Flux Commander on Steam
The year is 2073. After oligarchs and tech barons bought the world, they rule with private armies, machines and fear. You are a one-ship rebellion in a tactical SHMUP where you slow time, dodge fire, ...

Working on more content, have added some cannons that can move in predefined patterns to the demo level, plus some new bullets. I keep dying, so I must be doing something right 😅 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #videogame #shmup Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3909790/...

Hey #PitchYaGame ! Flux Commander is a shoot-em-up where you can bend time! Use it to get out of sticky situations, or when you need to pump extra many bullets into a boss ASAP!

Due to a mail service mishap, I didn't receive Debug #11 in my mailbox until this week, where they printed a screenshot from my game, Flux Commander, along with hundreds of other indie games. Still so proud of seeing this in a real magazine!

Took a break from working on the demo for my game, cause implementing high scores turned out quite dull. So to have some fun (this hobby is supposed to be fun, right?) I decided to learn about rigging and weight painting for what will eventually be a boss in my game. Was it fun? No. #gamedev

Missed #screenshotsaturday as usual, but today, I made this neat little shield with a noise-based shader, to show that the player is invincible for 2 seconds after returning from dying - which can be significantly longer when slowing down time with Flux Energy! #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

As always, my #screenshotsaturday post appears on Sunday 😅 This time, I am testing out some EVIL bullet patterns, which I am pretty bad at. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

I gotta say, the Facepunch Steamworks library is absolutely awesome. I just made my first Steam achievement and it feels great to have that thing pop up! #GameDev #IndieDev #MadeWithUnity

There is a tiny image from my game in Debug Magazine #11. I am irrationally proud of it, cause the only reason it's there is cause they asked for indies to post screenshots to them. But still. It's there. In a print magazine. And that just makes me happy 🤗 #GameDev #IndieDev

Today's #gamedev moment in Unity: Setting time scale to 0, then trying to do a WaitForSeconds(1f) and wondering why nothing happened after that 🤦

This is a really good guide! And the phrase "brushes not supporting constant world-space scale" finally made it click for me - THAT is something my mind really craves for texture painting to make sense in Blender!
Sharing all of my blender texturing secrets in this in-depth ucupaint guide, hope it helps 🙂
Texturing in blender with ucupaint
What is ucupaint? Ucupaint is a free and open-source layering and baking addon for blender. It abstracts away the shader graph into a layer stack to allow texturing with layers rather than nodes:

My first pass at a #Unity shader graph terrain shader for my #shmup, Flux Commander. The shader just picks and blends in textures based on the world position height, but already looks pretty cool to me! Trees by Kenney, textures from cc0-textures.com, a great resource! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev
