It bothered me that the eyeball could see itself, so I fixed it up. Much better now #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

What do you think? Should I keep the eyeball, polish it up, and add to the body horror on this game? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

"Do you even lift bro?" I added bulging biceps to my stretchy arm, though I'm not sure muscles grow outside of the body... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

Realized my player's outline shader hadn't worked for a while, so brought it back and made a few tweaks so the outlines are thicker closer to the camera. #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

Why not one more iteration while I'm at it! A bit of Perlin noise goes a long long way to helping make those muscles grow #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

Continuing to take my stretchy arms to weird and winding places. I think I can go weirder still! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

I've now given the stretchy arm its own camera for some bizarre reason. If you think this is disorienting now, just wait till the next thing I do! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

What good is a comic book styled shooter without stretchy arms? #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

I've been playing around with hand IK so the hands don't slide when you sneak along walls. Not perfect, but a good start. I love how it just makes you feel connected to the world you're playing in. Also you have a gun now! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

I just rediscovered an old #webcomic I made 15 years ago and I've been tempted to resurrect it. Looking back I'm genuinely surprised at how not terrible my art was! #indiecomics #comics #comicart

Modified my light system to handle lights of different shapes and falloffs. I probably won't use star shaped lights. I did that mostly for a bit of fun! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

There's something mesmerizing about watching scene culling in action. I've tweaked my system to cull lights and entire rooms to give me lots of flexibility in the future. All kinds of crazy tricks going on here! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

I've been improving my shaders for multiple lights and I'm pleased with how robust it is. And through it all the stealth meter still works! You wouldn't believe how much I had to hack Unity's lighting system #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #unity3d #madewithunity #indiegames

I'm really trying to go for that Mega City One comic book look, so I added a few more crazy buildings and lots more clouds for them to poke out of #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #madeinunity #retrofps

I should be making a trifle, but I got sidetracked making fluffy clouds in a proto cyberpunk cityscape instead #indiedev #madewithunity #unity3d #indiegames

I'm feeling a lot happier about the look of my game now. Going for more vibrant colours and it feels more and more like a comic book every day! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #madeinunity

Improved the outlines so they're not just black and white anymore. Feels a bit more natural and comic booky now. #madewithunity #indiegames #indiedev #unity3d

Decided to have ago at my FPS idea. Right now, just exploring colour palettes and textures to find something that feels just right. At least my main character doesn't look like a traffic light anymore #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Still continuing #electronics experiments. This time a sort of car alarm thingy. I think I'm ready to build a terminator next!

I need to come up with some new gameplay mechanics for my #playdate game. Here's one variation on a timed switch using the grapple #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

I've been teaching myself electronics recently, mostly following exercises from a book. It's a simple circuit but here's a small timer with a variable delay. Still lots to learn! #electronics

Second attempt at posting a clip from my game. This time in mp4 format... so this is a #playdate game I've been slowly working on about a cyberpunk dog, flying, delivering packages, and physics gameplay etc etc. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Hi, new bluesky peeps! I'd previously posted this on the other site (who shall not be named), but here's a gif from my #playdate game about a cyberpunk dog that carries parcels from place to place. Also, I just wanted to post something anyway! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
