New this week: Added muzzle flash effects to weapons and ship color customization.

Testing different texture themes for parts of generated maze to help navigating. The idea might be good, but the implementation looks pretty ugly at the moment.. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godotengine

Replaced the cube with an actual ship model. I think I can safely call this #lowpoly as it has 78 vertices, 61 faces and 118 triangles. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #b3d #gameart

Projectiles are now synced over network too (server left, client right, the usual 100±30ms simulated latency between them) #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #netcode #indiedev #indiegamedev

Playing around with Godot's high level networking. Here's server and client running on the same PC with simulated 100±30 ms latency, 10 updates per second, basic motion extrapolation, no smoothing or interpolation yet #godotengine #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #devtober

It was supposed to be just a #blockmesh for testing, but I liked the ultra #lowpoly look so much that I kept it and just added some lighting. #blocktober #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Fixed a "critical" bug in Hyper Ultra Astronautics: The controller guide text color for gamepad now matches the actual color of the first gamepad player!

Very little progress this week, just some minor improvements to my custom menu
#indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #godotengine

My custom menu has the most basic functionality implemented. Now I only need add the rest and make it look good. #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

New this week: Added acceleration to keyboard controls to make aiming easier, added simple shock wave effects to explosions. #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

I wrote a short post about building a custom arcade cabinet for Hyper Ultra Astronautics:
