Having a lot of fun adding new entities, even though it's just programmer art. Added more flower variants, a palm tree, improved world generation, and changed so chunks fade in. #gamedev #indiegamedev #rustgamedev

Half-Life 2 turns 20 this weekend, and we're celebrating with a big update: New developer commentary by the original team, Steam Workshop support integrated into the game, Episodes One and Two are bundled into the main menu, and tons more: half-life.com/en/halflife2/2…

This change was definitely worth it! Absolutely love allowing images (and rows of images) to expand beyond the text boundary of posts! #webdev #css #web #gamedev

Posted a devlog about my experimental #multiplayer! survival.vallentin.dev/blog/post/expe… Tried including a bit more technical stuff, compared to the previous devlogs. #gamedev #indiedev #rustlang

@_V3X3D Thanks! I am planning on making bigger characters, since everything else is bigger as well now, so don't love them too much I wouldn't call myself a pixel artist yet. But you definitely are. Nice art!

@VallentinDev Looking good! Excited to get a first working build! As silly as it is I love those little character sprites, they are super cute for some reason. Cheers (from a fellow pixel artist and sometimes game dev)!

First working build with #multiplayer! Currently, only player positions and world seed are synchronized. It's quite literally the first working build! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart #rustlang

@the_story_nerd Thanks, and I definitely will!

@VallentinDev First steps but pretty awesome steps! Keep it up chief!

The world seed is also synchronized. So changing the seed, causes all clients to rebuild the world. #indiedev #procgen #multiplayer

Finally have completely modular buildings, that can be built piece by piece! Now I just need to add the actual building menu... #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Half-Life turns 25 this weekend, and we're pushing a big update to bring back some of that 1998 feeling with restored original launch day content, brand new multiplayer maps, a look behind the scenes with the original development team, and more: half-life.com/halflife25

My second devlog is online (again), after a few tweaks survival.vallentin.dev/blog/post/maki… #gamedev #indiedev #rustlang #devlog

Another one, with some flowers clinging on to a grass patch in the desert

I have an interesting relationship with procedural generation. I fix this bug, then a few days later it magically makes an appearance again! #gamedev #procgen #proceduralgeneration #rustgamedev #rustlang

@justin_rhw They are small enough indeed. The most expensive assets are character animations, as they have a lot of frames. So when I pack textures into atlases, they take up the majority. But I still have plenty of available texture space, so it's not gonna be an issue anytime soon

@VallentinDev That is so good. How are you handling the loading the assets? Are they small enough to keep in memory?

Spottet a sunflower field in the middle of a forest! Trees and plants are now tinted slightly, so that they look more apart. #gamedev #indiegames #rustgamedev #screenshotsaturday

@Mikkel_Hjorth_ 🔥🔥

@VallentinDev Awesome!

Just posted my first devlog! 🎉 survival.vallentin.dev/blog/post/hello #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #dkgame #screenshotsaturday

@BigWhoopGames Thanks!

@VallentinDev Good stuff.

DevLog post coming tomorrow, if all goes well! I've been redrawing and replacing all sprites this whole month. Still a lot of work to be done, but it's finally starting to look like something! #gamedev #indiedev #rustgamedev #pixelart #aseprite

Finally happy with how the vehicles are starting to look! Not at all excited to make directional sprites for the drivable versions... #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #rustgamedev #aseprite
