classic bit of gamedev smoke &amp; mirrors i present: "fake interior tube" similar to the famous 'window interior parallax' trick, but projected on a cylinder 😊 cute, huh?

you can even reconstruct the 'fake' world position and sample the shadow map.. see how the bars are throwing a shadow into the interior?

thing #124 I learned while making a car game for a "nitro" effect, literally all you need is speed lines + reduced FOV you don't even need to make the car faster

guess the engine

rendering particles into a wind map.. oldest trick in the book but still cool

I was today years old when I learned to use Sub-Emitters did this with a Rigidbody for 15 years 🤦🏻‍♂️ The term "Birth" confused me, I thought it did ONE particle for each of the parent's particles (useless) But it's an EMITTER that FOLLOWS the parent particle, exactly what u want

gamedev friends! please help! I am trying to export from blender (-&gt;fbx) A mesh that is PARENTED to an animated bone (not skinned!) I CAN'T find a combination of export settings that will. correctly position the object in Unity (the yellow container in the image)

Take your time. Drive. Explore. Wander. #pixelart #indiedev

Unity has a weird bug where if you change Physics-related things, it causes WheelColliders to drop through the ground 😂 tho: always kind of cool when a game gets to a point where all the fx apply to bugs too (screen shake, particles)

my day 1 advice for a new project: STOP USING STRING (for player facing text) Unity's LocalizedString is a drop in replacement! Unfortunately the UI is not quite "drop in", so I fixed that! It now looks JUST LIKE a string! (until you fold it out)

in games you often want sounds to emit from an area a quick hack: move 🔊 to the *closest point* inside assets exist for this, but I didn't like their usability/performance, so I built one it's a really nice tool even for non-audio stuff is anybody interested in the source?

GARBAGE COUNTRY has a publisher! Making a game is.. intense.. (a big game even more so.) For years you just work and the doubts and anxieties can really creep up on you.. it's so great to have someone in your corner 🥰

this coloring is another bug it pains me to fix..

i often use 2-sided geometry, and the cell shading is pretty subtle. that leads to interiors looking a bit bright i could create new textures with hand-paint "baked lighting" on the inside, but instead i wrote a little 'fake AO' shader applied to a volume #indiedev #gamedev

graybox good adding asset + graphics is a mistake

looks cool paused

i always had struggles "dissolving" mesh particles, especially since in this game I try to have no alpha transparency progressive dithering doesn't always look good but i have a new trick and it's great! i just painted a super quick dissolve map in blender 😍 was so easy!

being able to pop into a level at an exact location is so important and so common, you NEED a button for it.

left this meme on the shelf to ripen for a couple months but here you go "just make it exist first"

this makes sense, right?

How our indie game actually feels

Officially announcing my new game: GARBAGE COUNTRY. A lonely road trip through the ruins of a forgotten world. Feat. Vast wastelands, tower defence battles, upgrades, mysteries, &amp; lots of driving.

i've been painting and putting together this little pixel 3d world it's not a game yet.. (but RT if you'd play it 😇) #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

can anybody guess how I animated this cable? you might be surprised at how simple it is! 🤫

thinking about letting the player 'turntable' the car from the inventory reminds me of the 'garage' menu in racing games is it bad that it lets the player do instant U-turns, too? what do you think?

drake meme: ✋😒 fix bugs and create content 😎👉 f* around with water shader

🌊hey friends! the game we have worked on since last year is releasing TOMORROW 🐭 Pizza Possum 🍕 is a little arcade stealth game about stuffing yourself and getting away with it 💨 i'm super excited to finally share it with you all! ✨

i'm extracting the #CloudGardens plant sim as an Editor tool for use in level design (removing all the game mechanics) would this be useful as a (free) Unity package? I know there are better vegetation growing tools out there... RT if you'd be interested

working on upgrades like special tires to drive up steep slopes #gamedev #indiedev

without the right equipment, you will get stuck

kind of amazing how just a little bit of springiness on the Y-scale makes it look so close to a 'real' cable (thanks to Adrian K. for the tip!) (+ added button to reel in the winch)

using Pixel Unwrapper to quickly unwrap an object! Ready for pixel art in less than a minute!

some obstacles can't just be rammed..

It's just scaling and LookAt()-ing a single object! no sines, splines or multiple segments! (added some extra geometry here to show the bounds of that object)

objective indicator... too much? (won't always be visible, only on request)

quick climb

so many little things go into making a game feel good.. these inventory items snap into slots, but they are still partly bound to the cursor positions so you don't lose 'connection' with them while dragging them around
