Showed off #menacegame at @PlymGameDevs November event, looking forward to more in the future!

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Updated a NPC sprite: Tired Tina, a single mother of an energetic 8yo and a screeching baby. (Subtle detail: the number of flowers on her cardigan represents the minutes of sleep she gets a night!) See our sprite quality improve!

Debating whether we should provide a set of preset colours or just a full RGB picker. Thoughts? Dare we give players such power?

#indiedevhour #gamedev #indiedev #menacegame

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Added colour picking options! Players will be able to change their hair, skin, and clothing colours. Took ages to split the Carl sprite into the dozen or so materials, gonna be thrilllllling to do it all again for Caroline.

We decided to try out the new version of #Blender3D by modelling our park shack for #menacegame. Verdict: the Loaded Games offices are reporting a 66% decrease in confused questions about how to close unintentionally opened UI panels! Nice one!

#GameDev #indiedevhour #indiedev

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Tinkered with the stealth mechanics of the game, adding a UI indicator for when you've been spotted as well as a corresponding tutorial prompt. Really need to improve UX and UI but it does the job for now.

This week we textured our first 3d object in #menacegame, a park bench. We wanted to make sure our 3D objects don't look weird next to our 2D sprites. Do you think the cartoon edges work, would you add or change anything?

Improvement #1, make tutorial prompts freeze time - it's already frustrating enough not knowing how to play, having to learn while sprinting for the door isn't fun at all! Do you have any tutorial #UXDesign tips?

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

We've been thinking about how to tutorialise #menacegame non-obtrusively while still catering to zero-experience players, so we've started adding these popup buttons to the UI. UX & assets aren't done yet, but what do you think so far?

We've been experimenting with having 3D environment props mixed in with our 2D characters in #menacegame. Still needs a proper texture but here is Birdman chilling on a bench. What do you think?

The second sprite update for #menacegame, Birdman Bill. He's an NPC who can be found in the park feeding his beloved birds. We're getting a little faster at developing these, what do you think of his design and the art style?

#indiedevhour #characterdesign #gamedev #indiedev

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Next sprite to be updated in #menacegame is Birdman Bill, a weary old man who'd rather talk to the local pigeons than any of you weirdos. This is a rough sketch of his new design. What do you think?

It may be #NationalVideoGameDay but it's a terrible day for a picnic. Tried out some ripple effects on our weather system in #menacegame! What do you think?

#madeinunity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

@AmitGinni @DevPromoter We're working on it! ;)

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Our current weather effects implementation using the #unity3d particle system. As you cause more dismay and chaos in #menacegame, the weather will reflect it by getting more and more miserable. Wild pathetic fallacy. How do you think it looks?

#madeinunity #gamedev #indiedev

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Decided to add a blue noise texture to our wall fade shader! We're pretty happy with the result. The video below demonstrates it with a bunch of different noise resolutions. Which one do you like the most?

Our #unity3d shader graph screen door fade effect in action in #menacegame. Do you think the pixel dithering effect works? We'd love to hear any improvements you might have!

#indiedevhour #madeinunity #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Our previously mentioned screen door transparency shader applied to one of our horrific-looking prototype buildings in #menacegame. Maybe it's best to keep it faded out for now. What do you think of the shader?

#indiedevhour #madeinunity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Just developed this nifty screen door fade shader in the Unity shader graph. The actual shader is opaque but pixels disappear to fake a transparent look!

Be careful who you make fun of in early builds.

[Loaded Games @LoadedGamesDev]

Our male player character Carl's new sprite. He's the strange new guy in town, and he wants nothing but to cause dismay for the townsfolk around him. A real menace. This is his third sprite so far, what do you folks think?
