Do you use textures or model the details and just straight vertex colour?

Great recommendations. I'll check them out. Thanks!

I guess you're just making a dragon ball game now. I support this.

The topology is pretty clean, except for this high density to low density section under the jaw where I did some dodgy shit.

Still it was fun, I think my brain needed this after all the business management tasks I've had to do recently which is all very important but, sometimes you just gotta jam.

I need to get in to hand painting textures more. Keen to try this.

The frustrating part is he will be praised for it when this is his doing in the first place.

I appreciate the Nintendo Directs are in the morning at least. Makes it much more do-able for us Australians being at midnight. I assume they do this for that reason but for Japan.

Yeah, and anything that requires ongoing maintenance costs is risky for Indies hense the typical high yield low effort projects you see from us like friendslop and roguelikes.

We live/die on having the disproportionate output of game VS running cost, fuelled by passion, tutorials, and instant ramen

Oh wow ok! I am just now learning a bunch of things I thought were mods are in fact not. Playing with my wife most nights atm

12.02.2026 22:19 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

What mods? Or is that just a reshade?

12.02.2026 16:27 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah I feel this. It's tough. You either need to build on what's been done before in a way that's worth people abandoning the money time and effort they have already invested elsewhere, or find a new niche that has an audience and no game to satisfy it. You still run a risk either way.

I was going to rest tonight but accidentally got super in to making a flame / flame trail shader. I also learned how to spell Voronoi. #indiedev #unity

I've made the decision to delay the March PC launch of Bumper Bout to align with the Switch version, which will be in October. This change will let me have a bigger launch on more platforms in more languages.

This year will be thrilling and challenging in equal parts. I'm excited to dive in.

Have any other Aussies had any luck verifying they're an adult on Bluesky yet? I just keep getting "something's gone wrong" whichever method I use.
