Here's a short little summary of what I've added to my puzzle project over the past month. A lot of cool stuff spanning from scrubbing through cached Chaos simulations to carving out caves with dynamic meshes.

Thank you for watching! 🍻

A while ago I made a pixel font, Pixuf. The goal was to make it as tiny as I could while keeping it readable. Used it in two of my games.

It's fully free (CC0), made for 8, 16, etc sizes, upper and lowercase ASCII.

Hope it's useful to someone!

Been trying to implement some more reactive elements lately.
Here's a little prototype for responsive fireflies, avoiding the player. Feels quite nice to interact with and adds a lot of life to the world.

Started doing a few simple props and exporting them from MagicaVoxel to Unreal. Here's a cable made with Niagara that fills the length with small cubes and sways a bit in the air. 🧊

On a rainy #screenshotsaturday - I told y'all I'd be studying @foffe.bsky.social 's awesome gameplay gym for ideas and improve my own! So many things needed adjusting as I added this simple mechanic!

Okay, just to clear out my DMs I've not responded to, let's add people to a solo dev starter pack again.

Here is pack number 5: go.bsky.app/SBG6VaU

There are 4 other ones on my profile. Comment to ask to be added, please check if you're in one of the others first.

A look inside my gameplay gym!

Carrying a Keystone with the attribute Preserve calms down to unstable environment, the planet doesn't really want you there - but having a little part of it with you helps.

Good progress made for the Keystone switching. 🙂

I have Cocoon (one of my all time favourites) as benchmark for the functionality. Trying to keep it as simple and intuitive as possible, with a limited control scheme to make it more accessible.

Back from a little break! ☕

Held objects now follow the motion of the voxel characters proc anims. Giving it all a little bit more life. A big commit, but happy where it is going!

I absolutely love The Murderbot Diaries, they have been a huge inspiration for my game projects. Highly recommend the books!

A little look behind the scenes.

Spent a lot of time and effort making the carried object collision feel smooth together with the character movement and preventing it from clipping into geometry.
Happy with the result!

Drillbird is now out! 🥳🥳🥳
You can play it here, for free: mnniska.itch.io/drillbird

Drillbird is a digging platformer about a tiny bird with a drill as its beak who’s trying to get their egg to hatch. I think it’s pretty neat!
