Hey y’all! Here’s GigRunners prototype download link: lighter02.itch.io/gigrunners Still early in dev, but basic matches w bots should work: - Pick up delivery gigs. - Blow up the other runners. - Don’t get blown up. - Profit! Feedback welcome 😌 #unity3d #indiedev #madewithunity

using vertex painted masks from Blender in #EmberGen #b3d

Night run

@ali3ser @0x___o How cool is that!

we tested a novel method for the architecture in this game where everything shares the same material, which samples the vertex colors for occlusion, edge clipping, damage and texture variation masks. no uv's (triplanar shader), no texture masks (vertex colors) and 1 draw call.

I’ve been taking a little dev break to play with some art again for a bit.. It’s been fun sketching and sculpting again.. soon I’ll be turning this attention to focus on assets for GigRunners Just not this week though. This one’s going to Tears of the Kingdom

@TheJackyMartin Working full time outside of game dev means the weekends are the only time I’m able to dedicate full working hours on my own work.. that and whatever energy I have to spare during the week goes into my passion projects. It can feel like a lot sometimes.

Game developers are usually working too much. I have not seen a single lazy game dev -> ever <- during a decade of on and off development. Only game devs, who said they were lazy, while working through the weekends or long hours in their "free-time".

@MrAwolf Your style is pretty sick, dude!

I must have built like 1000 #lowpoly models in that time. some days got none done, other days like 10. and the #pixelart textures. loved every one of them, when I had the power to work. A lot of dead days. Some days not getting out of bed. but that is how we work. #indiedevhour

@mindthunk @DaveOshry Just completed the story this last weekend and it was one trippy trip. Definitely recommended

@DaveOshry And after Prey, if you need something to scratch the puzzley imsim itch more than the shooty stuff, there's Ctrl Alt Ego.

Let's all just play PREY again.

@TheJackyMartin Lacking social media skill. Marketing and social would be the first things I’d offload if I had funding..

Hey #gamedev !✨ I need your help: What would you say are currently your biggest challenges when it comes to marketing your game?

I have now collected over 300 games worth of video for Game UI Database 2.0! Every single clip has been specially encoded to allow for high speed scrubbing, frame-by-frame. This is great for studying complex transitions and motion gfx, or simply enjoying the UI at your own pace!

Yes! Thank you Mr TheThousandScar. We are 2 unknown devs, made an entire complex beast of an immersive sim with innovative gameplay, highly rated and hardly any bugs at launch. Hope one day a wider audience will appreciate just what we pulled off here.

Here’s some fun concept art I made for my GigRunners game 😌 #indiedev #conceptart #procreate

@psergiomr “A” felt immediately more readable to me, so that’s my vote

Wich one is cooler to indicate that the weapon is boosted? #gamedev #indiedev

@monad_of_eirye To be fair, this *is* pretty damn sick

This was the first moment I thought "damn, that's beautiful" about my own project Not sure if that's vain or not lmao

Photobashing is pretty sweet for concept art.. but hunting for references? Oof.

@with3Gees Happy bday Gregg! Hope it’s a rad one this year 😎

@creepy_org My index fingers are double jointed a bit like that. Grossing out my mom and everyone I could with my weird bendy fingers was a childhood highlight. That person’s retch brought back some funny memories 😂

Hand possessed by a demon

@CrazyRetroGame1 Seeing that movie back then was the first real time I was truly inspired by the idea of indie game dev.. before then, it seemed too distant and abstract to even really think about as a non-programmer

Watching indiegame the movie again (first time since 2012). Fantastic for motivation. I hope you've seen it #indiedev

making games is hard, so here are the best places to find royalty-free assets to make your #gamedev life easier pt 2🧵

@BarelyAGS I actually find taking walks or a short bike ride to really be great. I can’t say whether it helps solve the actual problem but it does keep me (somewhat) sane..

A fellow #Indiedev is stuck with a bug for hours... What would you tell them? A) Take a walk B) Take a shower C) Take a nap D) Give up.
