@bsanyshyn_music @IndieAoba @pixabay oh interesting :) thank you!

Dear GameDev community 👋 Where can I find atmospheric space background music I can use in my game? :) I found some nice music on @pixabay but I'm not sure if I can use it in games as well? #IndieGameDev #freemusic #gamemusic

[Marcel Scherf 🌱☀ @marcelscherf]

@bsanyshyn_music @IndieAoba @pixabay I'm not using Unity, so I'm not sure if I can use the store assets outside of it? 🤔

Lethal Company, but it's a cinematic trailer!

Game Dev Update :) https://t.co/kCEm9Zbmox

[Marcel Scherf 🌱☀ @marcelscherf]

- I added my favorite sprites made by the talented https://t.co/Y34Z0VsErE :) and gave the asteroids a random rotation.
- The placement of the asteroids is now checked against the proximity of already existing asteroids and padded from the world bounds.

[Marcel Scherf 🌱☀ @marcelscherf]

- Each entity is now wrapped in a container with the possibility to show indicators next to them.
- I tweaked the "entitiesInRadius" calculation to take the sprite size into account, so it is now more accurate.

[Marcel Scherf 🌱☀ @marcelscherf]

- The info panel on the right is now a Preact App that gets data fed via signals.
- The Upgrade buttons interact with the Game world and upgrade mining and movement speed for the cost of resources.
- Asteroids have an outline filter applied when the mouse hovers over them

[Marcel Scherf 🌱☀ @marcelscherf]

Here's what changed since the last time:

- The game now runs on an Entity Component System.
- Entities now have a command queue that is triggered for the player entity by shift-right-clicking
- The command queue for the player entity is displayed as a path.

Finding the nearest neighbors within a radius efficiently using a rudimentary cell-based lookup index. Used PIXI.js to visualize it and added some interactivity and stats for good measure. :) If you're interested I can provide a GitHub repo after I clean up the code a bit 😅

I don't know what else to say then

It's officially over for most graphic designers and photographers

I'm speechless, it's just too good

This is 10,000x cheaper than any human could charge
