Hardcore reworking of the #procedural crater system. Craters are more complex than they seem.

#indiedev #gamedev

Planet Jayehtenor Minor, a Jupiter-colored, sub-Neptune sized gas planet hangs waxing behind a dark grey cratered moon. The moon's craters tell their age by the amount of erosion from the millennia.

It's all connected now. Space is officially "Very, Very Big".

A rough cockpit view with a sector map and some nearby stars plotted on it, a Star System Map with the sun as a yellow dot in the center, a Galaxy Map made of a rainbow of cubes, and above the cockpit is a view of a Jupiter-like gas giant labelled: "Outside"

Doing #procedural space at scale is kind of mind blowing
#indiedev #spacegame

far zoom showing a map of a sun and 3 gas giants zoomed to the next view of the inner system, 3 close terrestrial planets, a gas giant, a small planetoid and an outer terrestrial planet, zoomed to the next view of the 3 inner terrestrial planets tight orbits and a gas giant system map with many moons in another view

up close on a procedural planet's coastline with the rest of the star system visible in the sky far, far away

I went back to the drawing board for these gas giants...

7 gas giants with varying color combinations and swirling atmospheric bands

Adding procedurally generated gas giants to the mix

Putting new planet generation tech in Journey Space 2 #indiedev

An iron rich planet with blue oceans and partly cloudy skies hangs in space, seen through the viewscreen of a janky ship's cockpit. The screen resolution is low, but you can make out the planet, stars and an unknown ship ahead.

Coming soon to Steam... ALL YOUR MUFFINS

All Your Muffins -- 3 cool muffin hexes pop out of the board suggesting a match 3 puzzle game for 3 players. COMING 2025 it says, hey, that's this year..!

Tipping Goat @tippinggoat.bsky.social · May 6

I love it when the game crashes while the ship is exploding, this should be the default error capturing behavior

The janky ship explodes during a game crash. It's totally FUBAR as heck.

NO NPCs

Can LLMs drive "living", non-scripted characters in an emergent, story-driven RPG? Tipping Goat set out to learn the hard way... tippinggoat.itch.io/journey-spac... #IndieGame #AIGameDev #LLM #AICharacters #EmergentStorytelling #ProceduralNarrative #NarrativeDesign #ArtificialIntelligence

A screenshot of a sci-fi AI-driven narrative game featuring a GUI interface. The top text box displays Grub’s internal monologue about exhaustion, followed by a self-awareness revelation about how her fatigue is affecting her ability to engage in meaningful conversation. Below, a character speech box shows her asking, "Certain Death Nebula... gonna need special tools? Radiation shields?" The interface allows for rerolling AI-generated dialogue, adjusting models and temperature, and reviewing responses. On the right, a character portrait of Grub, a deck mechanic, is visible, along with a list of crew members including Jack Clapton, Chudwick Persopolis, Kathryn Van Lawyer, Bork, OTTO, Ricardo Nemesis, and Gus Gassy.

The one and only Super Slam Dunk Touchdown: Arcade Edition is at its new home at Arcade Monsters in San Diego <3 #indiegames #indiearcade

www.arcademonsters.com/san-diego

A row of plain and simple arcade games, one is quite elaborate and intimidating, but one, one right in the middle looks fascinating: Four players, all the sports, could this be the retro all-sports mashup Super Slam Dunk Touchdown: Arcade Edition? It can, and it is. Also, the carpet is really fun and has colorful stars all on it.

Tipping Goat @tippinggoat.bsky.social · Oct 25

Yo #indiegame fans: There's a sale at Madder Games, and #indiegames can be played #localmultiplayer #couchcoop using a computer's web browser and your phones as the game controllers. There's even free games to try out the brave new platform at www.maddergames.com

New Game Sale! Super Slam Dunk Touchdown: Madder Edition and Beak Blades have launched on Madder Games. There's the game cover for both the games: Super Slam Dunk Touchdown: Madder Edition has an American football player holding a basketball, while images of other sports float around him, haunting him -- a hockey player and a roller derby player threaten to collide in a personal war over an errant soccer ball while a lonesome baseball player pitches an American football into destiny. Beak Blades features a colorful idyllic scene of a field, a blue sky decorated with clouds, trees bursting with green leaves, and two angry, cartoonish 3D birds, engaging in mortal combat with a samurai sword in one's beak and the butt of a gun in the other's. It is not clear how the bird will pull the trigger, which makes it somehow all the more intimidating.

Most excellent.
