HaplessDev

I finished and submitted my game for the #juniperdev very serious #gamejam I hope I get some good scores, but even if I don't I really enjoyed this jam project Chair Spin Simulator: haplessdevjake.itch.io/chair-spin-s... Available in browser and by download!

Bearded and more smiley profile pic update!

I really enjoy learning how to make shaders and systems, in this I replicate a portion of the style from Animal Well (scanlines, outline shader and bloom) in Godot its an old (3 years ago) project i decided to revamp. Even built a custom room loading system for it!

Wanted to test an idea (yes I jump between projects a lot sue me) Didn't think it would look so terrifying

Bones!

Long gone are the days of the desert cat, the character is now a archaeologist (which was always the goal). Noticing new chunk seem issues though...

Fixed the stitching between chunks of sand, lost the really defined shading of the sand though :(

Sometimes I just like being quiet while making something experimental.

Yes I would, I’d overscope a car too!

I cannot wait for GMTK’s game Wordplay to be fully released I love word finding games, and it hits all the right spots

Everyone who sees this should go look at (and buy if you so please) Chloe’s game, She’s been working on it for a while now and it looks fun! #indiedev #ipostsoirregularthismightnothelpmuch

I took too long trying to replicate Quake movement... rip. But hey I learned some new cool movement code!

All hail the ball of yarn! Attempting to join the #gamesforgood Code for a Cause jam, I usually run into the wall of not having time though (usually caused by over scoping or unforeseen events) Idea is a fast-paced 3D platformer about a cat killing rats and collecting yarn.

I get way too easily distracted! Lack of self discipline, but hey at least it's just a fun hobby. If I can get basic "AI" (ye olden game style AI) working for certain things I could actually finish this relatively fast. Maybe I'll beat the timer that is my attention span? #hobbydev #indiedev

I also enjoy making small spooky looking prototypes, though I rarely ever share them as I can never quite get the horror genre to work when I make stuff. Well that can probably be said for most projects I've started and never finished :/ #indiedev

Figuring out how I want to build areas, for some reason I find level design easier in Blender yet prefer character modeling in BlockBench... Don't know why Anyway, ignore the clearly copied from Webfishing textures, just needed a visual for the world, as 1 gray block is hard to look at #indiedev

I've consumed so much hot chocolate over the last couple days, it's incalculable

Just had a very scary bug happen where godot kept on confusing my models at runtime/whenever I started godot back up... luckily I just had to delete the .gltf.import files and reimport it all but god was I spooked!

Figured out a way to do it and still be animating/modelling in BlockBench, I have succeeded once more in learning as little Blender as possible #indiedev

An example of the Items, both picks use the same model just a different instanced Item where the models materials have been altered. The Items model colours/material are set using a data file... any who I just wanted another pick of my picks

Nothing new visually to show but I've got the framework for model data files AND items so no more jank with adding an item model to the characters hand... well not so much "no more" as "less than before" as I haven't decided on using materials v. textures or some mix #indiedev

The fantastic game jam @ludumdare.com is sadly not running any events in 2025 as host Mike Kasprzak is struggling financially. While Mike isn't specifically asking for donations, he does have a Patreon which helps cover the jam's expenses. Perhaps we can help? www.patreon.com/c/mikekasprz...

Slowly but surely getting everything I want for a MVP. I now have some of the code needed for equipping an item model to an entity model The system I have right now for colouring these models is janky as heck though #indiedev

We have colours now! finally starting to look like a goblin in a cave #indiedev

And the goblin-esque creature has been animated #indiedev

The pills now have goblin-esque untextured models #indiedev

This is one of many mindsets that are needed for not just game dev but all programming to survive into the future I'm glad to still see that there are developers still focusing on their output product being good, rather than the tools they use being "popular" just to catch eyes

I'm just starting to fully shift over to bluesky, enjoying the move as it is giving me a chance to restyle things to who I am currently Anyway what I actually wanted to post is, lists are so cool I didn't even know twitter/x had that until seeing it here and wanted to check if twitter had it

Maybe making a thing, at the very least I'm trying out networking. Got a proper client-server architecture using Godot where the server/host is a player too and all data is sent through them. #indiedev
