Cleaned up a lot of cruft with portals to make them perform way better, especially when theres multiple close by/in view. Not perfect but theyre useable! last thing to work in is to get audio to 'flow' through them.

inventing a unit like scovilles but for games, where instead of the pain you experience from eating a spicy chili it's the amount of mental anguish you are experiencing from a sense of being compelled to continue playing the game despite wishing you were doing literally anything else

last night somebody reminded me of a time many years ago when I got some game narrative insight from somebody at Valve, so I have now published it in a blog post

recovering from being very depressed these last few weeks, so progress has been slow (also working on stuff I can't show yet)

So here's an art repost from ABYSS X ZERO, with a few adjustments on models + animations since last time!

Hell yeah. Whole system now 100% functional.

The capture rate UI needs final art, and later I'd like to make MODs have a rarity value, but yeah, you can knock an enemy down and take their limbs!

I'm gonna go finally play some Silk Song.

Been chipping away at the dressing of the different levels so here's a quick look along with some ambient music exploration!

I was having the same thoughts in terms of the feel of it. Theres a bit of vibes/feelings i might be missing so far from the world of the original (might just be standard sequel stuff), but there's a lot they've packed into the combat/mechanics now!

After a lot of time spent this weekend, the system is almost completely functional.

It calcs cap chance (based on LV, HP, Dist, Aware) & has a fail state.

In the future, needs more camera angles and animations. Also missing the part where you compare stats afterward.

MGS 3 always felt slightly off to me, jumping into larger/open zones but still holding onto the older kinda isometric camera. The delta controls solve a lot of that for me and surprisingly works without any updates to those old levels! Really wanna go do a refresher on mgs 4 now soon

Jason Miletta @jasonmiletta.bsky.social · Sep 2

Wrapped up MGS delta and still just love that story so much. Went in expecting to be full curmudgeon about the new look (which ya, a lil miss for me but real clean!) and the new control scheme. But I feel like the new control style is darn near there for what i'd want in a modern stealth game!

Even with the remake not being my exact cup of tea with mgs delta, I hope it takes off enough to encourage them to port mgs 4 onto some playable hardware.

Too many cool bits in mgs 4 to lose to old hardware!

Got dialogue boxes all hooked back up for #ScreenshotSaturday. Also fixed that problem where words shift n wrap around as they appear while you're trying to read em.

Can only dream to be able to have the freedom to work on a passion project, no rush, just fun. Super happy for those folks that it sounds like it was just a lot of creating

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make

The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

Excited to combine it with the first move I did earlier — hoping to wrap it up soon !

They really do have the blueprint over there at valve. But really the biggest travesty of deadlock is it being a moba and so many folks are gonna miss out on some incredible work. I could gush for days about the characters alone!

iby @burgeroise.bsky.social · Aug 19

new deadlock chars look great but also they really do still have the Secret Formula J at valve to create Jermas
