Taking it RIGHT to the wire, I finished the hospital chapter today and sent it to friends to playtest. Still needs a lot of polish, but it's coming along. Happy New Year!

Oh hi! My game is 40% off for the Quebec Games Celebration! It's funny, it's sad, it got 100% positive reviews and it won *some* awards. Give it a look!

Sneak peak for the upcoming Physical Edition I made. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I will post the entire physical edition. Just working on bigger projects. But wanted to share this. I made a canvas slip cover and it looks and feels so damn good. It’s my first canvas cover so a few mistakes.

A couple years ago I picked up a big box copy of Myst 3 at a thrift store thinking “surely this won’t be habit forming” and boy that was inaccurate.

I ported my GGJ video prototype into my FPS test project pretty quickly! I had to modify the camera in blender a bit but that wasn't as scary as I expected. I think this could be a pretty cool co-op asymmetric multiplayer game? That would be a big project!

Just a creepy tech demo using rendering masking. You're in a subway with other riders and a thermal camera. It can see things that aren't there. Or are they?

If your FPS doesn't have a shotgun I don't want to play it.
Work keeps me traveling so I haven't been able to do any personal gamedev for a couple weeks. But next weekend is GGJ which will be fun!

Not as nice looking as the neon lights, but it shows off the animation stepper a little better, and some progress I've made on the controller, and UI.

Hopefully a GIF does a better job showing off the graphics. I put everything into a cyberpunk environment, just to see how it'd look. Not too bad! Absolutely not sure what to do with this though, but I added shooting today.

Just experimenting with some FPS vibes today. I implemented stepped animation so the weapon only animates at 12fps but everything else runs at a normal frame rate.

Merry Christmas!
My gift for everyone is a Unity package containing everything I've made for Ravenfield Vanilla+ so far. Messily organized and includes some fairly subpar asset work, but feel free to use this as you see fit (apart from just reselling).

I think my retro post process is reaching it's final form. Now you specify the target resolution and it handles the resolution scaling internally. The dithering is now pixel perfect. It's also an uber shader for better perf.
