Clara Gale ✈️ NS 0.4.1 out now!@claradoth.bsky.social · 5d agoSomeone told me games need "unique selling points" or something, so screw it Fighter jet game where you send your squadron and supporting officers ice cream #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #NovaSquadron
Aaaaand back to #NovaSquadron UI. The main menu goes shwoop woop now. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I needed a break from UI stuff, so I let my hair down and, uh, completely remade #NovaSquadron 's missile VFX. The usual ~1 minute video wouldn't do this insanity justice, so here's 3 minutes of the INDF and CLE absolutely wrecking each other's navies. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Besties I'm gonna do so many silly things Giving me this much power was a mistake
Clara Gale ✈️ NS 0.4.1 out now!@claradoth.bsky.social · last mo.Okay, #NovaSquadron narrative tooling overhaul done. @crowwmonarch.bsky.social has vastly more power now, which I'm sure she will do nothing silly with at all. I'm taking a break from UI work for a sec, so expect some weird new VFX next weekend! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Shatter part 2. I need to fix a few things such as: Making sure chunks buildings are water tight. Better particles. Optimize it a bit more. Sound effects. Sometimes the whole building doesn't come down. But this won't be a common occurrence in regular gameplay, and it's kind of awesome.
shatter :) (super wip but im happy with this so i will only post it here)
its true i was the mollusc
Clara Gale ✈️ NS 0.4.1 out now!@claradoth.bsky.social · last mo.just in case the European heatwave claims me, let it be known that #NovaSquadron 's finale involves you blowing up a giant mollusc from the inside using the power of friendship while power metal blasts your eardrums #gamedev #indiedev
I'm still working on the #NovaSquadron narrative tooling overhaul, but that's not all I'm cooking. For your listening pleasure: the WIP new background music for Dogfight missions! For your viewing pleasure: me making extremely bad evasive decisions! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
@crowwmonarch.bsky.social asked for a tiny extra feature in #NovaSquadron 's narrative system, so, naturally, I am 70 files into refactoring the entire system, and have to scratch-build a new UI because Unity doesn't support the new format. Looks nice though! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Prototyping a cinematic camera. There's a lot to refine about it and I'm not happy with it yet. But it's also looking cool. I haven't been working much in aggressors however due to working on related things + planning on making a public version of my cockpit tool.
Oh hey I wrote that
Clara Gale ✈️ NS 0.4.1 out now!@claradoth.bsky.social · 2mo agoIntroducing #NovaSquadron 's new victory screen, where you can see: - how you did in the mission - where all your Credits came from - how confused you made AWACS Storm Chaser today #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Be certain, as is always the case with things such as this, that ANYTHING can be considered sexual and can end in a blanket account shadowban under this. It is easily weaponized it is determined by an AI moderation system. There is no accountability or recourse. you probly can't read this.
Happy Pride Month! Most of #NovaSquadron 's roster is already openly gay/bi/ace/lesbian, but we do have something for you: The Valkyrie strike fighter has come out as gay. ...We have a team of mechanics working round the clock to try and figure out what that actually means. #gamedev #indiedev
No, this isn't a late April Fools' joke, we're actually adding "the ground" to #NovaSquadron! Introducing the secret fifth region, the Crystal Highlands, where freezing temperatures condense rare minerals in the clouds into huge pillars. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
haven't had much time to actually sit down to work on aggressors but here's an aircraft model WIP. plane that makes really loud fart like sounds out of it's gun and people think it's cool for that.
So the CLE has nailed a bunch of gaudy yellow SAM facilities to the Pillars, and I've told them to shoot at anything that moves. I forgot to tell them to stop. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #NovaSquadron
Clara Gale ✈️ NS 0.4.1 out now!@claradoth.bsky.social · 3mo agoI might have taken the description of the Pillars of Origin a bit TOO literally. …Tune in tomorrow for the horrors. #gamedev #indiedev

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.
Ro Salarian@rosalarian.bsky.social · 3mo agoKickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.
This week is the sixth anniversary of #NovaSquadron starting development (never say something will take "maybe a year"!), and it's crazy to look back and see how much the game's visuals have improved over the years. I will not be stopping. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Glamour shots! #gamedev #indiedev #gameart
Clara Gale ✈️ NS 0.4.1 out now!@claradoth.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe prototype Pillars seemed to work, so I've started experimentally texturing them. Yes, environment texturing. In #NovaSquadron. I've never done this before in my life... ...but what if I did #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Welcome to (the early prototype sketch of) the Pillars of Origin, a region named after, well, the gigantic pillars everywhere. These were the first colonies floated into Jupiter's atmosphere back in the 22nd century, and they're still used today! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
Did more to the map generation, added huge fields of trees, although I need fix the shader a bit as they vanish when I turn the camera. But at the same time, it looks really good as is! I might also to make the altitude warning optional as its annoying me lol
The trailer for @yoyoyollie.bsky.social's DELIVERY MUST COMPLETE is finally out, and it came with an official release of Jose Pavli's fantastic main theme. So, naturally, I had to do something with it. Presenting DLMC's main leitmotif, butchered in the style of NS's menu music. #gamemusic #vgm
Alright, back to our scheduled tour of #NovaSquadron 's Jupiter! Welcome to the Regio Obscurus, an area around the north pole permanently shrouded in a blue aurora. It'd be beautiful if only it didn't mess with your plane's sensors. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
