Lazy Kickers is coming this summer on Steam! Incremental football micro-manager! Grow balls, shoot goals, get coins and dominate the league charts!

Click the magic button on Steam and make sure to tell all your friends about it!

I made the engine from scratch in C/C++ (yes, both) and it works smoothly with tons of stuff on screen even on the slowest PCs!

Still hard at work on content for the Steam page 😅

Spent this week working on code mechanics and making cats for the demo. Almost done with the models, just 2.5 left to go

Can't show the full cast yet, but here are two fluffy freelancers based on concepts by a follower. They are working hard.. or at least pretending to, just like real cats 🐱💻

The judgment on this face...

Bit by bit, I'm adding new cats and variations to my cozy puzzle game. More coming soon! ✨

Hello #Mastodon! 👋 This is my #Introduction here.

I'm a solo dev making my first #Cozy game for Steam called #Catomino.

Honestly, I’m kinda obsessed with how these cats jiggle 🐈✨

🧵 Follow for devlogs and cute cats!

Sometimes we just wanna make a fun thing, even if it's not necessary by any means...

Like randomized serial numbers on weapons. Together with randomized wear patterns on them - gives a nice organic feel to it. Every single gun is unique!

That's stuff you can do very easily in Liblast Framework using our Ubershader.

The serial number is not a decal or a Label3D, it's part of the material.

The models are of course totally placeholder (just Godot primitives).

I'm working on networking.
Big brain energy needed. I've read and studied a lot about networking in FPS games throughout the years, but my own implementations so far have been rather unimpressive.

You think I can knock it out of he park this time around? I've been doing Liblast for 5 years now, this is the 4th from-the-ground-up iteration of the project. I hop I've learned my lesson by now...

It feels like we haven't done a Future Proof Plays stream in a long-ass time, but we're back! Gregory is live playing John William Evelyn's "The Collage Atlas" over on Twitch, a game with art that seems to be entirely pen and ink. I'm a sucker for that aesthetic. I still think about The Mind's Eclipse regularly, and I played it years ago. Anyway, come hang out with us!

I've written a chunky post about my ideas and challenges I see for the design of the Liblast Framework.

The Liblast Project aims to build a framework for making FPS games and produce an FPS game called Liblast.

For all that to work, we need a lot of educated, forward-looking design decisions.

I am taking inspiration from the Quake/Source engine family, but also from Liblast legacy game and other work I've done.

Please chime in 😀

Today's our bi-weekly Future Proof Plays stream, and Gregory is playing Blackwood Crossing. It's turning out to be far more surreal and creepy than I expected, and it has CWs for grief, loss, sibling tension, and maybe jump scares? We aren't sure about the jump scares. Anyway, Gregory is very good at talking about game design, so come join us. 😻 twitch.tv/gregoryaveryweir/

simple:

A game made by one or multiple "independent developers" aka. neither access to resources nor funding by big publishers and/or developers.

Meaning <100 people (if we count in all bought-in assets and playtesters) may and usually <10 people (employed directly or indirectly) and a budget <€ 1M.

It's time for our bi-weekly Future Proof Plays stream, and Gregory is playing Citizen Sleeper. 🤩 This one has been on my to-play list since it came out, so I'm excited to watch them play the first couple hours. We'll be chatting about the game design, capitalism/labor, cyperpunk shit, etc. as the game progresses. twitch.tv/gregoryaveryweir/

I'm wondering, if more people play the Erra: Exordium on Steam Deck, will it affect the time game verified?

An iterative release bringing a few fun new features and lots of small fixes all over the place.

You can now host a game in a local network, start Liblast on other machines and within a few seconds they should discover the running server and let everyone connect to it with a single click!

Also gibbing 😁

Little things that make the game feel better. Like a clear visual indication on how much ammo you have left and how fast can you shoot - being part of the weapon model, and not a HUD 😀
