The #Kickstarter is LIVE for Fat Goblins!

Fat Goblins is a game inspired by Fat Princess which is a gave I loved as a kid, and it's made entirely from scratch!

If you've been following along, please consider backing the game! Your support helps a lot!

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Finally got around to adding BURNING into fat goblins! 🔥

You can light your arrows on fire with torches. Considering allowing the fire to spread between people and bodies... But I feel like it will explode out of control...

I said I was done with the "wah wah wah" player muting filter... And I am.

But on the last day I gave myself to improve it I stayed up until 5 am and improved it A LOT.

Final video for the "wah wah wah" peanuts filter! 🔊

Peanuts style Voice Chat "muting" in my game #FatGoblins! Really simple trombone + envelope smoothing + pitch modulation + formant shaping.

Much more satisfying than just muting someone!

Simple stencil buffer pre-pass for seeing behind stuff in #FatGoblins! Ended up looking pretty good!

Someone else's suggestion was picking up one person at random with its mouth, shaking them around, and just killing them / throwing them. It seems like honestly a hilarious and great idea!

BOTS ARE WORKING, and not that stupid! 🤖

3 weeks of client server merging -> custom navmesh -> custom path finding -> bot heuristic intelligence -> combat heuristics....

Bots fully play the game. Feels good... #gamedev #indiegame

Yup, there's input latency. Which is to my local computer so about 1 millisecond. But this is also strictly meant for testing the completeness of the server gameplay code by moving a character around on the server, so it's not a concern.

This might not look like much, but what's happening is a really clever way to test your server side game consistency.

I'm sending ONLY my inputs to the server, which applies my inputs to a server-side bot. Nothing else.

You're controlling a bot, and lots of weird things start happening. #gamedev

And so the nav mesh from scratch project begins... #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Today I removed the concept of "client goblin" from my game to prep for bots.

That's literally all I did the entire day.

Peak game development. #gamedev

I started adding interface sounds to my game. Had an idea to use the game instrumentation to create the sounds.

So then it evolved into, "I can probably do actual music theory stuff with this..."

Still a WIP but it's not that bad. #gamedev #sounddesign

WIP but dragon abilities are mostly done! You can accidentally trick it into falling off the arena...

But it's starting to barely feel more like a boss fight. Will be a lot more fun with 32 players. #gamedev
