So... we're making a 3D game - Rootbound - based on Many Winter's Briar. A dark fantasy horror/romance walking simulator / visual novel hybrid.

Here is Briar, the mysterious fae-like person you'll be encountering in the woods. #indiedev #gamedev #madeinunreal

🍵 Script 22 — The Game Dev’s Brew: The Brew of Creation
Handcrafted art — good or bad — used to carry a certain weight.

🍵The Game Dev’s Brew: The Bitter Aftertaste
People keep saying “AI”
when they really mean generative AI —
as if the whole kettle were the same blend.

🍵The Game Dev’s Brew: The Handcrafted Stranger
People ask why I didn’t just prompt The Wordy Hatter into existence.
Why hand craft a persona when a model can be conjured in an instant?

The first mission of #HEARTRENDER starts inside an abandoned, partially flooded slipstation near a magical library. No one knows why places like these just... show up inside the Null, sometimes. But they do.

Since we previously made a little makeshift mine area, I've been poking at this little forest zone. 3D and topography is hard, but we're slowly learning😅 good enough for now!

🍵The Game Dev’s Brew: The Artificial Sweetener
The ease of prompting reminds me of those artificial sweeteners
they once marketed as the “healthy alternative.”

sincerely devious things are afoot in #HEARTRENDER,
the surrealist immersive sim about becoming something monstrously beautiful

i may or may not be flirting with crpg-level mechanical pedantry at this point

🔊Each day brings a new, endless onslaught.
The shield will regenerate itself, as long as you have VIBES.

How long can you weather the storm?

There is of course, still the night time part of the loop -but this project has been so much fun ;_;

Not an artist, so colours and lighting are hard, but slowly getting a sense of this little Tower Defense world I've been poking at. Getting dangerously close to having an actual gameplay loop :)

Protect your VIBES!

It's a little buggy still, but working on this little interact system has been pretty fun :)

- Multiple ingredients can be hovered, only 1 can be focused
- Attempt to retarget to closest when there are multiple
- Ambulate to interact point
- YEET

Trying to get back onto the Unreal train, so I've been digging into the Gameplay Ability System a bit. In some ways it feels like a lot of overkill, but it's pretty powerful

Simple 6 second DoT that applies a burning Gameplay Cue, effect spreads & refreshes on contact
