1-era mech game. Mech's movement's been tightened up too. Does the low-res particle look read right, or still too clean? #Mecha #Mech #IndieGame #IndieDev #GodotEngine #メカ #インディーゲーム

I feel like the "authentic" PSX-era approach to boost VFX is honestly kind of eye-straining and flickering the effect at 3-5 cycles per second. So I wanted to give it a slight "upgrade" and get rid of that flicker. One thing led to another, and by the time I finished, it had basically crept up to PS2-era fidelity lol

@StrixOwlDev this looks amazing, i love it but this is NOT PS1, if you're going to go out of your way to replace a vfx to be closer to an era, atleast properly research the era you're supposedly aiming for... this is more akin to ps2 fidelity

Turns out building low-resolution muzzle shot VFX is quite interesting too. Does this style of VFX remind you of any old-school games? #Mecha #Mech #IndieGame #IndieDev #GodotEngine #メカ #インディーゲーム

@BOLERO_19 It's gorgeous! Is this a kit bash or an original mech model?

かっけぇ…

@h00die146 Making my Mech game too and can't wait to play all those game in your post 🤖

No one's said it yet so imma say it, We're entering another age of Mecha games and oh boy am I fucking excited. To all the Devs who may or may not see this post, KEEP IT COMING!

Taking our first boost across the arena! I'm trying to nail that classic heavy boost feel - where momentum actually pushes back and you have to master it, rather than just gliding around. What do you guys think, are we getting close? #Mecha #Mech #IndieGame #IndieDev #ScreenshotSaturday #Blender #GodotEngine #メカ #インディーゲーム

@clemmygames Thanks for hosting #screenshotsaturday. Taking my first boost across the arena! I'm chasing that classic, heavy mecha feel where momentum actually pushes back. How does it look? #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #mecha

@JaggyRundi Should the day you express your Verdict be called Verdict Day? 🐸

@StrixOwlDev My Verdict:

I've finished the entire texture for the first mech! Does this design remind you of anything else? #Mecha #Mech #IndieGame #IndieDev #Blender #GodotEngine #メカ #インディーゲーム

@chronobauble That's called banded/stepped shading. Needed a custom material shader in Godot to pull it off. no built-in toon shading gets quite that look out of the box. Glad it's landing well!

@StrixOwlDev mannn what do you call those sort of "stepped shadows"? when they dont really blend smoothly between dark and light but instead go through stages of it.. those look so good

If interested, you guys can check this Mech's WIP animation on Youtube: youtu.be/2a1U-VkEsYU

@CChaBouzu very smooth animation <3

#indiegame #MetalFrontier #mecha #インディーゲーム Devlog 07/06 For gameplay purposes, the sheath is attached behind the shield-side arm to preserve visual balance. It's visible when drawing or sheathing. The animation is displayed horizontally in front of the character.

@SoulInPixels I use Krita to draw textures. As for the Pixel Art brush tool, I actually find it quite difficult to use. If you like it, it's available in Blender 5.

@Strix2p5 Wait. There is a pixel-art brush!? How is it called? Making this was painful, trying to configurate the brushes with 0 drop off and anti-aliasing. A brush like that will help me a ton

hand painting every panel line on this arm. no AI, no shortcuts, just a lot of undo history. #Blender #IndieDev #IndieGame #Mecha #Mech #メカ #インディーゲーム

Three attempts! My mech's legs fought physics and lost every time - until they didn't. building #CodeVulture solo in #GodotEngine. this is what "learning IK the hard way" actually looks like. #IndieDev #IndieGame #Mecha #Mech #メカ #インディーゲーム #screenshotsaturday
