Sneak-peek on the dive summary screen

2018-11-25 koderGames

The dive summary screen will look something like this: The noteworthy detail is the fact that this screen uses exactly same mineral sprites that are used in-game – they are just zoomed in. This means[…]

The grand Paralax

2018-09-272018-09-27 koderGames

“You know what ΔV needs?” – said a friend a while ago – “A parallax scrolling”. And he was right. This was supposed to be easy, but turned out not so much. Godot Engine has build-in[…]

Shading the EMP

2018-09-19 koderGames

The EMP blast causes massive discharges on the surface of the hull, as well as lasting damage to electronic equipment. It’s about time I had some fun with shaders and show it off. Ships in ΔV[…]

Does it scale?

2018-09-16 koderGames

With a little after-hours studio in-depth testing becomes an issue. We are doing my best to test everything I write, but our resources are limited, so we often miss some edge cases. That’s where our[…]

Polishing the flames

2018-08-09 koderΔV: Rings of Saturn

Today I finally got around to polishing some visual aspects of the exhaust. Plume no longer just grows trough everything, it will dissipate when it hits something. It also pushes and melts the rock. The[…]

Designing the damage

2018-07-23 koderΔV: Rings of Saturn

Games usually handle damage via hitpoints, or similar concepts. But my car does not explode if I kick it a thousand times – and neither should a spaceship. Those are sophisticated machines with many levels[…]

Taking a breath

2018-07-21 koderΔV: Rings of Saturn

Pause menu is not something you imagine doing when making games, but it has to be there. Another piece of dark work that is hardly noticeable once it’s there. Settings menu got complete settings, with[…]
