Trying to make indie games. Pessimistically optimistic. Not very enthusiastic. There’s no way this could possibly go wrong.

Manually placing buildings for my city level felt like a lot of work so I created a custom editor instead which can randomly place them for me. Now I smash "Randomize Seed" until I get a layout I'm happy with #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Here is the missile system in my #indiegame with added missile trails and explosion effects #gamedev #indiedev

It's been a while since I posted about my #indiegame but here is a work in progress for target lock for missiles (complete with debug overlays so you can see what is happening) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Moving this into the game has been slow progress with lots of tweaking of behaviour settings. Gradually coming together but it's hard to actually figure out how aggressively the enemies should move without having some semblance of an actual level so I might do that next #gamdev #indiedev
Getting the enemy movement to work in 3D space went pretty smoothly. A couple of funky glitches in certain scenarios but this is probably good enough to start bringing into the game #gamedev

I was hoping to complete the gameplay loop of my game by the end of the month but instead I started a new farm on Stardew Valley #gamedev

To my #GameDev / #DigitalHoarders folk, if you have not claimed the free Megascans assets yet, you have a couple of hours left to do it. approx 18k assets for free.
do it in both places, because they are used differently.

Today is the deadline I set for myself for releasing a demo of my game. I'm happy to say...that I am absolutely no where near that milestone but I have learnt a lot along the way.
I can't wait to come up with a new milestone and miss that one too #gamedev

Did a bit of work on nearby object detection this evening, should just need to calculate some some steering forces and the enemy should be able to *attempt* to avoid other obstacles in front of it

Here is an example of pursuit, wall avoidance, and wander behaviours combined. Different behaviours have different priorities so, for example, enemies will try to avoid crashing into walls above all else. Next I need to add avoiding crashing into the player or other enemies #gamedev

The enemy AI movement behaviors were a pain to work on with the third person view and steering controls in my game so I created a separate scene as a test bed to provide a better view to observe the enemy behaviour. Here they are plotting a basic intercept path to the player #gamedev

I’ve had this book on my shelf for years and I’ve skimmed it periodically. Now that I’m actually doing some #gamedev this is proving to be a fantastic resource

The most unreasonably priced service AWS offers is a hosted zone.
It's only 50¢ a month, but still, I can't get on board with paying for DNS when I can do so much compute in a free tier

I had been considering adding a sideways "dodge" movement to avoid incoming projectiles. But it might be best if I stopped pissing about with random stuff and actually implemented something to shoot those projectiles at the player and *then* decide if this is fun to have

I have a whole bunch of ideas for games I want to work on and one I’m actively developing. It’s currently taking all my willpower to continue to focus on the active game and not get distracted by the next idea which comes along #gamedev

One of my favourite things about #gamedev is my ability to accidentally create effects in minutes. If I intentionally tried to do this I would probably require 3 evenings work and a bottle of wine
