"VFX Godot" in big font surrounded by orange and blue explosions (stylized).

Made a video on VFX in Godot 🔥✨ youtu.be/htRjt505sPg

#gamedev is equal parts fulfilling and exhausting. But damn is it fun.

Thank you so much!

After dealing with some tech debt, finally got around to adding a cutscene and shader dissolve mechanic. Overall, feeling nice! #godot #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

1 year in! Come a long way 😤 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot

Thanks! I actually prototyped realistic inertia/wind but it made the game less enjoyable. Sometimes accuracy takes a backseat to fun - that's why Mario can change direction mid-air! Different games, different goals. Thanks for engaging!

Shaping up to be an exploration/ discovery game! At least that's how I see it so far haha

That moment when your game stops feeling like separate systems and becomes ONE experience 🎮 Finally got my dream boat modeled & animated! ⛵🌊

That means a lot! It was in a very rough state when I first got started. Shaders are an easy rabbit hole to get lost in, and I'm happy I can move on to something else finally. Definitely keep at it! Your project is coming along great 😃

Thank you!

This is beautiful work! In love with the art direction and water shader!

After weeks of work my ocean is finally feature complete! ⛵😤 #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Wake system is up and running! #gamedev #solodev #godot #indiegame #gamedesign

Thanks for the interest and the compliment!

Honestly, the vision is still coming together. But at its core I want to give players a sense of freedom and exploration. A boat on the open sea always symbolized that for me.

Some great progress on matching the waterline to my boat!

Thanks so much! Will do my best to share more updates!

After a ton of work I finally have buoyancy! ⛵ #gamedev #indiedev #godot

For sure! Biggest thing for me was not trying to reinvent the wheel. I found the best approach was to use a free resource, then heavily modify it based on my needs. Godotshaders.com is an excellent resource!

Here's a basic version of what I'm using now

Using Blender for all my modeling, but the boat is just a free prop I snagged while I spent the majority of my time on shaders and mechanics.

Thank you!

Making steady progress on my dream game! #godot #indiedev #solodev
