🐿️ Meet the Squirrel! 🐿️ Excited to share my newest 3D character—an animated, fully integrated squirrel! Not just decoration—you can encounter it after completing a special quest.

Wobbling buttons—tiny yet mighty! These little details bring me so much joy. Using the tween() technique. 🪼

Quest System & Map Progress!
Hey everyone! I’m back! Working on quest system and game map here’s a sneak peek at how the quest/challenge selection screen could look.
Building a functional quest system has been quite a challenge for me, but it’s coming together!

Godot 4.4 is here with SpringBones! 🎉 Finally set up cape physics for my character—super easy and fun to work with! Check out the video to see the cape physics in action! 👇 #GameDev #SoloDev #GodotEngine #SpringBone

For this shader, it is very important to enable flag "Skip Vertex Transform"

✨ Check out this shader I made that distorts objects in the world! Inspired by @Pixezy. This past week, I've been refining it and started working on revamping the levels to reduce loading times before the game starts. Let me know what you think! #shader #Godotengine #IndieGames #GameDevelopment

🦴This is how my character looks in Blender. I love rigging characters and then animating them; it's a lot of fun!

Hey everyone! I think I've finished painting the texture for my new 3D character, 'Super Capibara'. Check out the final look! Now comes the fun part: rigging and animations! #GameDevelopment #IndieGames #3DModeling #GodotEngine #Blender #HandPaintedTextures #Krita

O! Nice, thanks 🙏

Started working on a new character, 'Super Capibara'! Sketched a simple concept, sculpted the base form, did the retopology, and began hand-painting the texture. Ran out of energy, so it's time to respawn tomorrow! 😴

Hey everyone! This weekend, I participated in the 48-hour Global Game Jam. Our team worked on creating a Tamagotchi-like game, but with 3D graphics and multiple adorable creatures. It was an intense and exciting experience!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share some concept sketches. Previously, I posted obstacle models, and these sketches helped me quickly model those objects.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll think about your suggestion.

Maigurs @maigurs.bsky.social · Jan 20

The plan is to create a visually appealing and simple runner game that people would enjoy opening up and playing from time to time. I don't intend to include complex mechanics. The goal is to make a maximally simple yet beautiful game for casual players.

Maigurs @maigurs.bsky.social · Jan 20

Thank you for your comment and suggestions! I appreciate your feedback. I will most likely implement a smooth transition for the character's lane changes and add some animations to make it less jarring.

Maigurs @maigurs.bsky.social · Jan 19

Yes, you are absolutely right. My friends had already pointed out this grammatical error, but I was too lazy to fix it :D In the future, I will replace that text with a finger icon and an animation indicating to touch the screen.

Maigurs @maigurs.bsky.social · Jan 19

Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to share an early look at the gameplay from my new endless runner game. Please remember, this is still in development, so your feedback and suggestions are incredibly valuable!
