The finale was well-executed, but suffered from weak pacing of the season and insufficiently developed plotlines. Antony Starr and Karl Urban gave a legendary performance and their showdown is the best part of the entire season which ultimately saved the series. #TheBoys

This looks appealing and doable. Fairly realistic proportions and human-looking face. I can do animations here with the mix of Frame by Frame & Bones Animations. More details in texture and stronger shading should help give it a more adult look If I decide to go for it. #gamedev #indiedev #art

Trying to lock in to an art style the project would use. The original intent was something Death Beckons style, but now I'm leaning more towards Adventure Time / Pinstripe. It can't look too childish, but also I'm quite limited in my drawing skills so still WIP. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #art

Done with platformer. It's not perfect, but polishing it now is a fool's errand as not all elements are yet in place to see the full picture. Interactions and Combat are next, then art and animations. Then I can start expanding on features and polish existing ones #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

While still graphically unpleasant, it actually so far is the best platformer system I have made. Its smooth, flexible and allows for a great amount of control. The game will be built a lot around movement so it's a must to get it right so it feels good for the player #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Screenshot for posterity, I guess. This is what my current project looks like. It adapts / will adapt many templates I have previously written. It looks very raw right now as you can see, but things are going to change rapidly in the next few months. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

News #2 is that I have found several potential publishers for my main PC project and therefore I had to bring my full attention back to it. I'm currently making some great progress there and will be posting some of it as I go. Might even stream some soon.

News #1 is that I've been developing top-down casual racing game. Project is frozen for now. I have the working prototype / GD ready and will resume development at a later date as I want to avoid the creative burnout.

Went radio silent, but I will try to be more active now. I don't know why I'm so episodic with my social activity, it's not that I needed a break. Sometimes I just feel like sharing and sometimes I feel like none of it matters 🤷‍♂️ I have some good news to share though now.

Take a sip #indiedev #gamedev #blender

Hourglass ⌛ #indiedev #gamedev #blender

100% Milk #indiedev #gamedev

Made a simple sword today and starting with the rigging. I'm learning Blender to make a simple stylized game in #UE5 and this is pretty much the level of detail I want the game to have. It will look cool and I'd make the best of my skill or lack thereof in Blender. #indiedev #gamedev

Some glass 🍸 This helped realize that materials are botched when moved from Blender to Unreal regardless of export method used, but that's alright as I can just make these directly in Unreal (and it's more convenient for reuse anyway) #indiedev #gamedev

Practicing modelling spikes. #indiedev #gamedev

Quite a view #indiedev #gamedev

Today I made the first 3D Model in my life 🍎 May have discovered my new passion. A lot to learn though as t's an incredibly nuanced field, but who knew it would be so fun?! #indiedev #gamedev

Up for some climbing? #indiedev #gamedev

Day 6 + Added an admin account system. This is mostly a test as in the future I'm planning to add authorization for all users. For now I'll just use this to post articles and test experimental features. #indiedev #web

Day 5 + Added Recaptcha v2 for Emails + Moved website to routing (SPA sorta), before that it was loading everything from scratch on every page and it just wasn't looking very good. + Optimized the code #indiedev #web

Day 4. Added Newsletter Subscription in the footer of the website. if you enter a valid email it will be added to the database. #indiedev #web #development

Day 3 working on Empyreans website. Created hero slider, description and news. Hero Slider supports freeze on hold / swiping and individual selecting of slides. I have only just set up News and only on the main page / sql. I am still to implement the actual page. #indiedev #web #development

Also I will create #bluesky for Empyreans as well unless I have in the past and lost it idk 'cause I have the feeling that I did. Anyways it would probably replace X account or Facebook. They're both kinda useless, but at least Facebook has Gameroom which I could publish on in the future.

Coding Empyreans site Lighthouse thinks we're cool 😎 Though it's pretty barren for now, but I did add the basic stuff like nav panel and footer. #ChatGPT has been of great help. I never really got into web programming until now so I learn as I go with it, but spare lots of time. #indiedev #web

Started working on updating Empyreans.net website. It will be a business card site mostly, explaining what Empyreans are, show catalogue of games, host game pages and various articles. *hmm...Do I need a separate Bluesky acc for Empyreans? 🤔 #indiedev
