And finally I'm almost done with the building upgrades for the next milestone of #Alone .

The cookhouse's primary purpose is the perpetual stew - which lets you mix in a whole mess of ingredients - proving you with the appropriate temporary bonuses depending on what exactly you put in.

With further upgrades, more ingredients can be added at a time.

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #madeWithUnity

A screenshot from a game. The player character is inside a building. The building is decorated with pots and pans and shelves with mugs and dishes.

There is a chest in the room, two pots with flowers, and a wood-fired oven.

In the center of the building there is a stew pot hanging over a fire.
A screenshot of a game menu - the title says "Perpetual Stew".

A section shows the ingredients in the player's inventory - one fish - and a bonus of 1 strength.

The section on the right is titled "Items to Add" and includes some berries (bonus of 1 inspiration), and a fish (bonus of 1 strength)

A section below reads 0 +1 Portions - and has icons indicating that both strength and inspiration will increase by 1

The section to the bottom right shows that there are 0 current ingredients, from a maximum of 3.

There is a button in the corner reading "Add ingredients"

If a short and sweet, yet wonderfully wacky game is what you’re in the market for then Kraken Academy from Happy Broccoli Games is a satisfying adventure well worth your time and money. 🐙 💎

The title screen for Kraken Academy featuring the main character holding a strange tentacle amulet. There are also a girl who looks like a stalk of broccoli, a character dressed in a giraffe sweater and another character holding a microphone.
The main character is wearing a skeleton costume and solving a shape/color based puzzle in a dark room.
A character profile for Yuki showing  a full body portrait of her likes (Japanese culture) and dislikes (being called a weeb).
The main character is playing the keyboard and it's simulated by playing a minigame where you must line the yellow ball up into a grey/white gradient. The text says, "You play, hitting every note perfectly.".

Tasks list (part 2) 📌

3. Local and cloud storage processing must understand which storage takes priority

4. If there is no Internet connection, the game must save it locally, and then the next time it starts with the Internet - save it to the Steam Cloud

5. If there is no Internet, then the player's achievements are saved locally, so that in the next session with the Internet - to activate the achievements in Steam

#gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #programming #madewithunity #unitytips

Tasks list (part 1) 📌

> ERRA: EXORDIUM 🚘 Under the hood <

I am thinking about the game save system #algorithm, want to make it so there is local save and cloud save for #steam. I think how to process it correctly

1. The player can start the game for the first time, save must be local and Steam Cloud

2. The player can install the game, but he may have a Steam Cloud save, so a local save must be created

Would really suck if you realised you need to just throw out your old data model and start again from scratch.

Is there any privacy-conscious tool like countapi.xyz but for timestamped events? Simple API to send basic analytics (event name, date, userID, some properties) and then get the data (json or even CSV).

Mixpanel/Amplitude are not made for indie devs.

Firebase is a no go (Google).

TelemetryDeck is nice but the number of signals in the indie plan is too low. And I can’t afford (yet) the business plan.

The boss of the Dead Horizon demo is very mobile and very good at shooting you. He tries to avoid your own targeting--Oh no!

He shot straight through your computer monitor! DUCK!

Serious question to all of you out there in Mastodon land... does this kind of thing ever bother you? The screen breaking? Does it feel clever? Annoying? Intuitive?

Also... try the demo!?!: https://pixelwestern.itch.io/dead-horizon-demo

Continuing to prototype my little maze game. I like the idea of speed being the goal, since my last few games have been more about methodical movement.

I'm happy to announce that HappySteps is now available on the AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1672621191
Its purpose is to help you track, predict, and understand what makes you happy :)
As an independent iOS dev, I would be very grateful if you gave it a try and maybe a little boost to see if we can reach the top #100 apps in the lifestyle category!
Cc'ing @stroughtonsmith and @afit who have been kind enough to give the beta a lot of visibility 😊

Folks I'm struggling with #SwiftUI for #macOS and the settings window. Whatever I'm doing for giving some style to the toolbar, it's not applied. It works well on the main Window, but nothing changed on the settings one.

Anyone knows what I’m missing here?

Testing an algorithm that automatically computes water flow based on map boundary flow (water speed exaggerated for visibility). Probably useful for rivers, maybe not so much for lakes?

QUESTION! Back at you #gamedev and #godotengine side of Masto.

What is a weak point of Godot, something you feel could be better. Specially compared to commercial offerings.

I am nearing my choice of engine for the future and just want to get a few more personal notes.

Almost managed to get mcubedsw.com and coppiceapp.com merged together, as well as updating the CMS I use to run it all with revolutionary new features like "previewing content" 😅

Hopefully I can get this all finished over the next 2 days. Come see how I do over at https://twitch.tv/pilkycrc

Dead Horizon is a game where you can 'solve' more than a few 'problems' by using your gun.

There are also many 'non gun' ways to solve problems. For cowards.

Be you coward or cowpoke... try the demo!?!: https://pixelwestern.itch.io/dead-horizon-demo

I have several coloring pages ready to download, print, and color, in my etsy shop.

Here's one I created with code, and inspiration from physics and chemistry. I start out with a particle system, and as the simulation runs the image develops.

Playing with shaders in Godot 4, this one was a bit tricky!

But now the facial features are visible even though they're inside the character's head, even showing through the hair 🎉

#godotengine #indiedev #3d

A video showing a 3D cartoon character inside the Godot engine editor. The eyes / eyebrows and mouth are in a separate 3D mesh, are moved inside the character head, making them no longer visible. Then a shader parameter is modified, making the facial feature appear on top of the face and hair despite being physically under the rest of the geometry.

A large box is then placed in front of the character face. The shader effect only appears if the box is moved against the character, but looks as usual once the box is pushed further apart.
