Managed to get the ascii transition effect to work between levels. Could be tweaked further, but fairly happy with it for now... #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

A wip of a smart material shader that I have been working on in Godot4. The beauty of doing it this way is that each instance has a unique result even though they all use the same material. Only using 2 texture lookups for the whole material! #godotengine #b3d #gamedev #indiedev

A new data swarm mechanic I have been playing with. Upon destroying enemies or targets these are released and can be absorbed for health. These are made with godot's "multimesh". Each cloud is a single draw call #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #RetroGaming

I needed some text spritesheets for my game's particle systems and couldn't find an easy way to do it, so I created a basic setup in good old #geometrynodes to do the job! #Battletronik is being made by myself over @fracteed #b3d #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Previously for these tower shatters, I had been using a baked dynamic sim from Blender. Now I just use a pre fractured mesh and a fake dynamics setup using gdscript. Not as accurate but way more flexible! #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming

Haven't had much time to do any #gamedev this year, but I have been back working on #Battletronik this last month with tons of improvements. Here is a first look at a new enemy class called "swarm". #indiegame #indiedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

Glowing rock shader I am working on for my jellyfish game. It is a single canvas shader (2d) on a sprite. I am using the blue channel of a normal map to get that 3d effect. You can see the original sprite with shader toggled off at the end. #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d

Demo of the the first 2 abilities. The green orb controls seaweed and the blue orb reverses currents. You can now also attract an object while still holding another. #JellyfishSupercharge #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #pcgaming #switch #gaming #videogames

I have finally come up with a player mechanic that seems to work for my jellyfish game. Combining or splitting these orbs will give the various orb colors that will allow various abilities. #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #screenshotsaturday #nature

Some more tweaking of the boss explosion and it now feels about right. Nice thing is, being procedural it is easy to add to other bosses :) #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

I haven't worked on this in ages and needed a break from explosions, so spent the afternoon redoing the player controls. Feels much nicer with a gamepad now...still need to make an actual game out of this :) #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #screenshotsaturday #nature

I wanted to do something different for boss explosions, so have been working on this explode/implode effect. All animation is done via script. The smoke is made of hexadecimal characters :) #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

Ended up going for a cube with a similar ascii shader for the portal, as it works from all angles. Here is a demo of going into a portal and the ascii transition. Plus a new writeon text effect #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

Have been working on this portal effect where objects behind the portal turn into ascii art. This is a single shader on a mesh grid. Interestingly, there is no alpha transparency in the shader! #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

I have reworked my approach to bosses. The boss patterns evolve as certain targets are taken out, which will lead to much more epic boss battles! #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

This is a new class of enemy that I have been working on called "guardians" that have orbiting sentinels that are firing at the player. Still very wip, but promising... #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #roguelite

I have been working on getting my ascii shader to work as a transition effect between scenes. Still very wip. #Battletronik #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #saturdayscreenshot

Now that I have the double guns working, the ricochet bullet is even more fun for shooting around corners! Based on feedback I have moved the guns down and back. Will also have an option to hide them #indiegame #gamedev #GodotEngine #b3d #scifi #RetroGaming #saturdayscreenshot

Btw, I do know that there is a gun clipping issue there...an easy fix that I haven't done yet :)
