Solo indie game developer, using Godot 4 and C#. I like birds, especially corvids.
3D version of Belter. Getting better. Player ship, missiles, and asteroids all in 3D. Placeholder models for now. Still no sound, no particles, etc. #gamedev #godot #godotengine

I feel pretty good about this project. So far I've got an Asteroids clone that has functional flying, shooting, scoring, "shield" instead of lives, temporary invulnerability, asteroids that break into smaller pieces, death, & respawning asteroids once the field is clear. #godot #gamedev #godotengine

Think I got all my dealing issues sorted out. I swear, off-by-one errors seem like 101% of my problem. #gamedev #godot #godotengine

Taking a break from my "big" game to work on a smaller game (hopefully), which will include Klondike solitaire as a primary mechanic. The app title gives a hint to the game's theme. Pixel card art is by Backterria (on itch.io). #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godot #godotengine

If I disable .blend import, it asks to save and restart, and a bunch of dependencies are broken after it does that.

That's... not great. Have to rethink doors.

On my generative bullshit again. Starting on rooms, it's going to be a looooot of work to get from this to a random city with streets and shops. I probably won't even need sprites for a while. #gamedev #godot #ScreenshotWhateverTodayIs

Editor themes are a very personal preference, but I have been using NotoSans for my game's UI for a while because it's so readable at small sizes & just realized (duh!) I should use it for the IDE as well. This is "Extra Condensed Regular" @ 16px. #godotengine #godot #gamedev

Scaling up the Magic Numbers to look good with a 2000x2000 map which is my current goal for the game. Got a lot of wiggly-ness & few splits. The number of rivers looks good but I need to spread them out more and maybe lengthen them. Takes over 6 seconds to gen at this size.

Had a bug where I aborted one pixel before reaching water, instead of stopping at the water. The program starts with the same seed so I can compare them, but I can generate a new seed and full map w/rivers in under a second right now @ 400x400.

Looking much better.

Good progress. I haven't done anything regarding collisions with water or itself or other rivers. I still need to end if it encounters any water, dry up in deserts, and maybe some kind of river avoidance to prevent these loops.

Reworking it from scratch, here's a start. Purple lines are potential river sources.

My river generation algorithm is kind of a mess. I end up with lots of squiggly lines. #gamedev #godot #indiedev #godotengine
