#100DaysOfGameDev #Day1 Well, there are 100 days left in the year. I'm going to work on a few projects and post progress here every day for the rest of the year. Past years I created some pretty interesting projects. Last year I failed miserably and barely got through the first month. Here is a terrible looking butterfly that I want to polish up and animate over the next few days. I need to break out my tablet and crisp up the wing textures first. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGames

After dash-slashing through a few projectiles you will gain a long invincibility period and reduce the time left to survive! ❄️

The battle system of Alveron is one of the core features of the game. It's a classic turn-based system, in which you'll always be able to keep an eye on the turn order and coordinate your actions with those of your opponents. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #pcgaming

On a Postive Gaming Note, Today's Indie Recommendations go to TREPANG 2 :ablobfoxbongo:

This is F.E.A.R + DOOM Eternal to the Max. A Beautiful Ultra Violent Indie FPS with the influence of its predecessors on it's sleeves!

Developed by Trepang Studios in Canada and Published by Team17, Trepang has some just Incredibly Smooth Action and Slow Motion which makes it an absolute blast to play with so far alongside a really interesting almost SCP and FEAR esc Story that's certainly got me hooked!

Pixel-perfect rendering is in! The way this works is:
- All sprites use a custom material that snaps their vertices to pixel borders, so they're aligned with the grid
- A SceneCapture2D "camera" renders the game world to a 480x270 texture
- That texture is then drawn in the HUD, upscaled by the largest integer such that all of it fits in the viewport.

So I'm curious:

People with a Nintendo Switch, what's your preference for docked vs handheld? Do you almost always do one or the other, does it depend on the game, does it depend on what you're doing while gaming? And if you also have a PS5 or Xbox X|S, what's your preference for games that are available on both that and the Switch?

It's our belief that you're such a stupid motherfucker
You'll fall for this bullshit—guaranteed!

Bring your games!

Because at Unity
You're fucked six ways from Sunday!
Take a hike—to Unity
Home of Challenge Compiling! That's right!
Challenge Compiling!
How does it work?
If you can change your code straight in runtime
And not get compiler errors
You get no splash screen!
Don't wait! Don't delay! Don't fuck with us!
Or we'll rip your nuts off!
Only at Unity!
The only engine that calls you a fucking idiot!
Hurry up, asshole!
This event ends the minute after someone installs your game
And it better not be pirated or you're a dead motherfucker!
Go to hell-Unity!
The industry's filthiest
And exclusive home of the dumbest motherfuckers

The best part about indie gamedev is when you find a game on itch.io that has zero comments and they have like one follower and they post some amazing game that is, while simple, far more enjoyable than multi-million dollar corporations

Okay so with this discourse at #Unity I really wonder if I should reprioritize games that are running on their own engine or an open source alternatives. There is definitely some games that I'll still play regardless but if I see something running in unity this will disincentivize me from wanting to try it. Almost on the level of denuvo anti temper and some kernal level anti cheat.

#videogames #indiegames #twitch

I grabbed 3 cool, weird, inexpensive little indie games on sale the other day on my Series X and got to try out all of them this morning.

Catacomb Master is a simple platformer where you play as a cat with an eye patch who shoots arrows. It has puzzles that even I can manage. I did a few levels and will definitely be going back to it. There was another kinda roguelike one that I can't remember its name (it was okay but frustrating right off the bat), and I also grabbed Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. Anybody try that one? Tips? 😂

While Morbid is a REALLY beautiful roguelike - Diablo - Souls kinda game and I want to get better at it, I'm finding it SEVERELY difficult. More research is going to be required for me to get better at it-- maybe I'll look at some playthroughs of it for some ideas. It's THAT tough.

@Fenreliania
After all, #Microsoft, #Sony amd #Nintendo want to make money and whether they get $20 in #licensing from a copy of #CoD or $5 for #CSGO of $1 for #Luftrausers is irrelevent to them, but they may find that people are more willing to pay 10 games at $12 each than 2 Games at $60 each.

And also #Gaming has become not only more "#casual" but also #mainstream...

So why not fluff up the catalog with #IndieGames people may just buy on a whim or by curiosity and ads...

got the character animation and dialogue done today for the entity that greets you when you enter the open world. she will explain some of the context and story.
surrealist encounter. she lives beneath the level.

#GameDev #IndieGameDev #GameArt #Surrealism #Art #IndieGames

A highly contrasted, very bright, view of beneath the level. You can see grass and trees pointing out from the top, clipping through the ground. There is a human like entity hanging from the ground (or ceiling, this is upside down). Her name is angel. She greets you. She has glowing red eyes and light coming from her mouth.

Getting this effect to look right took a lot longer than I expected, but it's done! The two-stage "explode, then flow to player" system helps keep things moving snappily, because the particle effects can all play while other tokens are matching.

#indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

A match-3 game where, after tokens match, they explode into their individual pixels, which then move quickly over to the player on the tactical map.

it's #FollowFriday btw, who do y'all recommend for a follow?

i like:

@ivanpapiol - rly cool game artist

@djlink - generally fun #GameDev content

@denmanrooke@social.coop - amazing artist that does fun streams (also does cool activism stuff @denmanrooke@mastodon.ie)

@Mimosa - my bestie that does really cool art stuff i promise

@renkotsuban - makes really cool weekly posts / streams about #IndieGames

@eniko - lovely indiedev with much needed takes on gamedev and covid

but who do YOU recommend me to follow? 🤔

I’m on the lookout for more weird/surreal #indiegames

Stuff like Crypt Worlds, Jazzpunk, Hylics, OFF, Dropsy, JEF, The Path, Space Funeral, Cruelty Squad… y’know, those types of games. I also recommend the ones I listed if you also like playing games and going “wtf” a lot.

So if anybody has more suggestions lmk

I forget who was curious the other day, but I broke out my physical copy of @platformalist's game Leaving the Tree today and opened it up again. I had totally forgotten how many cool things were packaged with it. There was so much, it was tough to get a pic on my desk! 😂 I'll try to get some gameplay soon - it's even compatible with most Xbox USB controllers.

The rad wood 256MB USB cart in the middle of the photo contains the game and even more of Andrew's (his Eggnog company's) games too- Maze Dog, Coffee Bug, Winterberry, Cat Bandit, Cake Cat, and more.

Incredible, all of it. Lots of stickers and two-sided character profile cards here too. On the other sides of the cards are little descriptions like on the overturned card in the top right.

Check out https://eggnoggames.com -- there are links to these games on itch.io there!

The contents of Eggnog Games' (Andrew Reist's) indie game Leaving the Tree spread out on my desk, and everything inside it- hand drawn stickers, cards, wood USB cartridge with multiple games, instruction booklet, so much stuff!

Could y'all give me a boost to find more indie game devs & trans peeps 😊🏳️‍⚧️

Do you know some popular media focusing on #indiegames ? There is so much talk about AAA, but I struggle to find a fitting community to get to know and talk about new and reward winning rising stars.

“This is a reboot of the 1999 cult classic Flash website.
It is currently under production. Regular updates to the demo will be released until it is finished.”

I bought #NintendoSwitch as a birthday gift in 2019 and it's been a great machine. But there were so many things I wished it could do.

And then came #SteamDeck and did all those things and I'm so happy with it.

I finally wrote down my thoughts on the device and why I love it so much.

(I still love my Switch too for the 1st party Nintendo exclusives!)

#Thronefall is fun. My first game in #EarlyAccess and I am really enjoying it.

For the foreseeable future, I won't have time for a 100-hour game like #BaldursGate3, although I absolutely loved Part 1 and 2. 🚸

That's why I am glad that games like this can be played for one hour at a time. Oh, and the graphics are gorgeous.
