Made a simple comparison table of the most popular asset stores! I was mainly aiming for 2D pixel art, but it is applicable for other asset types as well. Overall, itch io is probably ahead for me, but it is worth the time to set up other storefronts too.

Started working on a new small game for web plarforms. This time it's going to a be a puzzle slider gameplay with retention mechanics around it - progression gallery, decorations as rewards for certain milestones, etc. Maybe some leaderboards.

🥳 Year recap.
Worked on JICE: new meshes, weapons, an NPC robot, dialogues, started level design for level 2.
Released a web game and even earned some (small) money from ads.
Next year’s goal: 2 web games and.. a bit more money? 😆
Happy new years!

The small web game I've been making recently is now on itch! Can kill a few minutes of your time if you like swinging swords at stuff.

Working on a small web game; couldn't figure out what was causing it to not connect to an extension. Turns out, GameMaker's latest update wipes a part of index.html - with important data from the extension. At least, it wasn't just me being stupid 😆

Dreaming of finishing games
#indiedev #gamedev
That's a whole bean bed
Sometimes, for prolonged periods of time!
Sometimes it does feel like this 😆
#indiedev #gamedev
Something of an atrium in the middle of an office area.
#indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Did some progress on the next part of the Depot. This area is going to be a bit less spacious than the previous one.
#indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Just a cover I made for my side game project.
#gamedev #indiedev
Just jumping around Spaceport, collecting energy.
#indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Changed lighting in this part - added LED lamps where the light is supposed to be coming from and fiddled with global illumination a bit more.
#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Polished the side project a bit more. Added sounds, fixed some ui things, added a movement sprite for the sword, made the enemies fade out on death.
#indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Moved to version 5.6 of UE, had to adapt to some changes like the enhanced input system getting rid of some things. Still, there were also some changes to global illumination, which fixed a few details for me.
#indiedev #gamedev
Will add a bit more lighting, but for now finished with this section of the Depot level.
#indiedev #gamedev
also - and I know it's not gamedev-related, but - the new deftones album is sooo good, and on par with their latest work 🐍
Did some more level design this week. Found out that the tutorial tvs broke at some point, while I was improving the interactions system. But if I don't tell anyone that these screens are supposed to show text, nobody is gonna know.. Oh.
#indiedev #gamedev
A bit more design of the second part of the Depot level, now with lighting. Needs additional jellies..
#screenshotsaturday #gamedev
Its long lost sister
Ditched baked lighting, trying lumen now. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem like it takes up that much more performance compared to the previous setup - with a few tricks for optimization, at least.
#indiedev #gamedev #ue
Not much to show, because I've been fighting with baked lighting again.. Thinking of turning to the dark side (using global illumination).
#indiedev #screenshotsaturday
A little side project - a game I've started during a game jam and decided to work on it a bit more. It is kind of a survivors-like, but every upgrade you pick up is a choice between two. And whatever you don't choose upgrades your enemies instead 👽
#gamedev #indiedev
Spent some time to fix metal containers' UVs. Here are before and afters. Gives the scenes a bit more cleaner look!
#indiedev #gamedev
Some more level design of the Depot level. Spreading the rubble, moving the boxes around, putting some lights up.
#indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Setting up the storage environment, with a cake as a centerpiece for one of the rooms.
#indiedev #screenshotsaturday
“You’re making a game? That’s so fun!”
The fun:
#indiedev #solodev #gamedev
More splines usage - this time to create a big room with walls and columns around it. Split it into ceiling/floor and walls for convenience.
#indiedev #gamedev
Those are some great games, yes 😁
