Build 1.0.1 MAP 8 and the fire tree up to TIER IV are done. Game is going to enter a pretty serious stage after demo maps. (sound on, share your feedback pls) #gaming #indiedev #indiegames #nextfest

Okay... I asked Claude Code to design an excavator that would work on the Moon, just for fun. I forgot I had opened it in my Unreal Engine experiments folder. F*k me. I now have a fully functional lunar excavator simulator with all the controls.

Last day of #nextfest and all the feedback will make its way - somehow - into the final game! Huge thanks to all 250 players, and to Mikatron, who discovered that shaders can be compiled in 3 seconds instead of 30! How? Switching from FXC to DXC cut the first-launch shader compilation time from ~47s to ~4s. That's the curse of developing on an RTX 50XX, you don't always notice what everyone else has to deal with! ;) I'm really sorry for making you all wait those 30-50 seconds! Fully ugpraded tree vs final map in demo.

#screenshotsaturaday Nerfing Edition / Balancing Edition For endless modes, nerfing means shorter, less boring gameplay loops. Sometimes, being too powerful means spending 1,000 hours doing practically nothing.

Can we call this spawn camping? The new endless mode lets you play for as long as you can handle the enemies' increasing HP! A little tuning still needs to be done, along with a few more wave modifiers based on time, but... yeah... #gamedev #solodev #nextfest

I've received a lot of feedback from people in Japan, China, Thailand, and Poland. Thanks to this, the main game will feature full localization support. Some translations might still need a bit of polishing, as games tend to use a lot of neologisms and made-up terms. Thank you! :)

Bugs... and now worms?! Am I a sick person? This is a collection of worms you'll be able to find in the full game in Endless Mode! Whenever you find one, just click on it, and it'll be added to your collection. I won't spoil what you can do with them, but for sureeee, it's gonna be crazy! #gamedev #indiedev #solodevs #NextFest

The numbers look pretty neat! :) Thank you! BTW, I'd love to meet the top 10% of players (around 40–50 people). If you're one of them, please let me know you're here! :) #nextfest #gamedev

To kill this one, you need to put a ROD into it. ;) #gamedev #pixelart #nextfest

If using AI-generated art in gaming hurts artists, then using AI-generated code in gaming hurts programmers. You can't have one without the other. #ai #gamedev #nextfest
