Hot damn we almost have a video game on our hands

So THAT'S how it happens! If a nice lamb gets eaten by evil fleece, it becomes a possessed sheep enemy.

I'm trying to brainstorm names for them all, something in the vein of "breegul" or "bob-omb". Sheep-creeps? Itchies? Still working on it.

Been quite a year learning game dev (the first picture is from July but whatever)! Happy new year!

Early image from the game dev process where the character is a capsule shape with a nose Recent inage from the game dev process where models and animations are finished; a pig runs from an evil sheep fleece

The fleece is just as eager to attack an innocent sheep as it is to attack us 🤔

Been ironing out code for reusable enemy states, I'm really happy with it, and it'll speed up development a LOT going forward

I’m not big on either platform but identical posts on each will get as many likes here as they get views on Twitter

Who's this new enemy? And why does it bear a striking resemblance to the Sleep Sheep? Experts are thinking this third half-finished render holds the clue.

#indiegamedev #lowpoly #blender #b3d #gamedev
A low-poly ball of sheep fleece with angry eyebrows and an evil mouth. A Sleep Sheep, a low-poly sheep with angry eyebrows. A half-finished render showing a sheep without a complete body, only arms, legs, and a head. The eyes are less angry than the Sleep Sheep's.

Been really busy with international travel and holidays but I’m back to work cooking up some new game assets that I’m excited to share soon.

In other words, big things coming!

Configurable enemy spawner! Tell it which enemy, how many, and how far from the spawner to put them. Pretty simple for a dev tool but it gets the job done.

If the sheep sees you, it'll chase you down, wherever you go...until you get too far away, and it starts the long walk home.

Need to know when you're in the sheep's "cone" of vision? Check the dot product of the sheep-to-pig Vector3 and the sheep-forward Vector3. If it's above 0.7 then it "sees" you!

Apologies, high school teachers, I *am* using trig in real life.

My sheep enemy goes between idling and wandering in random directions, but whenever it leaves its home area, it'll turn back toward the center (10x speed)

Pretty happy with the sleep sheep's running animation! The flailing floppy arms will be very intimidating when it chases you down.

Something's up with this sheep, it doesn't look too friendly

Been busy with Hades 2 and Silksong, but still working on #gamedev! Added three punches and a belly bash, and the bash can come out in the air if you're not going too fast. Also forgot to disable bash-mashing, so he Kirby-floats lol

Who wore it better?
The model for a video game pig curled into a ball, with no features showing, just a ball of pig. The Majora's Mask N64 model for Link's goron form curled into a smushed ball.

HE ROLLS. Added a second model instead of just making him curl up. Wasn't sure how the model-swapping would look but with the "scrunch", "aerial unscrunch", and "idle unscrunch" animations, I think it looks pretty good!

Something's off about this dive-roll animation but I can't put my finger on it

We have all the collectibles now! Talisman, moon token, and...golden coffee bean? What could they all be for? 👀

Been having a lot of fun pretending I'm making Donkey Kong Country (turning 3D models into 2D sprites). I also updated the moon token colors to stand out from the background better.

Been cooking all weekend on a collectibles and a HUD! Only moon tokens are modeled so far, the others (and the font) are placeholders. Took a while to polish the single vs group sliding.

That's it? That's the lost episode? That was just a bunch of cheap walk cycles!

Various bits of polish:

- dust trails when he starts/stops running, turns sharply, or jumps/lands
- skidding on his heels if he stops from a sprint
- stretching when he jumps, squashing when he lands

Been debating for a while which approach to use to make him lean into turns, weighing pros/cons, mildly stressing about it in the background for weeks while working on other features.

LookAtModifier3D. Easy. 5 minutes.
