Some more game dev! Started working on a RT system for patterns on the floor like Zelda’s Gloom you can detect and apply gameplay tags with. Had to have a bit of help from a friend with the c++ for CPU accuracy in the drawing of it, but, it works!! #indiegamedev #UE5

……my God!

Walking around artist alley this year at AX and every row has a dozen people with some kind of Sonic thing. 5 years ago it would be me and like 3 or 4 other people in the whole place. Crazy how much things have changed in just a few years.

Annndd… There we go!! Feature complete code wise!! All done in Blueprint! Fully functional Cyloop from Frontiers! You can draw as many loops as your trail limit permits, and saved loops are stored and removed relative to trail drawing in real time! #indiegamedev #UE5 #gamedev #sonicfrontiers

Been away from the platform for a while, so, Indie Game Dev not dead. Something I figured out how to do ;) Added a new feature from the source inspiration too! #gamedev #sonic #UE5

A look at my Boost game's test room so far and what it can do. I showcased the pause screen stuff last time! Still a work in progress but it is happening! #indiedev #gamedev

It means different things for different people man. You're not really big on Nintendo stuff outwardly anymore, mainly just hit indie game number 201929473 but many people are, let them have fun.

One of the few things keeping me at bay right now is this show still being around to distract me from the terrible headlines.

"weird nintendo is dead!" nintendo: "unleash the virtual boy"

Putting the Nintendo Community on Trial by @abrambuehner.bsky.social "We want, we rush, we rehash the same talking points ad nauseam while the content creators steering the discussion fail to wade in further than the shallows. It’s exhausting, it’s low-grade." Read on:

Shadow Generations had a lot of wonderful music, but, this one sticks out to me the most from one of the early cutscenes. Cutscene direction was damn wonderful for the game! I hope future games continue it's quality! youtu.be/ejJqf-Bb3FM?...

He's a nutjob sometimes.

Please internet, make this a meme. #MarioandLuigi

Hey @nitrorad.bsky.social do you plan to talk about or at least try the Sonic Generations remastered with the Shadow Generations game included? I know you don't talk about the "big boys" as much, but, I still would like to hear your thoughts as the "platformer guy" after all!

Picked up my physical copy for the Switch version today. The Generations half runs wonderfully even at 30fps. Beat it all over again in portable mode as soon as I got off work. Still my favorite 3D Sonic game and now, I have it portable proper. Please play this masterpiece 💙🩵🖤❤️

Animation wise, I find Shadow Generations to be far more advanced, obviously. And I find it's story really emotionally rewarding. The ending got me feeling things. Was a bit annoyed Sunset Heights and Chaos Island robbed us of a Shadow 05 stage and potentially another 06 or Heroes stage tho 😤
