UE5 particle physics + goblin hordes = mayhem.

So we made a Wormhole Gun.

Right now it pulls enemies into a spiraling collision nightmare.

Explosive barrels aren’t hooked up yet… but that's next.

This might be more broken than the flamethrower.

Tens of thousands of physics-based enemies, now running on Steam Deck, in our indie game There Are Millions of Goblins.

Using the 3D Neighbor grid setup for inter-particle collisions, I realised I'm able to detect the concentration of enemies at any given location. Turns out I could increase gpu performance by about 300%, by not rendering any goblins that are obscured by a horde layer above them.

Still work to be done. We can make it even better - but this is an exciting step, and hopefully encouraging for players that worry their hardware couldn't handle it!

@mumbot continues to be one of the most dedicated artists I know.

Vinyl art (figures, toys, etc) - is the perfect intersection of illustration, design and fine art - in a form that feels nostalgic and most importantly, in an increasingly digital world…tangible.

Indie Game Devs: Your potential customer base is much larger than you think.

Once I realized how this really works, it resulted in a massive influx of sales. Let me explain:

For background, my spellcrafting game, Spellmasons, had plateaued for years and was losing traction when I recommitted myself to marketing.

This resulted in my 3rd year, post launch, beating all the other years combined.

Here's what I figured out that made this happen:
- Your game is an asset you'll own forever
- Everybody says launch causes the most sales and that's just not true for indies because indies usually don't reach anywhere near their Total Addressable Market in terms of exposure
- chances are, indies will literally never reach every eyeball that might be a potential buyer, which means there are always more potential customers who would love your game if only they hear about it

And even more importantly:
New gamers are getting old enough to sign up for steam for the first time every. single. day.
If I restart marketing in 5 years, there'll be 5 whole years worth of new gamers who might be interested.

It's literally millions of new players every year.
You'll never run out of people who are hearing about your game for the first time, no matter how viral your content is.

A little in development gameplay from There Are Millions Of Goblins.

Building out our workflow for adding new enemy traits to the physics horde, and also working on some player feedback and hit reactions!

Who likes damage numbers?

grumpls are currently on a barge making their way to our warehouse. In the meantime, I've been sorting out what i want to add to the "goblin edition" and "bagfacehed spechuls"....

...and i figured out that old socks make pretty good grumpl clothes.

image real, animation is a bit of silliness with Kling ai.

We've been quietly at work on our next game: THERE ARE MILLIONS OF GOBLINS!

3D Vampire Survivors meets Twisted Metal and Carmageddon - splatter giant hordes of physics-based goblins in 3rd person or classic top-down.

Uninterrupted gameplay from the latest project with @nickydooodles2 There Are Millions of Goblins.

A few fun bits worth calling out 👇

Niagara Data Channels — every goblin death spawns GPU-driven gibs for lots and lots and lots (and lots) of dismemberment

Simple IK + fake physics on the weapon arm for that wobbly, juicy juice

Couldn’t choose top-down or 3rd person, so we built controls that support both, zoom out to read the horde, zoom in to relish smashing through it

New weapons coming soon.

What should I add first?

Production updates !!

[goblintown @goblintown]

Week 6 lineup. See thread for all the details.

[Ray Epsilon @RayEpsilon]

If you can afford a sandwich, you can skip lunch and buy @GoblintownRHDG in the Steam winter sale instead

[GR≡Y @process_grey]

Congrats @Adamtastic this is awesome!

Adam is a big reason of not just the “how” I joined this space , but the “why.”

Without ever having met me, he took the time to sit down on a zoom call and give me his thoughts on the best, most thoughtful way to be a part of this new emerging art conversation of web3.

He continues to be a role model creating thoughtfully and with that ever increasing intentionality that he is known for.

Adam is as OG as it gets - might be a good time to get exposed to his work.

Just won the lipstik da grumpl from @goblintown!

Bought a Goblin through GobStrategy for .14 ETH, traded it to the team for 2x dollar value in tickets.

.14 ETH for a 1/1 - not too shabby
