Really close to a big update to Gothic Steel - here is one of the new arena events that can happen during a run #gamedev #godotengine

this looks so gooood 😍

look what just came out of the oven 😊 #pixelart

A bit more #pixelart trying my hand at some flowers this time

Pushing myself with a hand study this morning #pixelart

I've spent about a week now practicing a couple life drawings a day using Pixquare #pixelart

I made a bunch of fun weather effects, although i'm pretty sure misty is my favourite #gamedev #godotengine

A quick breakdown of the stylised cloud shader for those interested ☁️#indiedev

thanks its been really fascinating, I had to learn a lot about performance in these kind of games (Vertex animation textures were all new to me and integral) and then really get used to playtesting 😊

Thanks! its survivor like, all weapons have 4 upgrade levels and when fully upgraded you get a relic that changes the weapon behaviour in some interesting way
You unlock new upgrades in runs and get some meta progression by leveling up your tank crew ✨

Really got to mess around with particle sub emitters for this - upgrade the missiles enough and start making missile typhoons ✨ #gamedev #godotengine

it should just behave like a raycast and only report the first collision, if its a simple projectile and should just hit one thing and delete itself you shouldn't have any problems there

I can fairly easily have a hundred or so going at once - try to keep their reported collision count as low as you can, detecting 32 collisions a frame is waay harder than say 4 if its small enough the player wouldn't notice, also disabling them by default and updating them manually helps 😊

I've yet to find a weapon that isn't made waay more fun by cranking all their variables up too high #gamedev #godotengine

right you are! I have seperate scenes for cannon shells and bullets, the cannon shells use shapecasts instead for exactly that ✨

The bullets are just raycasts with a mesh, and collision particles are stored in a small pool that get requested from a global VFX manager

The damage numbers also get spawned on a timer and all their information is saved and collated into a dictionary which was a big performance gain actually 😊

Godot keeps on surprising me with just how many bullets I can chuck into a scene at once 😅 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

Church spires in fog is such a vibe - one day I may finish tweaking this menu screen #gamedev #godotengine
