Busted Atlas | Proto Trigger

Oop, just dropped my trailer... youtu.be/xmtgGAamvFU Must have got distracted prepping for Steam's Bullet Fest, which starts at 10am Pacific time (whatever that means 🧐). #steam #bulletfest #godot #solodev

In Proto Trigger, you choose between levels as you advance to The Core™. Fight your way through the Merc Base & Merc Colony to this new beat. Let me know what you think! Wishlist on Proto Trigger Steam; store.steampowered.com/app/3954600/... #indiegame #ost #soundtrack #shmup #indiedev

The Da Vinci Resolve UX is like getting sucked head first through a plane toilet when you only wanted to wash your hands. That is all.

Cloud experiments for Untitled Mech Game #lowpoly #gamedev

Meet the pirates! Too lazy and poor to build their own spaceships (preach), they commandeer ships from the invading army. In the pirate sector, you'll face stolen infusers and wrecks rigged to blow as you fight your way to the core. #Godot #Indiegame #Shmup #SpacePirates #lowpoly3D #solodev

Playing through Fatal Frame for Halloween and it's just 👌 So good. Spooked/10.

Thunder Helix is ON SALE for one more day - and this new, and very serious, scenario mission is coming soon !! store.steampowered.com/app/1906230/... #lowpoly #flightsim #gamedev #steam 🚁 🐪

Awesome example of PS1 horror set dressing 👨‍🍳👌 After space, I'm definitely going the spooky route. youtu.be/JJjBcG2IDYQ?...

Started adding achievements to Proto Trigger. Debating whether 1cc should be an achievement or not. While it would be awesome to show off, it's quite a difficult step for a lot of players who'd want to 100% the game. What do you guys think? #Godot #Steam #IndieGame #Achievements #Shmup

If you're into fast-paced, colorful, crisp pixel art FPS that was made by human hands... This is a good time for you to grab this! Mala Petaka is currently 40% off on Steam! Store page: store.steampowered.com/app/2104460/... #gamedev #indiedev #gzdoom #uzdoom #retrofps #boomershooter

A view of the second boss in Alexus 2040. Demo coming in October. Wishlist on Steam. It helps me as a developer: store.steampowered.com/app/3584730/... #WishlistWednesday #shmup #indiedev

Added ship & skin unlocks to my game! Also, the light from the menu happened to give the display model a perfect bit of rim lighting. 👌 #godot #indiegame #shmup #indiedev #gamedev

Had a fun glitch with enemy rotation, I was trying to capture footage of the latest enemy and, well... see for yourself! 😅 The Cruiser has destructable armour plates housing deadly broadside cannons (Not pictured, but I'll show them off in future) #godot #indiegame #shmup #indiedev #gamedev

The New & Improved (And nearly finished 😅) Cruiser. Destroy its armour to disable it's hefty broadside cannons. Wishlist Proto Trigger on Steam to stay up to date! #godot #indiegame #shmup #spaceship #enemy #indiedev

In the 'head down, keep going' part of development, so my meagre offering for today; Very early Game Over screen with an early draft of the BGM #godot #gamedev #shmup #solodev

🤖 Steam Leadboards Implemented 🤖 I'll add both these online leadboards and the 2nd boss to the public demo build at some point in the future. Making good progress, all thanks to GodotSteam! #godot #steam #indiedev #shmup

UV at (two hundrend and fifty) Six. Anyone else working on pixel art textures? Show me what you're working on 😁 #pixelart #indiedev #lowpoly #uv #blender

Working on moving from 'prototype' to Parasite Queen! Having issues with the tail as it straightens - think it might be a weight painting issue - but if you are a seasoned Blender user, please let me know what you think. 🙏 #godot #blender #gamedev #solodev #help

I'm on Spotify 🤣 The places game dev will take you hahaha #gamedev #indiedev #copyright

The Map Screen is functional! Now you can follow your route as you journey to the core. Made using a subviewport at a lower frame rate, with a custom shader for a subtle CRT glow and scanlines. Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3954600/... #gamedev #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday #shmup

First draft of the Map Screen for Arcade mode. From the start, I always wanted a map transition screen similar to Super Castlevania IV and Lylat Wars. Stay tuned for a gif in the near future! 👨‍🚀 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #shmup #prototrigger

Having one of those 01000110 01110101 01100011 01101011 00100000 01110110 01100101 01100011 01110100 01101111 01110010 00100000 01101101 01100001 01110100 01101000 days.

Being a solo dev can be a lot of things, but it's best when it's fun. 🦾🤖 Started doing some foley for my squishy little parasites! #gamedev #solodev #foley #sfx #godot

First draft of the menu theme for Proto Trigger 🤖🎶 #gamedev #solodev #shmup

Taking a break from game dev to hold some lizards and visit my old haunts in Japan 👺 #大阪 #懐かし #Japan

助けてゴドットちゃん! Could any of the Godot sages share their wisdom? Feeling pretty burnt out and struggling to debug this scaling issue I'm having in fullscreen mode. My post here has the full breakdown: www.reddit.com/r/godot/comm... #godot #help #helpneeded

Been squashing many multiplayer bugs in the lead up to the first public, Steam playtest! 😤 No solid date yet - but keep those eyes peeled, cadets! #steam #shmup #playtest #multiplayer

Got the 2nd Boss modelled and rigged up! 🦾🤖 Also, insight into how someone who can only do pixel art does concept art 😆 #gamedev #indiedev #blender #godot #shmup

Working on the parasite boss model, not quite ready for sharing - BUTT - I can share the new store page gifs 👀 #shmup #steam #prototrigger

I'm not dead, I was just working on capsule art - I swear! Proto Trigger has a new #steamcapsule Ft. scanlines and bloom. #gamedev #indiedev #steam

Just in case anyone was wondering, the BBC sound effects library DOES have an Orangutan farting in the woods. 🧐 (1:09) sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/search?q=NHU...

Happy New Year, ya filthy animals! 🎉

Given myself an entire week of game full time game dev. You know what that means, baby. U&I. I'm talking multiplayer lobbies, button remapping, the lot. Feels good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw5O... #UI #GameDev

No dev posts from me this week, instead hear my genuine, childlike wonder as I realize dry-humping the trombone in Peak makes different sounds! Also, the more you 'cook' it, the funnier the sounds it makes. Awesome little detail. #Peak #Indiegame

Just a quick one this week; SPAAACE debris. With just a smidge of environmental storytellin'. #gamedev #indiedev #shootemup #godot #SPAAACE

Calm yourselves ladies n' gents, and assorted riff-raff - I'm going to talk about HUDs. I know, I know... But you only live once!! #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #shootemup #shmup #godot #HUD

You can use LUTs in Godot?! 🤯 Having a moment, that's so cool. For context, this is what a LUT is:

Some behind the scenes for Proto Trigger! This time I talk about using normal maps with a #lowpoly aesthetic. #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #shootemup #shmup #godot

Quick #SaturdayScreenshot for ya, two wrecked versions of ships for my Ship Graveyard level 😎 #godot #indiedev #shootemup #wreckage #blender #lowpoly

Ridiculously helpful guide for you tweeners out there!

Something a little different - a mini devlog about a recent, if a little gross, addition to my game! #godot #indiedev #gamedev #shmup #devlog

Very burnt out this week, but got some good, juicy visual progress to share when the time comes! 👍
