Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

Better late than never.

Recently took part in Steve Lee’s Level Design Jam and I chose to make a new level for Slipgate Crisis based on the theme of Escape.

FLY2K is a skill based butterfly flying simulator with simple but challenging controls. Its inspired by early VR and 2000s era games with chonky polygons and a Dreamcast era jungle beat. Sound on!

I'm making a non-Euclidean Boomer Shooter called Slipgate Crisis that uses Portals and Gravity shenanigans to create some trippy maps.

Survived MIGW25, and now to make a complicated Map for Steve Lee's Level Design Jam 11.

Might have bitten more than I can chew with this map but see how we go.

Beyond Sunset represents a collaborative effort from too many people to name in a single post. It began as a solo project in 2015. Today, it's a first person shooter made with love by a bunch of extraordinarily talented people. #indiedev

That's right! it's me, Doc, and I'm here to tell you all about guns in first person shooters, hopefully helping you be way more creative in your weapon design by breaking 'em down into the basics

that's right, it's FPS Design 102: da guns

Took a while but finally thought of a Alt Fire for the pistols.
A mix of Unreal & Devil May Cry. While you have Ebony, you don't get access to Ivory straight away so find a replacement pistol ASAP until then. Player arms TODO at some point.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.
Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

More Examples. Desperately need to replace the placeholder player model and animations.

That said, these screenshots here have convinced me to add it as a feature down the line.
