Polishing up a demo level for Bat Galaxy. Need to fix a few things and make some performance adjustments. #gamedev #indiegame

A totem style dude that'll require the player to get close to take them out. #gamedev

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · Jul 3

Just a few recent screenshots from Bat Galaxy. #gamedev

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · Jun 26

Got a big waterfall and I'm definitely going to sneak something good behind it. #gamedev

Doing some work on a segment of the first stage of Bat Galaxy. Needs some polish, but it's getting there.

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · May 25

Bat Galaxy is a Star Fox-like on-rails game that also has free roaming areas with open exploration (more videos in my profile). It has a punch mechanic that can whack enemies and send them flying away.

Here's the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3075430/...

Currently I have tapping a key turn the player fully towards that direction, but I can definitely add a setting to adjust that and make it smoother.

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · May 15

Controls will be a *bit* tighter than similar games since there'll be a need for more precise movements (due to waves of shots from enemies). This video was recorded with me controlling the game with a keyboard, so that makes it look much stiffer/jumpier. It'll be smoother with an analog stick

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · May 15

It's recorded from within the Unity Editor so it's like 10% as smooth as the final game will be lol

And here's the upcoming KS for anyone interested (Steam link in my profile as well): www.kickstarter.com/projects/bat...

Coming soon: Bat Galaxy - An Intense, Colorful On-Rails Shooter Adventure

An intense on-rails shooter in a lush world full of colors and billions of projectiles, with a hint of metroidvania

A little sample of the gameplay I've got going in Bat Galaxy. Punching, targeting shots, barrel rolls, exploration, and more.

You can feed the little critters in Bat Galaxy (because petting them with a spaceship would be too hard). #gamedev

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · May 3

These little dudes can drop decoys to mess with the player's lock on. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · Apr 10

It's Bat Galaxy. It's a game I'm currently making and I'll hopefully have a playable demo soon

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · Apr 10

A little bit of intense action in Bat Galaxy. #gamedev

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · Apr 7

Yep, I'm working towards a demo. Not exactly sure when it'll be ready, though.

Working on a bit of a frutiger aero style for this save area. #gamedev #indiegame

The compression deep fried my video so bad 💀 Youtube 144p would've been better than this. Sorry about that.

Excessively wild area to test some new stuff. Rounds changing colors based on distance, destructible objects on the 3d mini-map (also colored by distance), quick turnarounds, and more. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I designed this dude a long time ago but never got around to actually testing him out in-game. Finally sat down for some gamedev this weekend and tested him out.

Bat Galactic @batgalactic.bsky.social · Jan 26

Back into gamedev after a bit of a hiatus. Working on some patterns that'll require the player to dodge and weave through later in the game.
