Focusing on the hostiles. Helicopters are next - then the studio is focusing on completing the new Demo v3.03 - the level is a bit shorter and much more action packed. 👽 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #space #earth

The new enemy spawning now works continuously when the camera stops and starts moving. Plus the dog-fights are improving - thrust boosts and better intercept evaluation. 🛩️🚀🛸 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #space

188 KB of the game. No textures, no meshes, no sprites, no samples, no assets at all except for the voice-over audio which is +2.8 MB. An experience that is short but complete in every aspect, looking, feeling, and sounding pretty decent, can be condensed in under 3MB. #gamedev #indiedev #horror

Phew, just finished my little horror ASCII game! It's a short story about exploring the depths of the Southern Ocean in a submarine. You can play it here (it's free): haldane4.denisbondare.com #gamedev #horror #ascii #indiedev #solodev #retrogaming

Trying the new mechanics on a moving sector. They work! Fun, dynamic, reactive... now it is time to work on the details: dog-fighting, intercept behavior and better player abilities. 🚀 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #space

Experimenting with some ideas for level geometry. I went in thinking "wizard junkyard" but I'm definitely leaning more towards "psychedelic swamp" now. #indiegame #solodev #gamedev

Just got my first ever youtube let's play of my game! Someone found the game on reddit, played it 4(!) times to find all the endings, gave me a lot of great feedback, and even made a whole 30min video. This is so cool! youtu.be/1PFEuSDaT_Y #gamedev #horror #retrogaming

The mechanics have been overhauled in favor of better gameplay and balance. All the extra movements and turns from the pathfinding made for too much noise. The reduction means clearer gameplay and better performance! 👾⚖️🧑‍🔧 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #scifi

The balancing requires more clarity! So here are some very clear flight path mechanics - more focus on dog-fights, special abilities and of course large ships! Time to take a step back and redo the whole balancing process. 🏗️ #ufo #uap #indiedev #gaming #gamedev #shmup #scifi

The readability of enemy flight paths has been improved again. A8-Phantom squadrons can be evaded like the missiles - unless they are on your heels! 🛩️🛸 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #space #earth

Further improvement of the flight path and swarm readability. Basic missiles can now be evaded with a quick and easy perpendicular move. 🚀🛸 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #space #earth

“The giants don’t move. They don’t cook. They just sit there, watching the pan… and me.” NULLLINE is a dystopian point-and-click horror adventure game. Follow and like for more updates. #pixelartgame #pointandclick #indiegame #adventuregame #pixelart

I love game dev because it is here, in this place, that programming ideas can be seen, for example, the shape is a 3D object, to take position the particle looks for collisions in the center #UnrealEngine #gamedev

Getting into the details of the balancing. The mechanics are resembling a classical SHMUP more. A fragile player evading danger and repositioning to the best offensive position. 🛸 #ufo #uap #alien #indiedev #pcgaming #gaming #gamedev #roguelike #shmup #action #scifi #earth

I promised to show you a way I came up with to make glowing text in the UI, a very simple Unreal Engine material imitation, because there is no glow in the widget. I used SpiralBlur - Texture node ;) #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt7d...

I experimented a lot in Unreal Engine and finally made a very simple material of glow text. Imitation, because there is no glow in the UI. Like / repost if you want to see the code, I'll show it here and my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@alienmax-re... #UnrealEngine #UE5 #gamedev #indiedev
