Dev Pigs

Two friends that have started making games together. We like to go to the pub a lot too. Truffle Pig - coming when it comes.

We’ve had a few days off, it’s been a hard week trying to juggle work, social life and game dev, but hoping by the end of the week to have an animated farmer.

Any tips on staying on top of everything and juggling it all?

@RoxasDragnir We are currently using the grass and bushes from a tutorial we found on YouTube by a YouTube called HeartBeast, definitely worth a watch.
But we are in talks with an artist to commission some art for the game.

Truffle Pig update, the past few days we've been working on the pathfinder and using it to locate the truffle using the shortest route avoiding any obstacles

The pig is also animated and isn't she a cutie!

@PardelWorks @ZdenekDolezal We are indeed. It took a couple of days to get our heads round, but now it's getting there.

Just trying to come up with a way of calulating what areas are covered by the obstacles collsion shape using it's radius or height.

@Amon26 Yes! These are the really fun stages, seeing the idea of the game really come to life. Excited to post more updates on the pig and her adventures as we go.

This week we have been working on the pig using A* to find the shortest path to the truffle, once she arrives at the truffle the depth followed by the truffle health decreases..

@GTcreyon I have just finished implementing the avoidance of obstacles, this will work for both stationary obstacles and moving obstacles!

[Dev Pigs @DevPigs]

@GTcreyon By A* I mean the A* shortest path algorithm. So the pig will be an “AI” which will be able to find truffles allowing for the player controlled farmer to dig them up. We have implemented a path finder that finds the shortest path from the pig to the truffle.

Thank you to everyone that replied with their advice and tips. We are truly overwhelmed by the response we got from this. We’re so excited to be part of this indie dev community, and what a community it is. #gamedev | #indiedev | #madewithgodot | #indiegamedev | #indiegame

Does anyone have any advice for a new Game Dev starting their first game? Been a C# developer for 5 years now decided to go for more of a passion project...

@GTcreyon Yeah! That’s what we’ve gone for, it’s new but always up for learning something new!
