Experimeting a little with 3D in Godot. Lots to learn still. Here's just a little 3rd person controller. It has a basic node-based state machine and a camera that follows around and collides with objects so it doesn't get stuck inside.

I gave myself the challenge to make a game in LÖVE over the weekend. I ended up going a little bit over the deadline because I didn't find music for it until Monday morning, but I still consider it a success. This is ASTRO BURST, a basic vertical space shooter game.

Small weekend project. A very simple asteroid buster game. The main gameplay is almost finished. You can move around, shoot asteroids and power up. I have in mind a rogue-like aspect where you exchange your points for upgrades or to unlock said powerups. Will it be too ambitious? #gamedev #indiedev

Early prototype/mockup of my new project. A sort of first person dungeon crawler where you go through rooms until you find the deepest end of the dungeon. The plan is to have very simple turn-based combat, looting and npc's spewing obscure lore. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart #rpg #retro

After an involuntary break (previous computer died), I'm back on the beginner indie-dev train. With a Flappy Bird clone, of course. It's not the prettiest, but it works and, more importantly, it's finished. Done in Godot this time. I like Godot, usually. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Slowly, things are starting to look like something.
I think I'm finally happy with how collisions work. I spent too much time reinventing the wheel, but I learned a lot in the process
Unfortunately, the holidays are over and progress will slow down again

It turns out collisions are a massive problem, but after devoting it way too much time, I think I'm *starting* to get my head around them.

More cellular automata fun in LÖVE.
Do I actually understand how this works? lolno.
But look! Pretty Zelda triangles!

This counts as gamedev, right? It's got 'game' in the name, after all.

An alternate version of the falling sand simulator, with a very rudimentary color picker.
