The last couple of months we've been developing Stickys!

A chaotic climbing game with puzzle elements. Inspired by Human fall flat and Gang beasts.

Here is a first look at character customisation!

I've used shape keys for the faces and Unity 6 new hair physics to bring wild, hairstyles to life. Aiming for expressive, stylised characters.

I've been working on a random caveman generator for our game project.

Do you recognise anyone? I'm sure I could be related to some of them.

I just dug a cave to test some recent work that we've been doing on the lighting. We recently added penumbra shadows while removing indirect light and adding automatic exposure. Just... wow... 😍😍😍

finding moments like this is why we make games!

Im working with this guy on a passion project and just added super exciting new feature. Can't wait to see what people create with this.
testing a very early (WIP) implementation of painting for my game. Needs some work but I'm pretty happy with this so far!

Looking forward to playing this, it looks awesome.
These structures can be found throughout the world,
what mysteries could they hold? 🤔

Did some work with @smuglukas.bsky.social today to the leaves of trees as you cut them down.

Finding the right balance of authenticity versus technical implementation is hard, but I think we're getting there!

Any thoughts?

There's something really satisfying about exploding trees. Should this be a feature? or am I just feeling nostalgic for Lego games?

Absolutely love this, it could be a game in its self. Relying heavily on chat to stay airborne and working as a team.

"Less life on the ass, our nose is dipping!"
Hmm... bug or feature??

Because this game is largely physics based, items are carried around using spring-like physics joints. I've just discovered that standing inside of a crate lets you fly it like a magic carpet 😅😅

I cannot decide whether or not to bug this! 😭

If manchester can look this nice with the right lighting then there's hope for me yet.
Anyway, the goodest of mornings to you.

Super chuffed with how this is coming on 🙌
This is why it is great to be indie, and why it is great to make games with your friends. You get to put real effort and detail into the things that you make. You get to actually use your passion. Indie games FTW!

Think the reason I'm so tired as an adult, is because I gave so much of my energy to Goku as a kid.

Goku! I want it back with interest!

I started today flower pressing at the local park and after a trip to the library to use the scanner, some 3D bodgery.
I now have a new foliage asset in UE5.

Crazy to think that there's been more game dev redundancies.

There's gonna be a massive indie boom next year from all that lost talent!
