IK shenanigans 😂

Anyway if we're talking ROI, scope is obviously a big matter. If you want to ship AAA games fast, you either have to put a huge lot of people on it, and/or multiple studios, working on slow evolving techs and toys, or put 10 years into each project, a la Rockstar.
That doesn't really make sense.

Right, right. Though most of the time in the top 100 selling games on Steam, <20 games are above $45 (including the ones that are way below $50), whatever the scope or age.
Ignoring this is while being an actor of the VG industry is at the very least irresponsible.

I did all those commits and all I got is this cute coffee machine☕
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

It's a tile-based 3d modeling tool packed with features, and quite fun to use! You set a tileset with arbitrary sized tiles, and mine uses 32x32, hence the pixel art aesthetic. Basically you can put/stitch squares in your 3d scene, move vertices, and edit UVs to your liking.

Sound on 🔊!

New year, new update 🎉
In addition to what's in the video, I did various other things, such as:
→ Cover aim memory
→ Climb detection & clearance fixed
→ Dialogs UI tweaks
→ Clear windows (from inside)
→ Misc refactoring & optimizations

Err... Thank you I guess

Using a sample of the ~600 highest paid mofos of the industry is not how you conduct a proper survey. Just a thought.

Thank you so much!

Thank you 😊

Hey guys! It's been a while.
I'm busy with the whole "having a job" thing 😅.
But the projet is still alive!
Here's a small update:
→ WIP on hospital's interior
→ Various fixes & changes : climb, save, gameplay phase transition, etc.
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

Here's a few updates in video 😄!
And some other changes:
→ Improved AI navigation 🤖
→ Tweaked gunplay and aim assist 🔫
→ New fences with rays around the combat zone 🚧
→ Misc optimizations & refactoring 💻
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

Those pesky robots are relentless... 🤖🔫
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

Is this ominous enough 🤖😨?
Anyway, I may tweak aim assist a bit, I'll see once enemy AI is implemented.
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

Thanks for the feedbacks! I'll try tweaking FOV, and at the very least I'll implement settings with a slider somewhere.

Introducing... TREES 🌳!
Ok that's not that exciting. They work nicely with the volumetric lighting though 😄.
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

At one point, this scene will resemble something of a town, I swear 😅
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

Introducing... MORE DOORS🚪!
I'm pretty happy with this one 😄. As always it came with misc updates:
→ Restaurant update (3d, items)
→ New items
→ Doors system refactoring
→ Interior occlusion fixes
→ Physics layers handling update
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

That's kind of a genius move 😳

Introducing... DOORS🚪!
And ofc various other things:
→Camera tweaks
→3d models updates (hospital sign, decals, restaurant shelves, lamps, etc.)
→Interiors
→GI update
→Misc bugfixes (localization, focus/constaint cam, aim, climb, etc.)

STOP! Hammer time 🔨
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

They call him "The Builder".
#unity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #game #crocotile3d

I'd love to! My art skills are pretty limited though.
The animations would definitely benefit from some extra prod value, like with hair flowing, clothes deformation, smear frames and stuff ☺️

It's a 3d model I captured into 256x256px textures, for the albedo and the normals also.
I wanted the retro vibe, but if it's pretty lightweight in compute for the CPU and the GPU, the RAM takes a hit for sure (around 600MB for the whole moveset).

The character is a billboard with 10fps sprite animations, parallel to the camera frustum, with some damping going on 🙂‍↕️ The pixels are not always the same size on screen, but it's smoother this way, and ultimately not a huge tradeoff, especially since the moves are not that big, as she has no legs 😂

Thank you very much 🙂‍↕️! Haha yes the shed is the first building I imported in here, as a tryout, and it worked fine.

Some very miscellaneous updates/additions 😅
→ A counter for the restaurant
→ Pushable objects (& a shiny trashbin)
→ Health handling w/ hit feedbacks, fall damage, and death
→ A game over screen
→ Level data loading with dedicated screen

Hey thanks ☺️
