Earlier in the year, to familiarise myself with lua i made a basic dam which opens and closes with sounds and particles.
That looks incredible! Where could I find this game? Amazing work!
Edit:
Don’t worry, I found it
Probably substantial in comparison to other peoples work, but I’m practicing with Blender more. Made a plague doctor mask.
Re-creating an old project. Fire spreads and tries to consistently point upwards.
tell me when this is done plz. Put me on a list or something
I’m really happy to see you want to join testing, added to you the list, I’ll message you when the game is ready for testing.
If anyone wishes to join the list for future testing, please send me a private message on the devforums and I’ll add you, thanks.
Maybe I’m working on a plugin to get the vertices of all Roblox part types (including meshes), idk lol:
Practising some modelling with Blender and texturing with Substance Painter by making a Sikorsky SH-3 variant. Before and after texturing:
I drew a profile picture for myself using vectors (this is not a rendered gfx, I drew it using gravit designer).
Now that the inventory system is complete, I can begin working on the status bars:
- Oxygen: you lose oxygen when underwater, if you don’t have oxygen you start losing health, if you get back to the surface with 0 oxygen, it takes 3 seconds for you to start regenerating.

- Stamina: you lose stamina while running and possibly jumping (not sure yet), when it reaches 0, it also takes 3 seconds to start regenerating.

I’m also planning to add hunger and thirst on the left side, but before that I need to make some polls about the mechanics.
Poll 1: how should the run mechanic be triggered? Cancelled poll, the default trigger for the run mechanic is now ctrl (hold)
- Tool (click to activate/ deactivate)
- Pressing ctrl (not hold)
- Pressing left shift (not hold)
0 voters
Poll 2: should I add a custom running animation?
- Yes
- No
0 voters
How do I join the playtester list?
You can join by sending me a private message, and when the time arrives, you’ll be invited.
That is amazing! Nice work mate!
I would actually recommend holding control down. Because holding it gives the player a faster reaction time. This is because having to press it again to stop sprinting would take longer than if you just release it. If you use shift some people might accidentally turn on sticky keys which you have to close that window in order to keep on playing.
I think you can detect if the player has a key down by doing:
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, GP)
if GP then return end
if UIS.IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl) then
-- Sprint
end
end
end)
You can read more about IsKeyDown

Thanks for your suggestion, the poll was made more to try and check what people want, but I guess that holding ctrl works better, I also added it later because I was not sure if pressing ctrl + w would close roblox, but after testing it was not possible, holding ctrl down will be the running trigger.
This is a song I made for a couple of friends and their game! It’s inspired off of ScriptOn’s menu music for Kinetic Code!
