room gen devlog #1 pretty cool #unity #indiegame #gamedev #bukkisplayschool

@Herolpz slow catto 😔

@charmicoz Damn I was late

✨A person has FOUND the secret code on my Save Santa Part 2 gmod map and deciphered the meaning! It was hidden as a QR code that formed from room walls layout. The secret meaning was "Bukki" :p 🎉 They win three counter-strike 2 skins! 🎉 (they won previous quests as well!)

@Herolpz ye

@charmicoz Quality of life feature

i guess petting will have to be a feature in my game now #unity #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

@Herolpz ah yes, my favorite game: "Unrelated"

@charmicoz Unrelated OST

a devlog after many months weeping cube enemy #unity #indiedev #indiegame #mascot #horror gonna focus on making fun monster mechanics first, then stitch the lore to it all somehow

Does anyone else experience a constant conflict of the narrative, setting and game mechanics when making their game? My point & click mechanic doesn't really make sense narrative wise, but mechanically I feel like it's unique for a horror game... Quite the headache.

Things have been very difficult. I'm quite lost and unable to have any clear ideas related to the game. I'm considering making a much smaller game but I'm not sure if that's reasonable either. I'm in a very tough spot due to hundreds of factors.

I was wondering how much the scale factor value matters (in the unity model import settings) and turns out it affects the convex mesh collider quite a lot :v #unity3d #modeling #indiedev #gamedev

Hello everyone 👋 Im not certain, but theres a risk that my country (Russia) will isolate itself from the internet. This means that one day I may completely disappear, which is unfortunate. VPNs wont help. But I will keep working towards my goals until the end. Thank you all.

This opens up obsessive questions like: - Which way should the doors be placed in each room? - If it opens outward, how will the player collide with the door? - If it only opens inward, what's the point of modelling the other side? 😵‍💫 i guess it should be random but still ughh

I have a bad habit of worrying about silly details Such as this door having two different sides for push and pull... 🙃 Even the hinges are placed "realistically" 😔 #gamedev #indiegame #blender3d #modeling

saddest looking plant i should probably make it less sad #gamedev #indiegame #blender3d #modeling

@catarama_dev im happy u agree c:

@charmicoz Yeah!

I think wacky door is good #gamedev #blender3d #indiegame #modeling

normal door or wacky door? 🤔 #gamedev #blender3d #modeling #indiegame

My donation service finally answered me about the withdrawal freeze they set on my account for 90 days (way back in August 2024). This is their answer, and while it's hopeful, there is no explicit "we unfroze your account" so I'm not sure.

@noinodev @Phantom_TheGame I feel like this is obvious but I guess not for everyone. At the same time, if you need to ship a product fast, you won't have time to study things in-depth regardless.

@charmicoz @Phantom_TheGame software design, graphics programming, resource management, probably everything you can think of. learning whats underneath abstractions makes you better at using the abstractions too.

This is a non-discussion. Use what you like. What's important is that you have fun, you learn stuff, and that you actually get the game ready for release. There are successful games on both sides, what matters is what comes out of it, not what you used.

@noinodev @Phantom_TheGame What does this mean? Better and faster in what?

@Phantom_TheGame working directly with a graphics api will make you better and faster with or without an engine, but most engine-only users only use the abstractions, which will inhibit that. knowing more > knowing less, especially if its a career objective.

@SebAaltonen Soo, you mean there could be empty slots inside the shape, is that it?

This reminds me of some impostor rendering tech. Z-buffers are stored from all axis-aligned directions. Due to occlusion, you can't reconstruct a perfect 3d shape from depth images unless the shape is convex from those directions. The below question can't be answered.
