I wasn't exactly happy with the first version of this spear throw so I tried to make it better. I changed a couple of things to increase the impact and make it feel more powerful. The spear trajectory was the most tricky to get right #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #survivalgame #goth #spider #hunt

looks epic! is this a combination of 2d and 3d or some clever layering trick?

Thank you so much! :) The world is a proper 3D scene with a perspective camera. Most objects are 2d sprites with shader magic and perspective tricks to look more 3d. But some objects like rocks and large trees are real 3D voxel-based objects. They fit together thanks to the same pixel/voxel scale ;)

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I noticed that rocks had voxels, but then other objects seemed like sprites, so I was wondering how it works xD Anyway, looks very cool and inspiring!

I wanted some bigger static objects to have depth and be 3D and from what I found mixing animated pixel art and voxels isn't something frequently seen in games... So I decided to make it my style ^^

that's a very unique perspective, and looks fun too! I don't know about the complexity, but it does feel like an extra layer not accessible for my vibecoding monkey brain :D

The most complex part is the custom lighting and making the shadows look the way they look here despite most objects being actually flat. Faking depth of the sprites is a little tricky too. The rest is mostly trying to be consistent with the style ;)
