Updated pinned post as there's so many new faces here so hello everyone!
I'm Chappu and I'm a solo dev working on a handpainted third person horrorgame about an all girls ghost club.
This is what it currently looks like in engine and below you'll find my gamedev recap of everything I've made so far

Happy #screenshotsaturday, folks.
I've been mocking up some ideas for the hub biome in Helmet Head, and the portal that will teleport you between biomes. I'm liking the vibe of this so far. The setting will be the site of an ancient, titanic battle. Still needs more to bring that across.

Playing around with animations. Don't let the door hit you on your way to watching this clip 🙂 (I don't know if that made any sense. It's late and I'm tired 😪)

So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.

Would it be possible to add a tiny bit of length to women's sweatshirts?
No?
Great. Thanks for always keeping my wrists a perfect ice cold temperature.

Early @gamesground.bsky.social highlights: A great talk about #SensitivityReading!
Just like I keep saying with #CommunityManagement, it's more than a "niche add-on" to your development process.
No, there is a real business argument to be made about improving the overall quality of your game 🎮 📈

One of best parts of making a horror game is every time we find a bug we get to yell THE GAME IS HAUNTED!
Found a nasty hydra of issues last night but don't worry, slain enemies will no longer linger invisibly in future battles! 👻Literally haunting the place!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

What's your least favorite gamedev task (EXCLUDING marketing)?
What's your least favorite gamedev task (EXCLUDING marketing)?
One of my least favorite tasks in gamedev is texturing environment. Unfortunately for me there is a lot of environment in my game.
So I decided I'll be spending the next few weeks looking into materials, lighting and trying to create a material library for the more generic assets.

Upcoming discovery mechanic in AstraX, a 2D space exploration game 🚀
It simulates mapping & exploring an entirely unknown world. Instead of showing data about planets, the UI shows discoveries you made of them
Orange&Green = implemented as of v0.7 (coming soon) #gamedev #indiegames #spacegame
