Game Development is often tough decisions and intense work to nail solid mechanics.
However from concept to finish our planetary ring gravity for The Broken Beyond came about in a day-ish, visualised here with a vector field. Dev Post here:

It's a lot of work trying to get all the details down for #Besiege: The Broken Beyond. So rarely have time to post. But we had to try to replicate the lunar flyby #NASA just performed in game, with a translunar injection burn and all. Thanks @freya.bsky.social for the beautiful atmosphere #GameDev

Man, I've been radio silent here for a while, because the last year I've been working on #Besiege The Broken Beyond, our new expansion taking off into space. It's been a crazy intense journey. Now I know we can do it here is the teaser: youtu.be/Re3TKkQGBPY #IndieGame #GameDev

I haven't been posting recently here, not for the lack of wanting to post. Working hard on something and when I can share I will post some cool vids and gifs.

In the meantime our friend Dagriefaa helped us push out this QoL update.

Here's the #Besiege: The Splintered Sea trailer I made with @corfiz.com

Maybe it's just my process, but I don't think we as devs talk about how time consuming and hard well-made trailers can be to make. I worked on this trailer across an entire month, after James already had done so much. #GameDev

I don't know what is scarier, how many hours I've accumulated during #GameDev, or how actual players have matched my play time.

While testing the physics of our water buoyancy system in #Besiege I built this 'nope'. Had to make sure swimming mechanics worked. #GameDev

Last update of the year done, but hard at work on the 10 year anniversary update for #Besiege. #GameDev

#Besiege has been out for a while. This means the engine is pretty outdated - like 2016 outdated. This update I finally figured out a performant way to display the stress/load of the physics on complex mechanisms.

Something that was more involved due to lacking engine features. #GameDev #IndieDev

Here's a rudimentary breakdown of how I did the underwater explosions in #Besiege: The Splintered Sea. We reused our regular volumetric explosion and I changed the unheated pixels to clip into brighter steam. #GameDev

Thank gawd for the Slow Mo Guys for providing a good reference.

Have to post this here, our 3D artist Alex made this awesome render for #Besiege: The Splintered Sea a couple of months ago. I just like an unorganized worktable. #GameDev

One of the game art capsules we use on #Besiege I made by just throwing a couple posed characters into the game itself and capturing with the in-game camera.

So here's a free cam move around the scene. #GameDev

Probably a bit late but here is my #DevDesk. #GameDev

As somebody who grew up on physical game releases, it feels really cool seeing our own game #Besiege coming in physical copies in December, even if it's only in Japan. #GameDev
