Randy Becker 🕹️ Unit Down

⚠️⚠️⚠️Unit Down Charge is out!⚠️⚠️⚠️ My game is now available on Steam, go check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

Logo drop for my game! I'll be making a Steam Page soon for Em The Emissary, I promise! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #EmTheEmissary

Why do all AI bros sound like those old 90s drug PSA's? "Everyone's doing it." As if that has been ever a good excuse to do anything. XD

Somebody asked why my video showcasing Seshbek barely shows what he looks like, so here he is in Anim8or because that is what I made him in. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Every 3D collectathon needs a reason to collect Jewels. So meet Seshbek. I made him big because I think he should be big. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Got my first "Not Recommended" on my game! But... it compliments my most recent game? So for my first "bad review"... I think I'm ok with this! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

First level's tilemap is complete! I... used Fyora's Castle from Neopets Darkest Faerie as my inspiration for the Bastet's Retreat stage. It's not noticeable, but I still want people to know lol.

I just really like the head tilt. I think Imma use a refined variation of this animation for each "Follower" boss he corrupts!

Dis the Disciple! The main villain of my 3D platformer! This lil' guy was given the Scales from Anubis... and has "totally not" already started abusing it's power. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I have made breakable jars and collectible jewels, because a 3D platformer should probably have that. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Unit Down Charge is 60% off for the Steam Autumn Sale! You can get all 3 of my games in a bundle for $5! I spent years on them so if you even get a few hours of enjoyment from 'em, then I have succeeded! store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

The world is slowly becoming more full! Got all the residents with lil' dialogues, and as you progress through the game, their interactions will progress too! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Decided characters within the god realms will be named by combining their god and main characteristic. For example, this one is Akhetra, a devotee of Ra and the sun's horizon. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

At what point does my game become "Spyro but bird"? lol jk, but defo pulling more inspiration from Spyro than most any other source. Is that a good thing, idk, I wanna believe it is. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

So unlike Twitter, I somehow gained followers instead of losing them here. Bluesky peeps built different.

Came across the first ever renders I made of Lars and Dr. Aura from 2013(?) I forgot that Dr. Aura used to be a young edgy emo when I originally made him, lmao. I'd like to believe that's just what he used to be growing up, haha. ^.^'

Level Portals! I know Spyro already did this. I don't care. I like it. Also had to make custom camera snapping and smoothing. Shoulda used Cinamachine, but nahh. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Felt bold. Might delete later, idk.

Finally finished making the tileset for the Sanctuary (hub area)! Now I just gotta start populating it with the citizens and create the portals for each stage, Spyro-style! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Been usin' #crocotile3d to set up my scenes and... yeah, I think I'll be using it for the rest of the game. The placement of the tiles is SO easy with this program... arguably, the only hard part is all the sprites I have to draw haha. ^.^' #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Created a Pixel Shader, and made some wall and floor textures! Haven't done pixel art environments in years so hope it looks good! ^.^' #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I know it's not that exciting, but I removed EVERY "quad", AND (with a lot of labor) managed to reduce the number of triangles to only 1,450! Right in between PS2 and N64 as far as complexity, so I think it fits right where I want. I'm happy with how it came out!

Added camera rotation that works similar to Zelda 64, with a snap-to-front button. Also a Double Jump! Gonna work on attacks and more movement options next, wish me luck. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I remade #On-Rails Shooter List, and created a Google Sheets that is free for viewing! I have over 650 games listed, with sub-genres! Easily filter for what you need! I even have links provided to them! #onrails #onrailsshooter #gaming #games #arcadeshooters #arcade docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Ok, so yeah, 3D platformers are a LOT harder to make than I gave it credit for, haha. But look! He's jumpin' around! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I now know what they mean when they say "suspiciously wealthy furries" because this sale has gotten me more purchases in 4 days than all year. XD

Yeah that's right, I finally made the most basic movement ever. It was difficult. I never made a 3D platformer before, lol. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

My game is 60% off for the Anthro Festival 2026 on Steam! If you like Star Fox, but want a different take on the genre, Unit Down Charge is for you! store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

I don't intend him to talk, so I hope to convey as much of his personality as I can through the use of body language. (Animation is hard btw in case anyone is curious) #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

If you zoom in on his beak while he T-Pose, he makes a lil' Pog face. This is important to somebody probably.

Just to share their size difference. I plan there to be quite a few of these lil' guys all around the Pyramid and they kinda just look up at you and tell you random things when you talk to 'em.

I think the residents of the Pyramid Ship should all look like this. Is it a borb? Yes. Sorta. No. Don't know what to call them yet. They turn to ceramic when they pass on. Lore stuff, I hate to say this is important.

If the new Warriors Cats game is online enabled, 10 bucks says it devolves into a bunch of RP sessions. There is way too much focus on the character creation for them to not know their target audience lmao

Em the Emissary is now fully rigged! I slapped this animation together in a couple hours because I was excited to share him, so uh... camera can be forgiven.

His name is Em. He doesn't have wings yet because I haven't decided on a design for them yet. He has paws for hands because I like paws. No further questions your honor.

I haven't modeled bird peets before. And yes I know I am mixing quads with tris and I don't care nobody will know except us it will be our little secret.

This is the character I had in mind! It's not a finished model but wanted to share what I spent the last 5 hours on. ^.^'

I wanna make an Egyptian mythology-based platformer game with a chibi Horus set in a sci-fi environment with pyramid spaceships & harvesting different colors of the galaxy to create spells. I know it sounds odd lol but does this at all sound interesting to anyone other than me?

🎂Rogue Mode Update is out!🎂 It's my birthday, so I'm releasing the new gamemode for Unit Down Charge! Upgrade your stats using special chips between waves of enemies to get strong enough to defeat Deon in Kit's new test-room! Hope ya'll enjoy! #indiegame #unitdowncharge

My roommate 3D printed a Wario, and I come out of my room to see this EXE-lookin' abomination staring at me.

Look ma, Vinny Vinesauce played my games. Which ones? Those ones.

Oh and uh, all my games are on sale! Unit Down Charge is the lowest it's been! store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

Careful about posting optimistic outlooks on Twitter or else everyone will skew your words and call you various names. XD

All this discourse about how morally correct/incorrect digital ownership is or isnt... And Im still sittin' here with my N64 having fun tryin' to get a sub 20 speedrun in Mario 64.

My bf and I saw a dumb pokemon and he says "Oh that's Slugma" and I was like "I'm not falling for a ligma today" and then he pulls up the pokemon and yeah Slugma is real and now Im just

PS is also removing several of it's online access on multiple consoles. So uh, Reminder that if Steam ever decides to vanish and you lose access to any of my games, let me know so I can give you a permanent download. I'd rather lose all future sales than think of the alternative.

Playing with a custom shader using Lars and his new model. Trying to make it more flat or cell-shaded. I'm pretty new to shaders though but it's been fun to play with ideas and see if something inspires me.

Oh and uh, all my games are on sale! Unit Down Charge is the lowest it's been! store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

Everyone playin' the new Star Fox an' I'm out here without a Switch 2.

Been playing around with an updated model of Lars and some cell-shading concepts. Idk what I wanna do with it, I just wanted to see what it'd look like.
