Tetrinvaders Dev Log Week 2
Tetrinvaders Dev Log Week 2 YouTube video by Grayfox Ninja

for fun #throwbackthursday - here's one of my first games ever - made with XNA back in 2011. It was abandoned, but I might revisit this idea using #unity3d

It was Space invaders + Tetris = Tetrinvaders

What do you think?

I really like this, definitely makes death less punishing by actually encouraging it as a reward.

I think it looks good. It fits.

It's 3D Don't Die Mr Robot! #WishlistWednesday

Hasn't got much coverage. Ain't winning any awards. Not cozy in the slightest.

But it's insanely fun and reviewers like it :) opencritic.com/game/17808/3...

The jam version was updated tonight to rebalance the game, it was far too easy before but I believe we've hit a good difficulty. Can you make it to level 11?

Here's an oldie. I hadn't done a jam in a while and threw this together in two days. It's a Ghostbusters parody and the music is an obnoxiously loud soundalike, but it's a good time.

We met on twitch around 2015 for the launch of Volume and you've been a big inspiration for me ever since - thank you for that. It was part of what got me into game dev.

My question is, do you have any plans to return to Volume? A sequel, maybe a PS5 port? I would love an excuse to play it again.

I don't trust gamers that turn off music in games. Sociopath behavior lol.

Not all game dev discords are like this! We're pretty friendly over at MiniJam!

Velocity Vortex by ReadyMajor Constant Motion on Gravity Defying Tracks for Minijam 175

Hey #indiegame I'm working on an arcade racer/endless runner with a synthwave aesthetic, intense speed, and dynamic soundtrack. I'd really appreciate your feedback, you can play the game jam version here:

I think I like this. It takes up one lane, and covers the entire screen by the time you touch it - so I can trigger a teleport to the real tunnel and play a transition animation. The game is really coming together!

Using a stencil shader to mask a copy of the tunnel to be displayed via a mesh. Starting to assemble this, I'm sure I can blend it in better than a quad. Is there a better way to do this?

Already has the right vibes though, so you are on the right track!

Last update for the night, stumbled across this glass like fracture effect that I'm thinking can represent stages of damage. I can control it via script. This is near final before I fill it with stuff to do. Is it too much?

Exactly!

They definitely help with readability but look a bit out of place.

Quick progress vid, figuring out a shader for this. And particles! This should be a bit easier on the eyes, and the "lanes" will be used to line up targets.

I agree. I'm thinking a noise shader might brighten the empty space and make it less "flashy". Animating it to compensate for the game speed might mitigate the seizure inducing effects as well, but I should probably just allow toggling these effects. Thanks for the feedback!

Prototyping a "warp tunnel" transition for Velocity Vortex for when you hit a target speed. The movement could be a lot smoother but I'm dragging the slider to show how movement might work. What do you think?
