Been hard at work nailing down the aesthetic for Captain McSpacebiff

Pretty happy with how it's come out

It's still got quite a way to go
But overall our game is starting to look pretty good

Making placeholder melee animations

We're testing a Smash Bros style approach where short inputs do specific moves

Instead of long pre-set button sequences for combo/super moves you just make up your own combos

Hardest part is balancing with the FPS bits...

The two of us are taking a couple days off of gamedev to enjoy the Holidays with Friends and Family

But before that we just wanted to say thanks for an amazing 2025 everyone

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Working on a new Beam Gun design

The idea is the beam gun is the core of the drone and once you beat it you can use the core as a weapon

10 years ago we recorded a publisher pitch video for our 1st game

We used a Rockband mic dangled over a Taxidermied Elk head plugged into an old overheating Toshiba laptop that sounded like a jet engine

Not much has changed since...

When I say we are indie I mean INDIE

Been a minute since we posted, but we're still hard at working keeping our heads down as we keep chipping away at this demo

Added in a highway system, but our hoverbike refuses to see the highway spline mesh as "solid" even though characters do

This is why gamedev is so time consuming...

You decide to add in something simple and it seemingly breaks for no reason haha

Looking forward to when the layout is finished and I can really start adding detail

It's got a ways to go, but I'm starting to really like the overall feel of this level

Just saw someone post in a gamedev group
"Will having children ruin my gamedev career?"

If you're the type of person to worry about kids ruining your gamedev career...

You probably shouldn't have kids...

We finally have persistent dungeons with loot that carries over between scenes!

Testing "Gravity Lifts" that let you access the enemy shade towers

Shade towers make great points of interest

In any open world game anytime I see some sort of lookout/outpost in the distance I always want to go investigate
