It was a lot of fun to do a #playtest with my friends on my #godotengine multiplayer game!
The server was hosted on #playfab and we've done a lot of 5v5 matches!
That sniper shot at the end is really satisfying to watch!

My video game "Salt Lake Stories: Four Short Games, 1912" is still on exhibit on the fourth floor of the City Library in downtown #SaltLakeCity! It's been up since November 2021. If you're at the library, stop by and check it out! The game's also available on @itchio as a Windows download: https://jdmgames.itch.io/salt-lake-stories

In order to make level modules for my game, I needed a module editor. So over time, I've been putting it together, and improving it.
Here's a showcase of what I can do with it.

A new patch for Aerostrike is now live! It adds the Screenshot system, a new free paintjob, and two new Training arenas.

I am slowly going back to old idea of card game in Rust. This time using #bevyengine #bevy, and I need to say that right now it is a real pleasure to use it. Even I did write some GitHub Actions, so I have auto upload of new WebGL version. One big thing missing for now is any kind of gameplay 🙈#rust #gamedev #indiedev

Improved the grass shader, added a wind effect, upped the mesh instance count whilst managing to maintain the framerate and slapped on some lofi music.
I'm liking the vibe

Testing how a city would look like with house windows emitting light. I definitely need to consider some blooming effect to make these stand out more.

Another milestone in creating a customized menu for Taskheat. With NSVisualEffectView using appropriate materials, I've mimicked the look of the system menu. Plus, some snazzy animations make it stand out. #buildinpubic #indiedev #uiuxdesign

#Creativity tip: Have a place to collect, organize, and store your ideas. Can be analog in a notebook, can be digital. Make it a habit to record the fleeting bits you come up to build a mountain of ideas to mine for later projects.
"I'll remember that" - no, you won't. Write it down. Tag it.

You can follow the conversation here: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/75440
I tweaked it more to get a stable result in movement. Godot SDFGI still have big bugs that must be fixed. They are causing little problems manipulating in real time too...
But here you have a complete, improved version that works fantastic in motion:
#NaNoRenO2023 Update!
Well, depending on whether I come up with a better idea for the end-screen art, I think that I may have this draft of my game complete! 0_0
Further, I've drafted a page for it on Itch! ^_^

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

I found this, somebody have it? It looks removed from the Unity Asset store.
Also seems abandoned project after checking forums:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/v3-released-ctaa-v3-cinematic-temporal-anti-aliasing-now-with-hdrp.514774/
But videos and some images/comparision looked great and better thatn native Unity ones.
Wonder if somebody still have this asset, is a shader? Will be possible port to Unreal? ¿?

Mixpanel/Amplitude are not made for indie devs.
