Currently implementing the POI system for #TinyDreamWorld procedurally generated Dreamscapes. 🌸

The game designer will be able to create "chunks" in an editor and they will be randomly placed by the generation algorithm.

Slowly getting back to working on #TinyDreamWorld since my schedule is finally starting to lighten up a bit. Back to procedural generation shenanigans! ✨

Also finally made the move to Linux Mint, at least on my work laptop for now.

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚
Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩

Getting the full #freelance experience (not the good kind) on my first contract job with a client. Unrealistic expectations, scope creep, ghosting mid-project and now trying to avoid payment. 😅

Forced myself to take the weekend off gamedev/unity to go on a mini-vacation and just realized how absolutely exhausted I am 🫠 Can't wait for june to be finally over

Elias | PIXCL Studio @pixclstudio.bsky.social · Jun 20

it's a pretty great feeling 😄 good luck!

The initial setup was a bit annoying (had to disable secure boot in bios) but afterwards it worked like a charm for me on linux mint

Elias | PIXCL Studio @pixclstudio.bsky.social · Jun 7

Very sorry for the recent inactivity! I will finally have some time for my own games in July again! 🥳

Reaaally want to get back to #TinyDreamWorld but I'm absolutely swamped with other game projects
(that I can't even post about 😅) currently.

But this is a good sign for my future #indiedev plans!

Very relatable 😅 I feel like all my game ideas are heavily influenced by the last battle theme ost playlist that i had playing on loop

Elias | PIXCL Studio @pixclstudio.bsky.social · Jun 3

some gachas kinda feel like singleplayer mmos

Elias | PIXCL Studio @pixclstudio.bsky.social · May 28

I think it's alright, if you want more juiciness you could try playing around with scaling the character? I could imagine a "blob-like" squish in the direction of the dash would look cool

Fulltime #indiedev transition is going well but it's going to be a hectic month. Currently juggling between wrapping up my day job, client work and a bunch of paperwork 😅 #TinyDreamWorld development will continue when things have settled down a bit, bear with me. 🙏

I use a self-hosted local gitea server with an issue tracker, it's basically a lightweight gitlab that can run on a micro-computer with linux

Progress on procedurally generated levels in #TinyDreamWorld 🎄✨

It's definitely not perfect yet and the parameters will need to be tweaked to result in actually fun levels but it's good enough to start building the "content placement" part next. 😊

Implemented a simple Binary Space Algorithm to block out the island sections of a #TinyDreamWorld level. The actual island shapes will either be hand-authored chunks or generated via a "random walk algorithm".

Also pretty satisfying to watch it go. 😄

It's quite a rabbit hole 😄 Was planning to try out a BSP algorithm next

I'd go with left if the coins can have variable distances from the ground.

Elias | PIXCL Studio @pixclstudio.bsky.social · Apr 26

Ah I see, would be curious if it actually does run with it. 👀
Don't really own a mac myself.

Elias | PIXCL Studio @pixclstudio.bsky.social · Apr 26

Oh wow, thanks! 😄 I assume linux is the OS of your choice?
