Inspired by TWINE on PS1, I added oldschool lensflares to #DERELIKT. Because Unitys default lensflares aren't supported by HPSXRP, these are custom made and extra authentic. ✨

Fun dev trivia: before Into the Unwell became the third-person roguelite it is today, it actually started life as a baseball puzzle game prototype called No Country for Old Hen ⚾🐔

The personnel at S3PF Command come from all walks of life. Some have a complicated history with Klo, while others kind of resent her, and then there's June... The sweetest lady in the whole organisation.

If you've played the demo, you might have already seen Mister Grey, but we've yet to show the Dream Eater he serves in-game.
This year I'm hoping that we'll finally get to reveal our cast of villains in their own introductory cutscene...

My stance is that there is no such thing as "pre-concept", it's just different stages of polished concept art.
My concepts looks like this, then I go straight to 3D.
The "concept art" that ends up in the art book that people are familiar with is usually made or polished after the game is finished.

The bonus with developing PBR for a 14 year old console is that my games will run on anything now and still look okay!
You know, since no-one can afford RAM or GPUs anymore. 🤓
Not doing a full thread now, but here's a little video of my character shader.
