If something's shoved right against the mirror, a bit of geometry from the "reflection world" might poke through. I discovered this by making the debug penguin crouch in front of the mirror. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

when I was depressed last year I decided I had to force myself out of it by making something new. this is a collection of drawings of people I've seen while out and about. you can rotate them as if they're all part of one head. and you can read things too ellipsea.itch.io/drawing-from... #godot

a core reason why older games are highly regarded is bc a lot of those teams were never referencing games. they were referencing hiking in the woods, chatter on the radio, the sound of waves crashing, how an oil painting blends if you are a dev, I urge you to find inspiration in other mediums

graphics beyond the ps4 were a mistake. none of this shit is sustainable anymore. every single Big Game costs one billion dollars to make and has to make 5 billion to be profitable and it also costs $100 nobody has and also needs to have an infinite postgame and also is forgotten in a week

I'm slowly approaching something that feels like a reasonable save system... data is stored as JSON-like structures, with per-datatype validation tables to validate that stuff has reasonable values and all mandatory values actually are in the files when loading them. #gamedev #indiedev #JRPG

Untitled Mech Game - Fog now works on terrain objects. In this custom built game engine, fog is a bit unusual. Rather than traditional "multiply by a fog color", it uses 32 palettes which are self-referential to a 256 master palette. This gives a subtle posterize style effect which I like. #gamedev

Things that grow on trees - found on a recent walk along the River Wear from Durham City - crabapples, conkers, Norwegian maple seeds, Ramalina lichen, beech nuts and sweet chestnuts. Watercolour painting. Seems to have been a good year for the beech and apples, less so for oaks. 🐑 #botany #lichen

originally i was just gonna do a texture like this, which tbh i still really like ultimately im just gonna do whatever fits the style of the project more, but thats something ill figure out later

I made a system for VRChat where players can grab and pose your arms, legs, and head unlike other limb grab systems, it uses IK so limbs won't be bent at weird angles it also supports OSC Leash and lets you move your view with your avatar's head you can grab it here: jinxxy.com/normalizedcr...

the funniest part is he asked for n64 bomberman, we booted up 64, and then he was like "oh not that one the one with the good song" so he was 100% thinking about redial (but bought 64 and 2nd attack alongside hero anyway)

I've revisited NES Metroid the most for ideas which gave the inspirations on allowing you to tackle certain levels in whichever order you want as long as you have certain upgrades. So it was kinda sad seeing people tend to not finish the demo cause only close friends knows about this stuff. </3

If you're serious about game development or design, PLAY OLD GAMES I can't overstate how many good ideas are sitting there waiting to be discovered. Sometimes it's not even stuff that was there at the time, it's only there now looking from a modern perspective.
