For #screenshotsaturday I wanted to show off a little polish progress I have made on my #platformer. I have been playing around with particles and very basic vector graphics. Nothing is finalized, but I am really liking the simple look I am getting. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #unity

#screenshotsaturday I now have a complete game loop for my 2.5D #platformer. I am just a main menu and pause menu away from feature complete for my prototype. Next up is figuring out some art and whiteboxing lots of levels!

#screenshotsaturday I am wrapping up the first round of prototypes for obstacles in my 2.5D #platformer. One of my favorite, both to create and play, is the homing missile. I stream on #twitch Sun - Fri 10am - 12pm CST.

What's a #platformer without buttons and levers? These obstacles really add to the ability to create fun puzzles. They can be permanent or deactivate after a certain duration.

#screenshotsaturday I am making a skill based 2.5D platformer where speed and precision are king. I am currently prototyping obstacles the player will face. Here is a full suite of sawblades.

I think proximity mines were a good addition to my 2.5D platformer. They encourage both speed and caution. Get too close for too long and they go off, firing deadly spikes in all directions!

Sometimes the ground isn't safe. Watch out for Saw Blades hidden in the floor. I am having a lot of fun adding all of the obstacles I can think of to my 2.5D Platformer.
What are some of your favorite obstacles you have faced in a platformer?

Water has a place in every game, so I added some to my 2.5D platformer. This obstacle is super fun and requires you to change the way you think about moving. I go live on #twitch at 10am CST with more #gamedev, come hang out.

Getting excited to start designing some challenging puzzles as I get more obstacles completed. Added in keys and doors as well as lasers! I stream on #twitch Sun - Fri from 10am - 12pm, come hang out while I work on more obstacles. #gamedev #indiedev

Added connected teleporters into my 2.5D #platformer. Now you can hop between locations with ease, but beware what is on the other side. Come hang out on #twitch while I stream more #gamedev.

For #screenshotsaturday I wanted to show a simple, but useful tool I made for my new 2.5D platformer. It measures the distance between objects, giving me a precise scale and position for setting up objects. Tools like this help so much with #leveldesign.

Careful of the spikes! Working on death for the player in my 2.5D Platformer. Got in some spikes, going to be building some tools for #leveldesign live on my #twitch stream. #gamedev #indiedev

Removed Cinemachine! It is now a completely custom system. It functions the same, but is more designed for my needs without the extra overhead that comes with Cinemachine.

Setup a camera follow for my 2.5D platformer. The camera is bound by the level boundary and smoothly follows with a slight damping. I stream my work on this project over on #twitch (Sun - Fri 10am - 12pm CST). Come hang out while I work! #gamedev #indiedev #unity

For #screenshotsaturday I wanted to show off some updates to the 2000s screen saver and the camera point of interest system for interacting with different locations. Everything was modeled in #blender and implemented in #unity. #gamedev #indiedev #retro #cozy
Sooooooo close to hitting the corner!

Reading is cool, so I created a dynamic book system that creates a book with random dimensions while maintaining the model's details (think 9-slice sprites). The book is then added to a shelf and alphabetized. Modeled in #blender and implemented with #unity. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Chess set made in #blender and setup in #unity. This one was fun, tried to stay really consistent in all the pieces. I went a little far and recreated an actual match. A long time ago, I carved a chess set out of wood and now I modeled one! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I did some 3d modeling in #blender for #BrackeysGameJam and had a lot of fun. Not something I do often and want to get better. So I spent time today modeling and texturing (for the first time) a book. I really like the way it turned out. Going for a hardline low poly look! #gamedev #indiedev

Gathering Resources is the biggest mechanic in my strategy game. Once a Collector has gathered a resource, they can only gather the same resource type until they have emptied their current supply. Gathering time, amount, capacity and range are all upgradeable stats. #gamedev #indiedev
