Universal Games - Celestial Trails

Working on my games electrical system. In the game you have to manage/create resources like electricity to power up in game objects.

something like the windmill will have more amps available depending on wind conditions, for each power pole you use it consumes 1 amp

Almost a year difference between these screenshots of my game Celestial Trails #indiegame #indiedev

Feel like the forest in the game are starting to look more dense and actually forest esque #indiegame #indiedev

Added a water pump to the game

I added these little "tabs" to the crafting menu so that you can change what category of item you're crafting. The crafting and furnace will work similiar to the way it does in rust where standing next to the object allows you to access more options

New UI I made for the community board in Celestial Trails #gamedev #indiedev #indie

Thanks!

Now in Celestial Trails you can place roads and other various decorative paths like dirt, gravel, etc

Celestial Trails

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Celestial Trails is a cozy life sim where you evolve a small town into a bustling city, advancing from the Stone Age to space travel. Unlike others, it features light survival elements, progress-driven gameplay, and planetary exploration. What would make it stand out more? #indiedev #indiegame

Instead of harsh penalties, using visual and gameplay effects like lower saturation, cold screen effects, reduced resource yield, and slower movement makes survival feel immersive without being frustrating. It encourages players to manage needs without feeling punished. #indiegame #indiedev

What’s youre guys favourite indie game of 2024? Looking for recommendations

This is like 4th or 5th time ive redesigned this system. It’s crazy how often being self taught and on no time limit leads you to constantly reiterate. But I’m also an amateur

Halfway done the placement system in my game. I still need to include placing objects on walls, on top of other objects, freely placing objects and some of the visual/audio feedback for picking up and placing, but this is a huge improvement over the last iteration #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Working on my gamejam game "Battery Breakout", a 2d puzzle platformer where you have to escape a house to jump in the ocean. It will come out in 7 days

Sweet setup. What are you using to mount your drawing tablet? It looks convient

These last days I've been working on an asset pack inspired by Megaman games. You can check it out in Itch io.

Also redrew the icons for the seed packets

So I've finished the potato, tomato, carrot and wheat crops with 3 growth cycles for my game #celestialtrails. I'm not a pro 3D modeler, I've always loved experimenting with art in multiple mediums. What are your thoughts on the crops? Love critiscm #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Some of the work I've been doing on my shop UI. Still some work to go to make it feel good to use, but I've never really been great at UI and I feel like I'm starting to improve #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Looks cool!

Add me if you want! Dropped a follow too

Missing some of the tab sprites from the old one. But here's the old Shop Menu vs the new one #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
