Doing some texture optimization and improvements, reducing the amount significantly whilst increasing detail, gotta love my atlas tex trick :P #indiedev #gamedev #rtsgame #fpsgame #space #scifi

I love Star Trek: Armada, always been my "comfort food". So... of course I've been making a randomizer for it lol Will release it sometime next month as a donationware download. #startrek #rtsgame #randomizer

LMAO, it's true though. Calling it 'cuck coding' from now on. #fuckai #vibecoding

Updated the gun model for Sole Defender #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Me trying to make games like... #helpiwantmymommy

This almost killed me LMAO Cities Skylines is a riot. #gaming #citiesskylines #funny

"put a ring on that thing" they said OKAY lol #gamedev #blender

I... What?! Thought I accidentally stumbled upon a parody site, but no... This is really the pitch on their actual website for the new Epic Games Launcher... I have no words. Only loathing. Glad I deleted my account a while ago. #epic #epicgameslauncher #is #vibecoded

That's a gnarly looking capital ship. Now to defeat it... #indiegame #rtsgame #fpsgame #spacegame #newgames #godot

Did you know I also have a model steam & Lego builds channel: www.youtube.com/@brassandbri... I updated it today, so may as well share :) #modelsteam #lego #youtube #wilesco

Brass and Bricks

Steam engines, Lego (solenoid) engines, strange contraptions and odd experiments, you can find it all here. Suggestions and conversation is highly welcomed on this channel, as long as it is civil.

Working on capital ship interior, you can now board it and fight your way through the pirate crew to the reactor core :) #indiegame #gamedev #fpsgame #rtsgame

Worked on the station a lot the past few days. Updated the texture atlas a lot and it looks so much better now. All this is just 2 4k textures btw. Using an atlas was a gamble but it paid off :) #indiegame #gamedev #godot #space #rtsgame #fpsgame #modeling #3D

Me station's on fire eh I also devised a way to have realtime damage without decals: instead I'm using GPU texture painting so I can use said texture to show damage in the mesh's shader itself. Much more performant and you can have endless bullet holes :) #indiegame #godot #gamedev #itshot

In case you're wondering about my Twitch account: I deleted it. They went too far with the auto opt-in AI, using your content to train it, and I'm too tired for this crap. #twitch #ai #screwthisimout

WIP station systems (oxygen, factory, generator, console) #godot #indiegame #spacegame #rtsgame #fpsgame

WIP generator system, downstairs. I probably should calm down a little with all the detail hehe Gonna look fantastic once textured though! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #spacegame #rtsgame #fpsgame

Still slaving away at the station interior. About 70% done, all of which is finishing details, UV maps and textures. can't wait to show it off in full :) #indiegame #3dmodeling #blender #gamedev

Making good progress :) #indiegame #rtsgame #fpsgame

WIP of the main menu. Showing the moon, station and two drones. Doing a lot of perspective trickery here, the moon is actually the same size as the station, but super close to the camera :P #indiegame #godot #rtsgame #fpsgame #newgames #WIP #gamedev

Adding icons that appear when a ship is far away from the camera. Makes it so much easier to see what's going on. I also added box selection finally, very much needed :) Game's getting fun now! #indiegame #gamedev #godot #rtsgame #fpsgame #newgames

Some progress on the Defense Drone. It is equipped with two high power lasers that heat up the target until it goes boom. It's designed to take out fast moving targets like fighters and torpedoes. #indiegame #rtsgame #godot #spacegame #newgames

Figuring out the particle effects for thrusters and explosions. Getting there! Gotta ponder on the damage effects too, really want to show every hit and hole you know? #indiegame #rtsgame #newgames #spacegame #godot

Frigates will be able to send a boarding craft, that'll penetrate the hull of your station. You then have to fight off the pirates yourself. #indiegame #gamedev #rtsgame #fpsgame #newgame #godot

Added a grid and cursor for better spatial navigation. Units can be moved around too now. And they can be build too. RTS part of the game is almost a game :P Gotta finish up the FPS part soon, once the boarding parties are ready. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #rtsgame #fpsgame #newgames

Figuring out the RTS mode UI, think it's getting there? #indiegame #godot #gamedev #rtsgame #fpsgame #newgames

PEW! BOOM! Yay :3

When you make a typo whilst programming and it feels like your spirit animal. #meme #gamedev #funny

Made a short video of new game prototype: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bje... Defend your space station from enemy ships & boarding parties in an FPS + RTS hybrid game. #indiegame #godot #rtsgame #fpsgame #concept
