We called it The Glorb. The original glass orb blood meter in the bottom left UI was an expensive design. It used a separate camera and overlays, drawing a liquid surface on an actual 3D object. Although this Glorb v2 isn't as pretty yet, it's a single shader and single draw call #gamedev #shaders

We are definitely using this in the next major version πŸ¦€β€οΈ

We build levels using asset kits, but scenes with hundreds of objects can mean hundreds of draw calls. On the right: the authoring level. On the left: what ships. Our tools merge objects, reducing this to one draw call per material. That means better performance ❀️ #gamedev #tips #scifi #unity3d

While testing a procedural office tower system, we are once again reminded of how weird the premise of Headlice is. You're a football-sized crab-louse hybrid trying to escape a late 90's dotcom corporate office ... and you can possess people by climbing in to their brains #keepitweird #indiedev

End of Ember was one of our favourite games at PAX AUS 2025 and SXSW Sydney the same year. We are so picking up what you are putting down ❀️

#weirdtober is here! Presenting: the attractive gimp. No not that kind of attractive: he is a prop/environment that attracts projectiles and makes is harder for Ember to shoot enemies. Bring the volume up for extra #weird sound effects #indiegames #indiegamedev #weirdcore @weirddaysevent.bsky.social

Next weekend, Headlice will be demoing at NZGDC in Auckland. Swing by the booth if you'd like to see the prototype running on a Nintendo Switch! We have big plans for this little crab

Dev placeholder art is so crunchy and perfect. Exhibit A: the aniseed-flavoured smoke grenade for our horror survival title. Why aniseed? it makes perfect sense in-game, we promise πŸ’₯🍬 #gamedev #art
