It's not perfect since point lights don't cast shadows in my engine, but it looks like I have a torch!

Sometimes I scroll through steam categories to see where my game shows up (this is under "pirates"), I thought it was funny to see @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social basically right above my game A Short Odyssey in the list.

Really happy that we were *not only* able model the cannon live on stream but actually rig up the angelscript code to get it to fire!

Been working on this jungle for a while, hopefully I got it dense enough, it was a challenge to keep everything over 120fps on my modest graphics card (2060 super). But with alot of modelling rework I managed.

Just sharing a nice vista from my game A Short Odyssey. Sometimes I like to just place little plants whenever I can't find anything else to do. #gamedev #indiegamedev #ashortodyssey

Canadians don't forget to vote today!

I cast my ballot earlier and it only took me 5 minutes.

Also I don't think I need to say it on this platform but please *don't* vote conservative lol

Woo, finally got the localization system for my engine working. So I'm messing around with the game in French! The translation is not final, but feel free to correct me anyways! #gamedev #indiegamedev
