combat polish dayyy ✨ tweaking knockback, tightening movement, abusing my curve alpha maths until it behaves lol slowly getting that juicy hack ’n slash feel ✨ what makes combat feel GOOD to you in games? 👀 #GameDev #IndieDev #ActionGames #UE5

Hmmm, just beeing trying to get a few more polys out of VDP1... (or sprites lol) and trying to make a creepy effect with VDP2 but not feeling it.... still love the Saturn. Sorry for the lack of posts just works and stuff. #IndieGameDev #retrogames #creepy

Finally got back to the Saturn tool and I improved my render to now have more Polys! older posts had Vdp2 doing floor stuff but now we are all Vdp1 woot! load times on the saturn are fine too. #Indedev #Sega #Saturn

Hay hay! ✨ Finally got one enemy behaving how I wanted 👀 Thinking of adding reaction animations to show mood, and a dev suggested making hats react too, sounds fun 😄 Once foes do more than "walk" and "punch," you notice how much the player needs tweaking 😂 Game dev never ends. #GameDev #IndieGame

Hay hay! 👋 Hey hey! 👋 Just another day clobbering imps while I tweak SOE 😅 Quick Q: when you explore a game, what sticks with you more, music or visuals? A killer score can totally flip a location; I remember some worlds mostly by their tunes 🎵 #GameMusic #Gaming

Not sure who wants a bit of debug info, but here’s one nugget... that’s all I’m saying :3 Fun trick: stun an imp, then hurl it into another. #IndieGame #UnrealEngine

Hay hay all... I am thinking I might be post less and just try make more of SOE rather than post samy stuff more and more... so updates are gonna get slower, but the project is still very much alive! #Indiedev

Hay, I have been playing with the spline limbs and all... and they fun to use and all that but I have no clue what attacks I should even make... just wanted to make sure the name Scarf of Embers is a game where the scarf plays a roll... if you have ideas of attacks let me know! #SoloDev #Indiegame

Got the Saturn tool (it needs a name) to have a simple 3rd person controller and there's something about having this run... I really thing there's a fun tool here! What kinda tools you think would be useful for a sega Saturn editor? #retro

Well working on Saturn tool, I wanted to speed up making lowpoly characters (and well texturing them and started to make this, might actally make blender plugin that can link with the tool over trying to make a modeler in a tool... more updates on it's for the tool, thoughts? #lowpoly

Meowdy! A peek at SaturnForge's editor 🪐 Working on a full VDP2 tile editor and hardware effects! Scene baking helps FPS and culling, but CD read speeds are my new enemy... :3 Saturn dev is HARD, but it's been a nice break from SOE. Vids soon! #SegaSaturn #IndieDev

I was on character design crack so I whipped her up on a whim. Her name is Mirage and she’s gonna double as an OC apart of two fandoms because I couldn’t make up my mind. The two lores will be seperate ✨ #HazbinHotel | #Creepypasta | #Mirage

Meowdy again! 🪐 Got distracted making a UI editor and scene loading manager :b New SaturnForge test! The baker makes a huge difference: level 2 has a fully polygonal floor and holds 30 FPS on real hardware! Still WIP. VDP2 tricks work too! Somehow it’s 1am :3 #IndieDev #SegaSaturn #Lowpoly

A lot of people kept asking or saying how I should look at how Sonic R did fading... well here's your smelly fading... AND the tool now has the effect bulit in, so now it is as easy as moving a slider... also got VDP2 doing more load sky... (This is running on a Saturn emulator right now) #Retrodev

Been a while sorry, I've been moving the old modelling tool to blender and making a link to the Saturn tool and it works... Woot (you don't have to use the blender plugin if you don't want to, still can import objs) #retrodev #lowploy

Still deving away on my sega Saturn engine... So one thing I am doing is trying to see ways to help FPS and overall rendering... Still rough with these bigger levels (I know this level isn't big...) the Saturn is hard one to code for.... #lowpoly

The new brushes for my sega Saturn tool really looks so clean on the emulator, like hardly any Saturn oddities #solodev

I've been a tad greedy and not been posting on blueskies, but the sega Saturn Dev tool I am working on now can set up basic code free logic and some other goodies. #lowpoly #retro #homebrew

Been making updates: I made my tool feel more like an engine easier to move around and added support for custom OBJs as brushes (textures still need setup). Did some cleanup and it generates trims and updates them when you switch textures. #retro #indie

Some more work done and the brush modes, made a full on preset mode and got the world auto merger to help fuse meshes and keep them quads... Looks very clean in the emulator. #indie

I added some simple visual effects (presets to make life easier) and got around to cleaning up the texture paint menu. I am busy working on the exporter and doing a lot of emulation stuff right now. #retrodev #lowpoly

here are some of the tests of the Saturn tool (of what it makes running on a Sega Saturn Emulator, will test real hardware some other time... (I mean the Jo engine already does lol) this is still a wip the only game code is me moving a round... #RetroDev #solodev

Well thought I would share my little sega Saturn game engine too thing :p Really wanted the old school retro look... Like look at that chunk fade :p #retrodev #dev

Got home to find a new mystery box from @weprintminiatures.com … so I have a Norse warrior, a cat-folk rouge (?), and a fish… thing? Well, it is a mystery box. Where to start? #paintingminiatures #miniatures #fantasy #dnd #warhammer
