Getting there! 13FPS and most of the hold up is in the enemies _physics_process, so I no where to start trying to optimize, but its at least not as choppy as it used to be.

Everything Multiplayer is 1 step up, 1 pit down. This time my dynamically spawned rigid bodies transforms dont sync. They just show up at 0,0,0 on the client side. I see a spawn error on client side, but wtf I can see it's spawned, it's just not syncing, what gives?

We added a bouncy material to our tank game... this is at max bounce, which is probably too much, but the tank is ALOT more fun to drive around enclosed areas in now. Much harder to get stuck on geometry!

The carnage after this boss fight is nearly exactly where I want it to be! Uncovered alot of things that need changing and fixing though, so many hydra heads left to kill.

Okay... so the turret refractor isn't going as smoothly as I thought it might.

Experimenting with how to show the health on these 'Gigarthropods', so trying for some 'nuclear' rods shoved into them that change colors as they are shot.

Our new game, Steel Insecticide, is all about Tanks Vs Bugs! But you also get to destroy other things too, like trees!

Progress on the production ready models! This new charger bug is a touch more intimidating then his black and purple forbearer (seen at the end).

The map is 'the same' but man do the new doodads and VFX make a difference!

Where it started vs how its going!
Team is working on art upgrades for our 'MVB' map, first version vs second version!
Both are running on my potato machine, which is our 'minimum' aimed for requirements.

Work shopping names and logos for the game formerly known as Tanks vs Bugs. Anyone got thoughts or critiques on any of these?

Really happy with how the mortar launcher is progressing. Its the first weapon I feel really gels with our games camera swapping ability.
Really nice when all these systems come together.

"Okay so we need to open these crates carefully... maybe we can buy a key from someone..."
"F*** KEYS! I HAVE A TANK!!!!!!"
Still early in the process, but you shoot all your other problems, why not these too.

Early prototype of the tank customization screen! Alot of polish yet to go.
Finding parts and unlocking stuff is just fun, so we wanna make sure we have a lot of them to play around with!

More enemy work... didn't expect this while I was recording though.
Some say he's still flying to this day.

While none of the shown models will be in the final game, I will say I enjoyed animating the tail in #blender! The auto key animations are just fun to use.
This one shows the deflection of the main cannon. Best calm down and aim right!

Working on more monster mechanics in #tanksvsbugs and boy is it alot of fun! Finally think I got the hang of #limboai and things are becoming more interesting. This latest one is our 'striker' mob who will have shields and a devastating melee strike.

Trapped in a tin can being tossed around by giant mutant spiders is a bit more scary than this silly game probably intended. Pretty great though!

Hoorah! Back at it and its going well! We've finished the 'eradicate' and 'seek and destroy' missions, now we're working on the more esoteric ones! In scouting missions, you gotta find and touch the flags, by any means you can!
