Hatchback. Flutters in air. Windswept.

Thumbnail splash is also a quick attempt at making a winter scene with some PBR materials + the Terrain3D integration - rendered in Godot itself

Hello Wheelers! Next #devlog is up - did you hear about our guest speaker from Criterion Games and new #godot Road Generator features? If not, stop by for a quick read - and remember to support our open source project if you can by becoming a member or lending a hand www.patreon.com/posts/septem...

What good are roads without a world to rest upon? Great updates from @theduckcow.com under the guidance of TokisanGames (maker of the #godot Terrain3D plugin) to create this dual-plugin integration. Want to test it out? Comment on GitHub if you've got any feedback! github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

What have we been working on for #screenshotsaturday? Creating some utilities to enable free-flowing traffic! This demo is straight from our open source #godot road generator, freshly updated: github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Look at these lil cable arms! Gone are the days where jumping looks like instant teleportation. Magnet caps fit perfectly with the plus-shaped targets you find around the world, while your cables always hint at the closest target, ready for your next move #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Load tests are going well as we migrate to #godot 4 - making use of those sweet, sweet HLODs for smooth transitions between meshes and image sprites! Excuse us while we delete a chunk of code that was manually doing this before...

Better watch your speed, lest you catch the attention of our new PD cruiser! #indiedev #blender (Still a rough "paperfold" model while we figure out all features needed in-game)

Curious to experience a whimsical quest-based driving game? We are still looking for more playtesters! Get the free demo below - we'd love your feedback: wheelstealgame.com #godot #rpg

Hello Wheelers - our next playtest is officially live, we'd love to have you partake! Complete quests, explore the world, and hijack at high speed. Join the free playtest here: wheelstealgame.com #indiedev #gamedev #playtest

Are you THIS excited about our next playtest? Mark it down, we're inviting players starting this Friday! (Don't worry, we'll make sure this car calms down by then) Stay in the loop on discord: discord.gg/gttJWznb4a #godot #indiedev #playtest

Sorry it's been awhile, we were stuck in traffic. But it finally arrived - new car model! The Detective kindly lends you his bouncy car at the start of your journey - just try not to dent it 🙈 #godot #gamedev

Why not stop by a reststop's community service board, and pick up a request? The selection UX has evolved nicely, now with little animations and basic sfx. Auto-nudging the player out of the gazebo and restoring the prior camera angle does wonders to make it feel fluid. #godot #indiedev

Happy #screenshotsaturday - hope your day's calmer than these wheelers being RUDELY acquainted with the player! #godot #indiedev #cargame

Testing out the fetch quest to make sure the triggers and dialogue work, now we've got a crateful of goodies! #gamedev #godot

If you see this, share a vehicle! 🚗 Inspired by the ute - a NZ/Aussie term predating modern day pickups. Some made their own from standard cars by cutting the back out into storage - something our Mandy the mechanic would do! (don't judge our placeholder concept mesh plz!) #gamedev #3dart

The job + dialogue system is coming along nicely, wheelers now show a little (!) for story/quest-focussed dialogues to grab the player's attention #gamedev #quest #dialogue

Long gone are the days where hijacker victims remain silent! Dare you start a conversation with one of these disgruntled wheelers? #gamedev #godot

You said it detective! We *finally* have some interactive speech bubbles, inviting the player in to chat with their fellow wheelers. #godot #gamedev #dialogue #screenshotsaturday

We've made great progress on our community job board! Found at rest stop gazebos, "unpin" a post to claim it, and with your handy paper clip, bring it along to help identify your goal out in the world. #gamedev #godot #godotengine #indiedev

Guess what? The #Godot Road Generator plugin is officially available, for the *first time*, in the 4.2-4.3 Asset Library! Check out the blog with visuals about all the awesome updates: www.patreon.com/posts/113044...

We're working on Community notes! Err, no, not *that* kind of community note. Little jobs you'll be able to pick up at rest stops on the open road! #GodotEngine #gamedev

These updates are coming fast as I work on wrapping up this release - I've added some changes to auto rotation & magnitude handles, so you get less kinking and more feasible bending roads #procgen #GodotEngine #GODOT Now merged to dev, releasing soon! github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

Did you know we are building an open source Road Generator tool for #GodotEngine? Well, we just fixed up this handy dissolve/delete tool for your roads! Demo here showing off the undo/redo stack github.com/TheDuckCow/g...

We're all about road safety here - how about this novel uni-directional traffic calming measure? aka all bugs are features 😁 #IndieGameDev #GodotEngine

Not as prestigious as the sub 1M crowd, but still excited to be part of the blue sky wave!

What's that, video is now supported? We're back y'all, now with 100% more driver-pedestrian switching! Switch to walk-mode by targeting a parking sign #godot #godotengine #gamedev

Long time no see! And what better way to bring back up the attention with a new game mechanic: Mirror Charms Collected (*ahem* stolen) when you hijack cars, exchanged for upgrades and perks. Now we just need to code up the unlockable "leapfrog" ability

When two roads, er, artists join - having a fun time with @tunaprincess.bsky.social and TheDuckCow, jamming on some experimental shading (still very early stages!)

Driving down memory lane, thinking about trying this painterly, floaty abstract effect again for our mid to background scenery.
