Hello there,

I like to make games the hard way using C and OpenGL. Right now I'm trying to ship this boomer shooter before I've spent a decade rewriting it over and over.

Social media hasn't worked out all that well for me so far, maybe this time will be different?

Me neither. C though, that's my favorite.

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT!

The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page!

Stay safe out there y'all

Tried out doing a value study on this cool picture wikipedia has of a fallen tree in Białowieża Forest. I don't know why I find the idea of Primeval Forest so compelling, someday I really need to go visit.

Absolutely insane that people like the guy posting in the photos here are paid so, so much money to burn through employee livelihood and consumer sentiment just to come to the profound discovery that people like services that work well and are even just a little bit customer-friendly.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

I gotta say, this is the best walk cycle I think I've yet done.

Back to working on the final boss for #screenshotsaturday. Was going to do a layer of edge highlights and a bunch of grime but I really like how it looks in this pristine condition so I'm just going to leave it and get to rigging. #gamedev #indiedev #blender

Ugliest room in the building. Nothing but rows of slots.

A few progress snaps of the last level for #screenshotsaturday
Cutting it a bit close to release with this one, but by removing enough details from scope I should get it done on time for release.

A monstrous scaled spider-woman. Her limbless torso rises from where a spider's mouth would be, and all the eight limbs of the spider are elongated, white and gangly, ending in fully functional seven-fingered hands. The head of the monster has incredibly long, white straight silken hair, falling in front of her. The woman has a hybrid face between human, insect and reptilian, with six visible eyes, mandibles around the sharp-teethed mouth, and two curved horns rising to the side of the head, one horn slightly longer than the other.
Behind the spider-woman, the black starry sky, with a waning(waxing?) crescent moon above the spider-witch, framed in a hole at the centre of a massive spiderweb. The picture is completely black and white with the exception of the spiderweb, which is red, slightly fleshy, and irregular. The spider-witch raises two of her limbs to the moon behind her as if she can reach or grasp it, while two other limbs stroke her hair.

A colored sketch of a sword babe leaning on a closely-held greatsword almost as tall as she is. Piercing green eyes stare out at the viewer and voluminous hair cascades down her front and back covering up more of her than her meager clothes: a thin loincloth and a slip of fabric over her chest fastened with leather loops. Behind her is a wispy watercolor-looking background in blue and grey.

The piece was sketched with pencil and colored with a mix of watered down acrylic inks and black tea, some final lines picked out with a felt-tip pen. Though little reference was used for the pose, the face is modeled off of Neri from trueref.io.

Needed to take a break from the crunch to do some art practice. Coloring was done with watered-down acrylic inks and black tea (the latter in many layers). I sketched the pose but the face is modeled on Neri from @trueref.bsky.social

I get that it has a poor opening, but anyone who still thinks Daikatana is the "worst game ever" definitely hasn't played it. There's some really cool stuff going on in that game, and the worst parts have mostly been fixed by fan patches.

Stomy @stomygame.bsky.social · 17d

Really? This whole time I thought it was because it was an OpenGL port of ZDoom, and everything in OpenGL uses that gl* prefix. Maybe that's just how he managed to sneak it in!

Stomy @stomygame.bsky.social · 18d

I've got to try this sometime. I love making tabletop terrain and this is the same skillset!

Arvy @arvy.bsky.social · 18d

I now wonder if they also did their textures from sculpted tablets just like in GC?

Stomy @stomygame.bsky.social · 21d

Took a detour to add some frustum culling, there was literally no occlusion checking at all before. Just culling out offscreen debris and enemy animation blending has made enough of a difference for my aging machine to still manage 144Hz for all the important encounters. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Maybe something will come of this last map after all, I feel like it's finally coming together. Was feeling kind of down this morning but doing some greebling for a few hours tends to cheer me up. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Ever feel that burnout hit you real hard? It's been getting to me, I'm two months out from release and it's a real struggle to get the last little chunk of the game done. I really just want to be done and move on to something new. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev
