First pass texturing this cute lil' guy!

He latches onto wrecked ships, reactivating them with his 'glowy bits'.

Been pouring some game juice into Proto Trigger!
- Sensual explosions
- Jiggly score bubbles
- And oh yeah... the Steam page is live 🤫

More juice to come! 🐱‍🚀

Slowly getting there with the capsule art - still WIP!

Now Bluesky,
What kind of game is it?! 🥸

"Just make it good first, you can make it 3D later."

This is how it works, right?!
(Also those explosions will get updated soon, I promise!)

Been doing a lot of re-texturing to make everything nice and cohesive 👍

Here's the asteroid with;
- improved textures
- a pixellated normal map

Look at that crunchy rock!! 👨‍🚀

- Worked away at my skybox generator in Blender
- Tweaked the lighting
- Added some colour correction/grading

Think I melted my eyes in the process, but I'm real happy with the contrast around them there frigates.

As I'm going full Sisyphus atm and still plan on making the beats for my game, thought I'd knuckle down and relearn sheet music.

Look as these fugly-ass sixteenth notes:

Haven't had much to share recently, but started making a WIP logo and brainstorming dev/studio names.

What's the story behind your dev/studio name?

Real rough n' ready clip of today's enemy prototype;
The Parasite.

It breathes new life into wrecked ships.

(It won't be a donut in the final game, I promise.)

After wrestling with my good friend, Vector E. Math, I got circular bullet fire working.

Here's 600 bullets;

No game dev today as I'm chilling in Kilkenny this weekend!

Did a ghost tour to get some research in for a future horror game, and learnt about the ancient Irish art of 'hurling', whatever the feck that is.

Just spent far too long working out how to get 'this' google sheet into 'that' Godot resource.

Here's a great video on it if anyone else needs it:

Quick little sneak preview of the first boss and new enemy palettes!

Tons of WIP stuff, it's only up from here 👨‍🚀🚀

Also, if anyone has tips for instantiation/shader stutter, lemmie know.

HUD/UI redesign!
Gone for a kinda 70s retro-futurism kinda vibe

(There's a healthly dose of WIP art here too)

Here's another model from my game;

Got remapping working in #Godot, works between players and allows for gamepad remapping too! 💪🤓

Don't mind the disGUSting placeholder UI 😅...
