Sharing my experience doing my first radio interview and going to my first gaming conference. And now, it's time to push for the release.This is probably the...
Less news on social media means that more work is being done!
Stay tuned for some spicy updates on Will & The Evil Duck!
Next video is on the way! ππ
Creativity always goes up and down. One of the challenges is to find a style that is visually pleasing and efficient to produce. I think this might be it :D
Little Update on Will & The Evil Duck:
Just added some in-game hints to communicate the basic controls.
The controls remain basic and the UI is fully invisible. There's no annoying joystick or button hiding parts of the game:
π Left side of the screen to move
π Right side: (1) Swipe to Jump, (2) Tap for Action like Picking up and throwing objects, (3) Long Touch for interacting like saving the server, opening a coding station or even selecting a level.

π€© New post on the Kingdom.
Sharing some thoughts on current state of social media and one key aspect that changed how I look at the different platforms!
π Currently, the Kingdom is a custom-build platforms only for holders of a L10N NFT, but I am looking at other ways to provide that exlusive content as well. It's either extend the platform and put more development time into it or migrate to another place like Gumroad and focus 100% of my energy on games and content.
Little peek of the virtual set.
Here's basically the power of baking lights.
Realtime lighting is super expensive and having great shadows, reflections, ambiant occlusion and other small details is just not realistic without baking that information.
Here's the result with and
Prototyping the level to select levels, because levelception! π§π
Hey. Here's the full reveal. *tada*
He's nameless for now. He will also probably stay voiceless for some time. π
βοΈ Next steps: Open and add the character into the virtual space, setup animations and record some scenes!
It's live! π

The start of making virtual B-roll using HDRP. Will try this for this devlog and if it works well, those scenes will evolve over time, just as it would be a character π
Willβs never alone. π€ His personal assistant is there to help him, guide him and ... occasionally laugh at him.
New angle for the next devlog. π€
I am so late :D but hey, it is as it is. π€ͺ
Filming can begin π¬
The Ducks knew someone would come for them. They have deployed security sentinels all of the place!
Greatly inspired by the game Portal!
The most evil of all the ducks!

Creative session as a break in between projects.
Donβt mess with the ducks. π¦
Avoid eye contact and ignore their innocent smiles! π
Those harmless bugs π wander around. You can pick them up, thrown them away or plug them into an interface and see what happens. They are truly harmless, buggy nevertheless, but harmless. Also cute. π
Some are there just for decoration, some might wake up when the playerβs too close and go KABOOOOOM!
Let's go! The Kingdom is coming! It's an exclusive space for all L10N5 NFT owners!

π» Tech Update:
The first prototype of the website is working. Authentication and Authorization is done the Web 3.0 way, which is pretty cool! So much more fun than standard username/password flows.
Next steps are about finalising the design, implementing the remaining features, deploying in the cloud and last but not least, plan the content that is going to be shared on the platform.
I was expecting a cake for my BDay, I did not imagine it would be this ππ€©π€©π₯³π₯³

Amazing hand-drawn skillzzzz from !! And it was tasty π

π΅οΈ Context Clues are so important in video games. They draw the player's eyes to a certain point of interest and shows them that there is something to do. In the game, some elements can be interacted with by performing a long touch. When the player is close, a first visual clue appears. Then, when the play start interacting, a radial progress donut starts to fill up. π© #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #mobilegames #iosgame #indiegamedev #indiedeveloper #unity3d #madewithunity #3dgame #gameplay

π½ Gameplay of a Space FPS prototype. Pew Pew Pew. Things I learned in this prototype: βοΈ Baking lights is easy when it's dark π βοΈ NavMesh always requires a lot of work to make smart enemies. Here, they are definitly not smart. βοΈ Animated doors are not that scary, just keep it simple. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegames #prototypegame #prototyping #scifi #scifigame #spacestation #space #fps #fpsgames #madewithunity #unity3d #unitygames
