Have been swamped with coursework lately so haven't been able to work on my own projects as much :( , I have found some time to begin working on a little Wild West Detective game. You take the role of the newest and only resident of Dusthole, With your hard work this town can thrive. #gamedev #indie

My buddy , BuildNye absolutely smashed it today running Star Trek Elite Force for Games Done Quick. Both the first time elite force has been done on gdq and first time he has done any run on gdq. So was doubly impressive. Check it out if you can ! www.twitch.tv/videos/23973....

Finally have gotten myself a new PC ! Looking forward to faster build times with Unity while doing some game dev. Going to be playing some Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (Played on Xbox , but only had 30fps :c ) and trying out some SteamNextFest Demos :D . Any suggestions?

Not intentional when working on crouching, but ended up being a funny bug. The player can hide into the ground then pop up again 😂 Now onto fixing this ...

Created the first hazard for Star Liner: an asteroid field ! Evading the asteroids is based on the ships current navigation system health and power levels. Good enough for Pre-Alpha.. I think! xD

I am working on the Navigation System for Star Liner today🧭. It gives the player a real-time view of the journey and time remaining⏱️. Timer remaining until destination is directly affected by both Navigation and Engine health❤️.

Built a little prototype level for Star Liner today using the Space Station pack from the Sci-Fi Unity Bundle. Might be a bit too high poly for what I need for the final product. But looks great while I work in it xD

If you don't keep the gravity controls in good condition this could happen to you in "Star Liner" xD. Spent some time today adding Low/No Gravity Character State , not perfect but a great start. Now to mess with it some more :D

Began a new project today called "Star Liner," where you play the sole engineer on Earth's first AI-controlled interstellar cruise ship. Starting with the player controller using the KCC system, small but it's a start.

New Pause Menu System !, Very simple , uses the level information panel to save time and resources. But works great ! Now allows players to access keyboard only functions through gamepad aswell as pausing the game ! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #gamejam #fpsgame #fps

My menus now work with a gamepad in "You Have One Shot" :D. The whole main menu is now fully accessible with a gamepad. Now onto the in game pause menu... Luckily I have already done the gamepad gameplay lol

Quick Question: What do you focus on most in your indie games? Art? Gameplay? Sound? , What is that one department that needs to be perfect in your eyes? I try and focus more on gameplay :D solid gameplay is needed.

Working on a replay system for "You Have One Shot" today , once a level is finished, the player can view a replay in real-time, very much inspired by the Superhot and Power Wash Simulator games :D #indie #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #unity3d #gamejam @itch.io @unity.com #bullet #bullettime

I've taken a bit of a break for the first time during my university holidays to play some #KingdomComeDeliverance2 , and let's just say a bit of a break has turned into a day and a half binge session. Loved the first game and the sequel is even better! Easy 10/10 #gamedev #kcd2 #warhorse #gaming
