Decided to improve the VFX in my game, and as part of that I activated HDR in the Godot project. Note for future me: activate HDR earlier during development for the next game... The VFX look much much better, but all UI elements with transparency now need reworking... 😅 #godot #vfx #indiedev

My game Gravity Slugger is now on Steam! You are a singularity and gravity is your only weapon. Master orbital mechanics and unleash physics-based mayhem your way — blow &#39;em up, slice &#39;em through, or cut gravity entirely. Wishlist now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4516020/Gravity_Slugger/ #gamedev #indiegame #godot

When multiple people testing the game, independently of each other, comment on the same problems you know it&#39;s time to fix them... Loading screen with shader/material pre-compilation and mouse sensitivity setting implemented at last!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@oxybeargames/116704651413873378 First short-form video I ever made, showcasing the Mass Boost ability in my game! I had to restrain myself from making too many stupid jokes about &quot;size&quot; and &quot;balls&quot; when uploading the video 😂 I don&#39;t get how I failed to think of those jokes while editing it. In any case, if you think it looks cool, please help me out by wishlisting it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4516020/Gravity_Sl...

Me + trains = cursed today. On the way to a music rehearsal, I managed to miss three trains for three different reasons. Now on the way back, there&#39;s apparently an evacuation alarm at the station where I have to switch back to metro so the train I was on couldn&#39;t stop there.

When I played Gravity Slugger last week healing felt too weak, so I added two new upgrades: Armor (reduces damage taken) and Life Steal (heal on hitting enemy) Played again yesterday... apparently made them WAY too strong. Never survived that long before. Rebalancing time then, I guess 😅 #gamedev #indiegame

Being a solo dev with a background in mainly programming really makes me realize what parts of game development I&#39;m less good at. In my case: UI Hats off to all you UI/UX designers out there. Keep making cool stuff, and maybe I&#39;ll manage to learn some decent UI design one day as well! #indiedev

Happy 5th birthday, little Senjed! ♥️ He got to try cat ice cream for the first time, and got a new cat pillar after the old one was retired from very heavy use.
