Ran into some niche issues with our previous method of nested physics, so I spent today setting up Physics scenes for each structure. Now you can carefully arrange items and be sure they won't move even when the submarine is going incredibly fast. #indiedev #gamedev

Better clean this place up before the captain gets back! 🧽 Was recovering from some dental work today, so I took a break from core systems to add a dirt/cleaning system in! #indiedev #gamedev

Still need to work on some of the visuals (and my aim) but with all the new enemies we've been working on, it felt like a good time to start implementing controllable turrets for our submarine! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Got physics based actors set up! It's very fun to bully the drones. Also got really basic damage and actor death working too. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Added a really basic drone today. It's very fun to fly around as it. Definitely going to need to include hacking/piloting drones as a gameplay mechanic later. #gamedev #indiedev

Now with more fish! 🐟 This week's work has been more pathfinding prototyping, as well as setting up context steering and learning behavior trees more in depth. It's awesome when you start to see NPCs move around and act in the world you've been working on. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Fish! It's really terrifying at the moment with how fast it moves, and its bite has way too much knockback force. But it's very exciting to see all of the systems work come together!!! Also it's very fun to play as a fish. 🐟 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Now "empty" actors just collapse on to the floor, so it's easy to tell when a body has no NPC or Player controlling it. It's also funny to watch people collapse when they disconnect from the server. #indiedev #gamedev

Freaky friday on a #screenshotsaturday?!? Just finished a big refactor that unifies all 'Actors' in the game so players and NPCs function in the same way. Best way to test that is a gun that swaps bodies, of course! Works in multiplayer and on Player <-> NPC #indiedev #gamedev

Updates on our path finding prototyping 🎉 We slapped a human model on our roomba and added some smart pathing to press buttons in order to open doors between it and its objective. Now we're starting to get a good idea of how NPCs will move around in our game! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Some quick vfx goes a long way! Now welding has some nice emissive feedback with a particle burst when it's done welding a point. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm one of those sickos that thinks more games should have cleaning systems. Spent today moving decals over to a basic octree storage system so it's quick to query them for cleanup gameplay. #gamedev #indiedev

Make sure to clean up after yourself!!! 🧹 With all the systems work I've been doing, the welder took only a couple of hours today to get the model, animation, and logic made and working in game. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Finally starting to look into path finding! We're only just getting started with the foundation, but in the meantime you can watch as I get chased down by this roomba while testing out this week's work. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

This week's focus was melee weapons! Got a nice workflow for tying active frames to animations per weapon, and being able to raycast along the arc to get accurate hit locations! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

It's #screenshotsaturday time! This week's focus has been on integrating our prototype for our wiring/logic system into the game. The idea is that Engineering roles on your submarine can create circuits to control all kinds of machinery on your ship! #indiedev #gamedev

Guns! Lots of work on getting impact effects and decals set up this week. Couldn't stop myself from adding hitstop as well. 😌 I think it will really help when I'm getting melee weapons to feel good. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Hey all! I wanted to share my side of development as I work with @sharkscoops.bsky.social on Hadostruct. This week, I've been focusing on moving furniture and precision placing items, so you can decorate your submarine during downtime in between missions! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev
