It's been 3 years, but we're nearly there! Play testing has been going well and [hopefully] there will be a release within the next month. The only thing left to do right now (other than more testing) is get the Steam page updated with fresh screenshots and an updated trailer 🥳 #indiegames

It's been a bit quiet here lately, but things are still looking on track for release this year 🙂 Pax is taking a breather in the prototype stage after blowing up lots of infrastructure and bots during play testing 😴 #indiegames #godot #gamedev

Some Duke Nukem 3D *may* have been getting played over the holidays and *may* have influenced some level design choices 😁 #indiegames #indiegame #gaming #godot

I feel like Jeff Bezos might benefit from playing my upcoming game and seeing how it turned out for Cola Corp when they replaced their workers with bots 😬 Steam store page is coming soon 🎉 #indiegames #gamedev #protectsarahconnor

Fellow Godot devs: if you're interested in adding dynamic resolution scaling to your game, feel free to claim this script as your own ☺️ This is the script I wrote for the macOS optimisations mentioned in the previous post. blog.fiveninegames.io/adding-dynam... #godot #gamedev

YOLOing several major updates on the web server - what could go wrong? Oh... oh no... It took several hours but the blog is back online 🙏 new post incoming this week with some more Godot tips for the developer homies 🥳

We may be using bombs to blow up evil robots and taking chunks of the environment out in the process, but we are responsible and put cones out to make sure no one trips and hurts themselves on the heavy materials that are lying around 🙏 #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Development has been at a stand still for the last 2 weeks almost as I've had a real life bug to fix 🤒 😭 Trying hard to get back to pushing the game closer to the finish line and post interesting tidbits 👊

Found a bug in Godot's GridMap last week (issue raised). In the mean time though, if anyone else is having an unexpected editor crash when bulk moving items on the GridMap, give this a read and try the work around included 🙂 blog.fiveninegames.io/evading-grid... #godot #gamedev

This may be a blog post essentially just praising Kenney, but it's deserved 😅 The quality of the assets they put out freely available for people to use to learn, prototype with or to use directly in commercial products is unmatched (IMO). Their value to the dev community isn't quantifiable 💚

New blog post for the fellow Godot devs out there. Godot 4.4 has added a ton of great improvements, including one that enabled this tool script to be created (which you are all welcome to take for your own projects if you need it 🙂). #gamedev #godot blog.fiveninegames.io/baking-mesh-...

Maybe of interest to new game devs who are struggling because things feel like they don't look like the final product should do early on. I battled with this a lot early on, and kept starting over; it can be demotivating, but as you can see here, everything starts off looking a bit weird #gamedev

Found a race condition with a window of just a few frames when the player tries to pickup an item whilst taking damage. This is simultaneously debugging my reaction times 😅 Anyone else finishing up the week with any interesting bugs? #gamedev

You may only interact with the elevator for a brief moment in any level, but at least you can now feel it's arrival with a bit of ground shake 🥳 #gamedev #indiegamedev #devlog #indiegame #godot #godotengine

It seems like the audio in the video is being compressed. The shake and sound effect both decay as you are further away, but the audio difference isn't too noticeable after uploading here 😬

More work completed today on the level building tools. Adding these posts into the corners caused a bit more trouble today than predicted 😅 Here's a short tour of a level (WIP, obviously) that pays homage to a game that may have inspired some elements of the gameplay 👀 #gamedev #godot #indiegame

Things derailed a bit today trying to fix a physics issue. It is resolved though, and here are the corpses of 160+ enemies to prove it! (warning: the sound of so many exploding at once is not pleasant 😬) #gamedev #gaming #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #devlog

After reworking one of the enemy models, the old walk cycle with the new armature is starting to give big Liam Gallagher walking down the street vibes 😅 #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #godotengine #devlog
