Check out this new beta gameplay trailer for my #indiegame TANKETTES! I've been expanding the features and play modes! Sadly, I can't cram everything into a 59 second video! Try the demo on Steam! #indiegames #videogames #retrogaming #tank #animation #3dmodeling #blender3d #b3d #gamedev #indiedev
The only game when parrying ever felt good or reliable was Bloodborne because you aren’t REALLY parrying. You’re just shooting a monster in the face, which is a much snappier motion than the often-too-slow guarding animations of other games. Compensating for latency in button presses just isn’t fun.

So I made another #pokemon #fanart as a way to continue to familiarize myself with #watercolor. Getting there. Next thing I do with them will likely be something with more robust details, but I have gamedev work to do between now and then. Behold, Mega Houndstone! #2dart #traditionalart

Lance Cpl. “Lucky” Kuroda races to victory for the BLB in his supercharged “Fastback.” His opponent “Bomber” Erikksen was too slow! Despite being able to shoot backward, his rear armor didn’t hold! Lost his leg, fell over, and had an ammo explosion! #battletech #mechwarrior #tabletop #miniatures

I managed to get my last of 4 Blitz Mode maps working! The Shoal definitely needs a more work. I think it's too short. Also added a quest finder for objectives. You can also see the open tank version of ducking for cover in this vid. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d #madewithunity #blender3d

Long time since my last TANKETTES update! I've fixed lots of bugs. Also added a new defensive maneuver of ducking into the tank, cutting damage taken in half, greatly increasing longevity. Especially for light tanks! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d #blender3d #madewithunity

I don’t make nor post #Pokémon #fanart. But my coworkers and I were talking today about its original aesthetic. Then they asked me if I could pick 1 to get a mega evolution, which would it be? Never used #watercolor in my life but I think I did okay. I present, Mega Octillery! #2dart #traditionalart

I have a back-burner project where I’m making a #metroid themed #battletech scenario. The new plastic Jade Hawk makes a great Ridley. I added an armature wire + bead tail and an Elemental to the claw. Elementals = Metroids in the scenario. #miniatures #kitbash #mod #wip #tabletopgaming #mechwarrior

Kerensky have mercy, I’m scratch-building a wet navy battleship for #battletech. After using a jigsaw to cut a plank to size, I went hand-operated. I used a hobby saw to rough out the shape then sanded by hand. 2 hours and a bucket of sawdust later we have a ship shape! #tabletopgaming

I drilled some holes into the deck and inserted some short wooden dowels so that, in the end, the ship can be disassembled and reassembled with ease. Also the turrets are able to rotate! #battletech #scratchbuild #kitbash #tabletopgaming #miniatures

I like the blocky look of the Shockwave, but it feels more industrial to me. So I removed the RAC and added a missile pod from an Orion. I’ll use it as a modded industrial mech with Rocket Launchers and some tbd melee weapon. #battletech #miniatures #wip #kitbash #mod #mechwarrior #tabletopgaming

Oops! Sorry, @softkaiju.bsky.social, scope-creep got me again! This time I am much closer to a testable beta demo (he said, nearly a year later). 😅
I’m working on wrapping up the beta build of the game. I’ll send a copy to you with all the features that aren’t in the alpha demo for testing. Just need to finish 3 more maps and add a model viewer to the gallery. I’m hoping to be at that point by Frebruary.

That's more solid than I expected. Must be the Battletech minis. Heaven knows my original art and gamedev work goes unnoticed outside of a few repeat likers, who I appreciate deeply! Without the 5 of you I'd just be barking in the dark. So THANK YOU! bluefacts.app
