Hey there friends! Unfortunately, I was among those impacted by layoffs at Heart Machine last week. If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Technical Artist, I'm available for full time, part time, or contract opportunities.

Doloc Town is a farming sim set in a post-apocalyptic world. "At the heart of the map lies Doloc Town, a sanctuary built from the remnants of trains and collapsed bridges. Connect with villagers and share a drink to uncover the hidden stories of this land."

I have to say, holding back from animating more, especially frames for the bots, is so hard. I know I could do it, and I know it would look great, but every other aspect of the game would crawl to a stop. Reminder to polish later if there's time. Don't go over scope. #indiedev #gamedev #BotHacker

Example of an attack that doesn't hit right away. Currently it's setup to take two turns, but it can also be set to deploy and land in a later turn independently. #gamemaker #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #BotHacker #pixelart #robots #postapocalypse #RPG #fakemon #turnbased #gamedev #retrogame

This tool doesn't directly modify the files themselves but will print a string of data in my intended format. It's technically not readable in this state, but the nested arrays keep the data block from being too massive (mostly for my own mental health), and the code unpacks it on load.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

I tried a low-resolution aesthetic with this pixel scene. If you have any suggestions or thoughts, I'm all ears! Happy to see any thoughts you post below! #IndieGames #IndieGame #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt

Testing status effects. I realized I had so many that in the unlikely chance they all were applied at once they'd overflow off the HP bar. What do you think? #indiegame #gamedev #BotHacker #robot #RPG #creaturecollector #1v1 #fakemon #monstertamer

I posted a devlog detailing some of the elements that make this game different than those in the same genre and about plans for the future. Have a read if you've got time. #indiegame #BotHacker #1v1 #turnbased #RPG #creaturecollector #monstertamer bothackergame.itch.io/bothacker/de...

I finished the battle screen background. This is going to be for the tech campus interiors. I'm not positive how many of these I'll need in the end, but probably one more for the underground and another for concrete floors. #pixelart #BotHacker #indiegame #rpg #battle #turn-based #gamemaker

Tenebrarium has a Steam page! It started as an experiment to see if I could make a simple colony simulator in a month, but after 2 months of weekly updates, people have been very keen for a full release. You can wishlist it right now! store.steampowered.com/app/4880410/... #gamedev #indiegame
