I like the video game, the creation process and the playing of it.

PHASE/SYNK is the new game title I’m working on. Here are some screenshots from the first section the Data Spire level.

Just over a year ago I got my new PC, a ASUS ROG NUC and it’s a dream machine 💰 and started to learn Blender and Godot. It’s been a long road. I had a lot of failed starts and stops and we’ve settled on a complete remake of my original Possession games. So

Technically I completely restarted the story, with an entire new world, a fascinating back story, a new threats and new characters and abilities. I won’t reveal too much of the story, but it’s crazy rollercoaster ride. Here are some screenshots of the new game below…

And I’ve already fixed quite a few bugs after I posted this video. Floating fix, players can now push other characters out of the way, fixed generative music probability matrix, started a water shader for the fountain, adjusted the collectible and gears.

The more I use Godot Engine and Blender, the more I realise what an absolute masterpiece Dreams PS4/5 actually is. It’s so polished and so easy to setup a working game. It’s taken me months and months and I’m nowhere even near a system where my companions are following the player without bugs.

For my game Gemini Rising, I played with several split/Gemini themes for the cover/menu - two locations, two characters (one in shadow), two emotions (safe vs thrilling) and in Dreams, it all had to be done in-camera with two actual “environments” cut in half and smooshed together in the middle.

Pluggin my Dreams game here too… Get ready to Warp for an Epic Space Action Adventure with Chia’xa and AQUA her AI companion. Explore the surface of the Ice Planet Vetrych X and go deep underground to find an ancient artefact and uncover the truth of the Gemini Rising. youtu.be/-VJe4TSsTzc?...

I made another one with two ice textures using the default baked mask render options and o also did a quick tree stump.

Finally figured out how to do PBR masking in UCUPaint (powerful but confusing) which is now so much easier than doing a full material nodes setup and you can bake it easily for Godot! Layer 1 is moss PBR with a manually painted mask over layer 2 the rock PBR. #blender #ucupaint

Testing more Blender -> Godot workflows. 1) Mark assets in a blender file 2) Store in your asset library 3) Stamp them once 4) ALT+D linked duplicate, then scatter with rotate, scale, move. 4) GLTF export 5) Godot import GLB which detects only 3 meshes due to linked duplicates. Yah!

Finally put some stuff together in Godot. Blender environment (-col)+ basic projection spotlights with baked GI probes + one keyframed animated dynamic light using + fixed overhead smooth camera controller + my robot with run and jump animations targeted. Phew.

I added sci-fi two way opening doors. Looks like Godot is really the easiest part switching from Dreams. It’s Blender that’s the current killer for me. I just can’t seem to texture.

On my game Gemini Rising Dreams game in the final cutscene, Nephrendil created this entire palace section, redid the entire environment around, added extra lighting, detailing on the floors and walls, pillars, etc. — the whole nine yards. She’s just amazing. Time we get her on PC!
