Updating my Infinite Rocket Jumper!

This week I focused on expanding Boops, implementing a Boop Race Terminal into the Boop World where you can pit 4 Boops of your choice against each other in a fierce head-to-head race!

Hat Vending Machines & Statues - Bun Devlog #19

An easy beginner tutorial on recreating the main mechanic in the game series Katamari - playing as a sticky sphere and accumulating increasingly bigger props from the scene like a snowball - in Unity. This is a super simple tutorial with only 6 lines of code but I hope it demonstrates the trial-and-error process of game development! Feel free to share anything you make with this tutorial, I would love to see what people come up with.

Making an Infinite Rocket Jumper in 7 Days (7DFPS Game Jam)

A simple tutorial on making a stylized "speed lines" effect using Unity VFX Graph. All the tutorials I found are for the old particle system so I thought I'd make an updated tutorial using some nice VFX Graph-specific features. Make sure you're using a Unity version and Render Pipeline that supports VFX Graph.

How to make Anime Speed Lines in Unity VFX Graph

A quick tutorial on making a stylized toon explosion effect in Unity's VFX Graph. All the tutorials I found are for the old particle system so I thought I'd make an updated tutorial using some nice VFX Graph-specific features. Make sure you're using a Unity version and Render Pipeline that supports VFX Graph (not going to say this out loud anymore in videos going forward)

NOTE: In Upwell & the original gif, I used sphere particles to achieve the explosion, but in planning this tutorial found using quads with circle textures to be significantly more performant (duh). If you want to use spheres you can do that too, just use Output Particle Mesh set to Sphere and remove the texture.

How to make Stylized Toon Explosions in Unity VFX Graph

Yet another devlog for my indie 3D platformer, Bun! This year started off with a bang as Demospree gave me great feedback for the Bun demo. I got to work adding collectable impermanence, redesigning the Pause and Main Menus, improving dialogue and planning out the rest of the game.

Close to Finishing my 3D Platformer! Bun Devlog #24

I decided to join my first ever gamedev collaboration, making a game alongside 4 other YouTube game developers with the same 4 required themes: Warlike Cacti, Chaos, Tower Defense & Sacrifice! Although Cactus King was pretty much a failure, I had a ton of fun making it and playing what the others came up with :)

Four Game Developers COMBINE Four Themes To Make Four Games

After reading through tons of your insightful feedback on the last devlog (THANK YOU!), I’m starting off some structured updates to my indie game 3D platformer Bun- starting with the Platforming Update. I do a significant overhaul to Bun’s PlayerController, adding moving platforms, conveyor belts, timed sequences, and even a wallslide and walljump mechanic you can use anywhere! Wow, what an action-packed indie video game development adventure.

Major 3D Platforming Overhaul! Bun Devlog #26

3 months have passed since my last devlog and I'm back to show you what I've been working on and thinking about for my indie 3D platformer Bun! I've decided to ask the community for feedback that will help shape the game as I get closer to finishing it, so I share a commentated playthrough of the first level. I'm hoping we can find a few areas of the game to improve that'll make the biggest difference and push Bun over the finish line.

What's Wrong with my Game? Bun Devlog #25

Had a cool moment recreating a subtle but brilliant mechanic from CS:GO that allows hundreds of bullet holes to persist across a map for a whole round of gameplay. Developers simply specify how many decals are made by the object pool and recycle when we run out of decals!
