@ViceGripGames Damn, that is a beautiful park.

Sometimes it's nice to slow down and enjoy a peaceful walk through the park at night 🌙✨ #IndieGame #pixelart #GameDev

@witchfell Thanks! you too.

@francium_221 No worries man, that's what community is for right? We put our stuff out there and just throw ideas at each other, keep them circulating until they do someone some good somewhere :) Best of luck!

Solo gamedev is a rabbit hole. I wanted to implement the battle art direction, which made me work with lightning, then creating a grass system. Now I am building a scene editor for setup, but to save the scenes I started building a save system, then... #gamedev #indiedev #godot

@witchfell Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. Now you got me thinking haha.

@francium_221 For additional data, the interesting things to look at are using names to hold data, like prefixing things by what they are, or post fixing effects, "TILE-homepatch-WOBBLE", and also using the custom properties fields, both on meshes and materials. All are exported!

@witchfell I use blender for the mechs; the fact you can import the .blend file directly in #godot is great, and updates automatically. I don't use it for level design because I don't have complex geometry. To be honest, is not an option I had considered, maybe there is a space for it.

@francium_221 Yuuuuup, it's rabbit holes all the way down. One way to avoid some of that is to try and adapt as much existing stuff to your pipeline, anything that isn't core to what you actually care about building. e.g. I'm trying to leverage Blender for my level layout.

@emotional_realm Exactly 😅!

@francium_221 That reminds when I was designing the skills and think about healing health over time and then jumped to work the daynight system hahaha

All "tiles" are WIP as I am mostly just implementing the editor and the save system, to get back to art direction. #gamedev reminds of Hal trying to change a lightbulb. youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehc…

@hyakushodayo so cool 😮. What happens if you attach an enemy seeking head, and maybe a rod to force a change in direction.

わぁ.....　上手いこと調整したいけどできるんだろうかこれ 何がどう作用して曲がってるかまだハッキリわからないけど、使いこなせたら楽しそう #ティアキン #ゼルダの伝説 #Zelda #totk

@HGD_Dev Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to it :)

@francium_221 Yeah the third lod for the trees are 2 quad in x, but for better shading and transition i'll try to convert them into octahedral impostors

From #Blender to #Godot using the Rendering Server. ~11.4k trees and still well above 150fps (I'm still going to keep exploring ways to optimize it even more)

Also, updated the "compute icons" to signal the mech is "calculating" its next action.

I did some updates to the placement mechanics to fit better the new grass. Mech range highlight and place icon updates. I like the arrow, but needs tweaking. Synchronizing the tile animations globally gave me more trouble than expected. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

@frogmakesgames The only thing missing is the dark figure when you turn back :o

There was a door here, it's gone now. I created these non-euclidean liminal environments to make the player a little uneasy and confused. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

@oldyzach I always played these games on DOS in a 4 color palette. They look like completely different games on color.

That damn bird! BTW - is that San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz? 🤔 California Games, Amiga.

@MANbari_beats Thanks 🙂, you too!

@francium_221 Thankyou,my dms are always open and i hope you have a good day

Work has been a killer lately, but I did manage to squeeze some time. I implemented a stylized field/grass that I actually like. Also I kept the halftone shadow. It needs tweaking but is getting there. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

@MANbari_beats Thanks! I will check out your content.

@francium_221 Noticed your game dev work. I’m a composer/producer—let me know if you want to collaborate.

@Solestia_JRPG Thanks! Much appreciated :)

@francium_221 I like the concept man keep it up

I am building a mech auto-battler strategy game, where you battle through a theater of operations to push back an invading force. Early stages but close to get a prototype of the game loop. #ScreenshotSaturday

After that I think I can publish the prototype in itch.io and get some feedback before building more stuff.

What I need to do next, is build the scene loading logic, so that I can add roads, forests, cities, etc. and keep them persistent, so that if a node is revisited, the same design is reloaded. Also, I need to discard the deck (not a deck builder) and implement the new UI.
