Trying Errors

Ever heard of a softlock? #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Navigation in our upcoming game can be a bit weird. #indiegame #puzzlegame #horrorgame

I swear there's more than 1 room to our game. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Our game is (definitely not) broken. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

You should not be here. #indiegame #puzzlegame #horrorgame

This lock took way longer to code than we'd like to admit. #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame

@_GopalSir Yup.

@TryingErrors It usually spirals out into more and more implementation with no end in sight.

Pro tip: when making a video game, avoid implementing physics at all costs. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

@MVH1646777 Pretty much but it's pretty expensive to compute and, as you see, fairly unstable. We'll probably remake it so that it behaves like a rope under the hood. This being a prototype though, as long as it (kinda) works, we focus on making something that people can play asap.

@TryingErrors Lol. Did you attach each chain-link together with some kinda spring?

@benrayfield Haven't heard of this before, I'll give it a look. Thanks!

@TryingErrors did u try a gauss solver

@syedmohib3 So many perfectionists are discouraged by game dev: everyone needs to learn to just embrace jank and sub-optimal solutions, especially in the prototyping phase where most features will be scraped and/or refactored.

@TryingErrors Wanna develop a game: > want to optimize > lets create custom rendering engine (more control can make it faster) > Lets implement procedural animation more control (!much faster) > Lets create my own physics engine > Game dev is difficult > switch to web dev

@imnotjahan Thank you very much!

@TryingErrors yeah, there's already enough to do without dealing with all that. Best of luck with your work though!

To-Do: Finish making the prototype so players can test our game. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

@ZenfoxSSB Wait until you see the 3D characters in first-person 👀 And thank you!

@TryingErrors Some iterations are scary as hell 😱! You chose the best one for your studio name, that's sure! 🫡✨️

Here's the rest of the logo ideas! The logo choice was far from being an easy decision 😅 Illustration by Maude Desrochers #indiedev #conceptart #horrorgame

The first half of the ideas we had before choosing our current logo design. Hats off to Maude Desrochers for the creativity!

Here's the full environment concept art that we teased in our previous posts! Any thoughts about the visual style we're going for? Illustration by Maude Desrochers #indiegame #horrorgame #puzzlegame
