Knowing that SENTINEL 519 brought a player some joy during a difficult time is exactly why I enjoy this journey. They also offered some fantastic technical feedback!
This is what I love about the community, the passion to help indie games improve

Work is progressing on the prototypes! No reveals today as I'm deep in the "invisible work" phase (design, testing, repeat).
Here is a peek at the Unity view.💡

This video shows the iterative steps of development. I can't promise that everything shown today will appear, but showing the "maybe" pile is part of the journey!
Here is a progress video on the prototype, now lazily dubbed: "Project Cozy"

While the heavy lifting for the backend cooks in the background, I’m testing a new prototype closer to the surface.
This is a pivot from the intense action of my debut title (and the IS0L8T3D prototype).

I was meant to be working on new online features, but I got pulled away looking at tools. Honestly, I just love seeing what other developers and artists come up with.
Back to the code now... eventually. 🐻

It might just look like five buttons, but getting Auth running correctly via @unity.com Gaming Services is a massive invisible milestone.
A lot of learning behind the scenes this week, even if the screenshot isn't exactly cinematic. 🐻

I loved the "no ads, fully offline" philosophy of my first game, but for the new one, I want to keep that soul while layering in community features.

Spent the last few days adding "JUICE" to Project IS0L8T3D:
🔊 SFX on swings/hits
⚫️ B&W damage FX
🦸♂️ New character models
💨 Cape physics
Early days (and janky), but the "Game Feel" is coming together.
Here is to a prosperous 2026! 🐻🚀

It was a year of two halves: refining the old and discovering the new.
Phase 1: The Release 📲
Focused on supporting SENTINEL 519. The goal: launch on mobile & ship the "Sentinel Invaders" update. A massive lesson in persistence.

I tweaked the Post Processing Asset again, and I think this "Coloured Comic" look hits the sweet spot.
But I didn't just procrastinate! There's more about the video in the next post! 👇

I was meant to be working on the AI, but I got side-tracked testing a new Post Processing Effect Asset.
So, here is Project IS0L8T3D... as a Noir Comic Book? 🕵️♂️

You get a much clearer view of the logic markers around the player in this format.
Currently working on the next phase of the Enemy AI, so keep an eye out for that update, hopefully soon! 🐻

Originally, enemies followed the player directly. The result? They bunched up or formed a line.
To fix this, I added invisible "Markers" around the player. Enemies hunt for an open marker rather than the player's centre point.

I really like the direction this is taking. I can see the difference with every change and it has me a bit more excited about working on my next project with every iteration!

Added hit effects, camera shake, and launching enemies into a Ragdoll state.
Love this. Even though the models are placeholders, this is easily my favourite part of the prototyping phase! 🐻
