Added level thresholds, which reject you if you don't boost through, also made a cute little boost effect

Put in tons of new features this past month including progress on multiplayer (there's a Player 2 bot in the background of this vid, yellow guy)

Made a new animation system to work with unreal poseable meshes and now the "world scrubber" has a full redesign along with procedural sleep, wake, and climb animations. Sound FX work next week, along with multiplayer stuff.

Put in the first special ability, speed boost, but gave it a little too much gas, actually gave me some ideas for traversing empty parts of the level (and I definitely need to revisit that annoying beacon sound, reminds me of a car door left ajar)

Finally back to some shareable work after overhauling my level system yet again. Added in wall obstacles. Prelim sound pass as well, not well mixed yet but slowly growing into a healthy biophany. Should be getting videos up more often again.

Started running into Quest 2 perf limit, had to rethink game design, which provided a lot of clarity and now I'm happier with the direction of things.

Also now have this line of sight material swap so the player doesn't lose sight of their Feng ship.

it's been sound production for the last month. more familiarity with Bitwig, but unnerving to "leave" the actual game for so long.

worked on "FengCam" (ship POV) material today (still not ready to include sound in the videos quite yet)

Added the "Feng Cam" which gives you a little ship POV screen under your controls, very helpful for double-checking your Feng's alignment. Also have the new "dagger" obstacle type seen here hitting the Feng ship.

phew. Got my new playlist system running for building spawn patterns. This is essentially how I will do level design, with lots of procedural variation. Seems we've got ourselves a video game here...

While trying to get more organized I wound up completely reworking my procedural animation approach. So it goes. This blog post by @charlesboury.fr is a great motivator anyway.

One step closer to good enough.

a lil video of my northern lights shader for the @valheimgame.bsky.social deep north update

technical details: this is a low step (6 steps!), fully additive raymarch - runs in the skybox shader so our reflections match

Color changing is in. It won't be a constant shift like this in the game, I'm just testing the vibrance curve.

Decided to switch gears and do another pass on the motion control UI today. My system uses a single axis for yaw and pitch control and I really like how simple it is while still allowing very fine-grain adjustments, suits the arcade feel I'm going for.

moving on from "baubles" next week, gonna do some last things with control UI and "World Scrubber" FX, just a few more systems to revisit after that before going all in on actual game design and level progression...

Some positivity for today.

Here's an Indie Solo Dev Starter Pack.

Yesterday's Indie Game Studio starter pack went off like a rocket so this is for folks who didn't feel they were a 'studio'.

If you'd like adding, please reply with your handle.

Reposts welcome 🙌🏻

Hi, you may have seen my concept video of the physically correct slime before

I'm releasing a new trailer about the slime's game designs this month - I quitted my job to turn the idea into a real game

Just moved to bsky, follow me to keep up with the journey of the 🟢!

hi newcomers, I'm making a laid back VR game called YoFengYo, inspired by old, short-session arcade games (with unique motion controls and gameplay systems), follow for wip content

here's some video of the "falling bauble" pickup design/code I worked on today

almost done with new Bauble design, I'll show the different growth stages later this week (as well as what happens when you collect one of them) but for now just a rain of red and blue baubles
