ANIMALS! In My Island Game

In this #devlog, I discuss the new animals I've added to my #procedural island game, Bridges & Docks. Working on my new #indieGame about procedurally generated islands as a solo #indieDev.

Wishlist Bridges & Docks

Buy Tanks, But No Tank

"There's a million problems with this, but I'm my own boss and I do what I want" bruh that's hilarious hahaha subbed for that

The birds add a lot, I love how you are keeping it simple. I struggle with this all the time, so it's helpful to see it working in practice.

u can use shaders for fish animation to make it faster

[zwitshr]

Agree, more frequent will probably also aid you in reaching more people through the algorithm. But what do I know.

[silashughesmusic]

Something you could maybe try doing is making the fish or birds spawn in a particle system, it's way less expensive, and is quite a bit easier :)
But, seriously, the game is looking great!

I put out 6 videos last year :|. 17 sounds nuts.

Game looks sick Thomas :)

[superdoodjj]

Awesome job! The animals add so much character to the game.

[MykelGloober]

I think videos once a month would be a nice cadence tbh. Feel like you'd have reliable steady progress each time then. Love seeing your progress though. Thanks for sharing your journey!

0:10 Boats are my favorite animal! Glad they’re in the game

[GamesBySaul]

Nice work on the animals! I think they already add a lot to making thee game feel alive!

[andygeers]

It does look really nice and peaceful - you're right about the effect the birds have, good one! I don't know how much effort this kind of video took to make, but this felt like more than enough and was very interesting to watch.

[JustinSixVideos]

great vid and update, games looking great :)

[alan.otoole]

Wishlisted! I’m excited to try this out, seriously, you should consider putting a demo online

[kellyrodgers]

You had me at Move on to the movement 😂

the squid is swimming backwards @2:19 - they swim head first not tentacle first

[PiyushDhone]

This game will be more Popular than Tank but no Tanks
I bet

[MaxyDev]

Dang I didn't know the Animator was that expensive but it definitely makes sense.
And having birds for scale is really smart, I'll probably yoink that idea haha

[AndrisGameDev]

The game looks very nice indeed! Good job!

[Antantic_]

Wow, nice work!

Working on a game and making youtube videos thats a hard thing to do. Wish you luck, hope some day my videos can be informative us yours ^_^

The unity navmesh package isn't that hard to use, and can be used at runtime for procgen terrain. Might be useful for getting far roaming animals, and definitely useful if you plan on having smarter NPCs or something traveling the map.
