Same Asset Pack, 4 Months of Figuring Out Lighting. Some lesson learned: 1. Find references. It is very hard to learn lighting from text. Find images you like and study them pixel by pixel. #godotengine #gamedev

"The books you read reveal a lot about you". That idea was pretty much the starting point for this game. You play as a bookstore clerk, fulfilling customer's order emails, and slowly uncover their secrets. devpoga.itch.io/books-for-ba... #indiegame #horrorgame #retro #godotengine
Sometimes your debug views looks cooler than the actual game scene... #gamedev #screenshotstaturday
The engine's debug view v.s. what the player actually see. Feels great to have a clean simulation engine that's decoupled from the views. Totally worth 3 months of hard work. devlog: scarlet.engineering/blog/making-... #gamedev #godotengine #godot
There's just not that many info on the internet about making simulation/strategy games. so here's my devlog. more parts to come. scarlet.engineering/blog/making-... #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

How does a simulation game actually work?

It feels amazing to have made a game myself that I actually want to keep playing while playtesting 🥹 #indiegame #godotengine #gamedev #screenshotsaturday
I had an idea about organizing books on a bookshelf but failed to make a fun prototype. This looks fun as hell store.steampowered.com/app/4197610/...

Godot went through the exact “sponsor is bad, so money is bad” discourse a few months ago, and… nothing of note changed — other than more people were paid to fix your bug reports and improve the engine for everyone. This page was created, too:

Against the Storm has been one of the most inspiring things I've come across in recent years. (The other one is the Steam Deck.) I used to think there were very few resources out there for this kind of management and strategy sim...

been stuck with this volumetric water shader for 2 weeks... The idea was to have a ISLANDERS or bad north style, minimalistic tower defense/strategy game. Kinda like how it looks but still somethings feels off... #gamedev #indiegame #godotengine
Finally recovering from last week's cough. Threw what little energy I had into experimenting with procedural generation. Plan to turn each one into a full game. Started with the basics: hex grids, Poisson disk sampling, ... etc. combined with existing asset packs. #gamedev #GodotEngine #IndieGame
Making it even more organic. like a life form breathing, exploring nearby environment #gamedev #godotengine
Finally got the shader where I wanted it after way too much struggling. That creeping, slightly organic, slightly unsettling water feel. #gamedev #GodotEngine
A #gamedev trick that once you see it. you see it everywhere: Hysteresis Whenever you need to convert analog into binary by introducing a certain threshold, it's a good idea to add a bit of hysteresis around that threshold en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hystere...
Hysteresis - Wikipedia
Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history. For example, a magnet may have more than one possible magnetic moment in a given magnetic field, depending on how the field…

My all time favorite coroutine trick: scripting encounters or cinematics sequences with it Waaaay easier to read and tweak compare to state machines for linear sequences. just be aware that we have no way to cancel a coroutine in godot currently #GodotEngine #gamedev
10k people played! not every incremental game need to have a skill tree and a prestige system devpoga.itch.io/murderhorn #GodotEngine #gamedev
almost 7000 plays! glad to know that people still enjoy games that just try to tell a sweet little story. 😍 devpoga.itch.io/murderhorn #godotengine #indiegames #gamedev

Logistic functions are great ways to create rhythmic sub-goals in the overall game progression. #gamedev
