Utopos 1.12 sneak preview was just posted! Up to 10 players per game, destructible environments, new ships and weapons, and more! youtu.be/iJtHhncFEzM
After several weekend and evening sessions of drawing in Inkscape I now have fully "vectorized" controller graphics for the 4 controller types supported natively by Solaroids. Here's the PS4. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #IndieGameDev
Finished the vector version of the reticle in Solaroids. This was a long time coming for some reason. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev
Finally finished vector controller layout and buttons. Available now in the latest update at 50% off even. #Solaroids #shmup #shootemup

Zero lines of code to create this in free version of Unity. Blender modeling, keyframe animation, and Unity 2020 with Bolt (visual nodes instead of programming) tutorial coming to youtube.com/imphenzia #gamedev #lowpoly #blender #unity #untiy2020 #unity3d
Many thanks to the studio that took out google ads for my game @Solaroids, but it’s absolutely, positively, famous enough without your help... sure, as if.

You grab it right now on Steam Early Access (bit.ly/2ZYtlRx) but it should be on Xbox, PS4 & Switch eventually.

Solaroids Prologue from @Solaroids is a kick-ass, gorgeous version of the classic game Asteroids. It handles amazingly well, with accurate but slightly floaty controls that made flying and shooting feel great.

Get a chance to play Solaroids: Prologue for a limited time on #XboxOne from July 21-27th. 🙌 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #Xbox #shmup
Beauty sometimes isn’t planned! Had a position offset problem resulting in this “eclipse” effect, while building out the demo end in my game for Xbox. Thought it was a cool happenstance so took a quick pic with my phone for memory. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev
