Working on a cozy game for fun.
It is hard to strike a balance between creating deep, versatile systems and systems that are shallow enough so that you can actually fill them with content.
Side note: Color tables are the best thing ever. Seasons are just one palette shift away!

The #N64 just received a short #homebrew from "HailToDodongo" who is a developer known for pushing the boundaries of the N64
"Cathode Quest 64"
running on his own "Pyrite64" engine
The real-time light refraction is especially impressive

Thought it'd be fun to animate the flight stick, but then one thing led to another and another and another so now:
Flight stick, throttle, nozzle lever, pedals, gear lever, and gear indicator lights all have animation based on what you're doing.

In MENACE, you are the commander of the strike cruiser TCRN Impetus, stranded in the backwater Wayback System.
Your ship has been heavily damaged, and you'll need to slot new Operational Capability Improvements (O.C.I.) to repair it. Choose from three categories: Electronics, Armament, and Hull.

So, my little ps1 game is about Minneosta, rebellion, and aliens. And all the emotions I've been feeling for the past month or so. Please support my work.

On July 2nd, 1863, brave volunteers from the 1st Minnesota Infantry charged a far superior unit of Confederates at the Battle of Gettysburg.
The gambit saved the Union.
In January 2026, Minnesotans understand our task is the same: buy time for reinforcements, that we might preserve our liberties.

Starting to form more of a game with camera work. I'm realizing how smooth floating calculations are, and that a real ps1 not having that logic makes a whole world of difference.

Thunder Helix - working on a 'Supply Drop' scenario mission. For that I've needed to add a new kind of trigger area that can detect things placed into it. Seems to be working 👍 #gamedev #flightsim
