Added different sounds for if the ball collides hard or soft. Also randomized the pitch a little to make the sound more dynamic. #indiedev #gamedev

I had to visualise losing in a pool game I'm working on, whilst remaining distinct from the imagery of the main game. In the end I came up with a Billiards room lamp blinking out, with the last blink sound pitched downwards. Bit abstract but hopefully it gets the message across!😅 #gamedev #indiegame

Finished the main menu of my game. Features a fully playable pool table! #indiedev #gamedev

Another day, another Trickshot level complete! I tried to introduce the enemies to the player in an intuitive way by placing them in between the player and their objective. This forces them to interact with the enemies and hopefully figure out the mechanics through experience. #gamedev #indiegame

You don't want to know how many tries it took to get this shot for the trailer 😆 #indiedev #gamedev

Today I aim to answer the question, what happens when you cross pool with pinball?🤔

(video is from my upcoming game, Trickshot!)

Managed to pull myself away from Oblivion just long enough to add destructible enemies to Trickshot!

Wasn't sure what appearance to give them so I went with something vaguely chess piece-like. Do you think it works? #gamedev #indiegame

Wanted to share a funny bug I encountered 😅. Should I make it a future hardcore mode? (Might need fast reactions!)

Any bugs you guys want to share? I promise I won't judge! #gamedev #indiegame

Finally got my circular health / mana bars done! Plus a little animation for when the player levels up. Unity's particle system doesn't work on the UI so I had to animate it manually😩. Feel free to reply with any fancy UI stuff you guys have been working on! #gamedev #indiedev

Finally finished the camera controller for a project I'm working on. Features both 1st and 3rd person perspectives with full body presence for the former! #gamedev #indiedev
