Happy #wishlistwednesday everybody. I recently released the teaser trailer for my game and I've had a couple people ask me about the music in it, so I've uploaded the full version here:

Birthday today! Still working on my game as much as I can, things have been busy. Going to have another devlog out near the end of September, and hopefully an official trailer as well.

Another theme from SCAVENGER ZERO; this one from the first major boss fight. It's the longest track in the game because it's all three phases + a transition between 2 and 3 in one upload.

Armored Core: Verdict Day appreciation post! It's my personal favourite of the franchise. I've added urban environments to my game recently and with it, I've also added a wall jumping ability inspired by AC:VD. Still WIP!

More updates on the dialogue writer! Added A settings menu that will toggle certain UI fields when writing your dialogue, this should make it possible to customize the tool to some extent without having to write any code!

My game is almost to 100 wishlists! For today's #motivationmonday, here's yet another track from the game's OST. I'm working on some cool hub world stuff as well, which I'll be showing off later this week.

Some improvements to the game's mech customization system! I've added icons and highlights for the part you are actively customizing. I also improved the user interface a bit. Still have a few bugs to iron out though.

Another track for SCAVENGER ZERO, composed by @hydr0gene.bsky.social. I'm going to try to post bits of the OST bi-weekly if I can. There is a LOT of it, so the uploads should last up until the game's launch!

Sorry for the silence, it's been a VERY rough year for me. I wanted to make a post thanking everyone for 50 wishlists. It's a small amount, but it means a lot.

Progress-wise, here's some OST composed by @hydr0gene.bsky.social

AI absolutely has it's uses, and that's a good one. I've been mainly peeved by generative AI and how morally grey it is.

And god, the Unity forums... I hate when you search something up and the top result is a post from like 7 years ago with no actual answers, or the answer being in a dead link.

And take anything that UNITY says with a grain of salt. They've been pushing AI hard as hell in recent times.

AI is completely soulless. There's no creative process, no expression or intent. Just a product. Unfortunately, that's how a lot of corpos view art.

I want to be proud of what *I* create, the process of making games is a major part of why I do it. Pumping out AI slop wouldn't be rewarding for me.

Yesterday I did some work on the snow planet. I also finally reworked quadrupedal mecha, making them a bit easier to control!

This week I was hit by layoffs at my gamedev job of 4 years. I haven't felt this depressed before, but I can't give up yet.

My solo project's Steam page is up now. Are you a mecha or roguelike fan? Wishlist & Follow.
