Warning: Extreme flashing lights
Felt inspired after going to some music events. Have nearly lost my mind making this and playtesting it for the last 8 hours.

Found this Greek design thesis about spatial experience in video game environments. They mention my game Solastalgia, @moshelinke.bsky.social Fugue in Void, and @limassefive.bsky.social NaissanceE as inspirations for their research project. Very cool.

I'm experimenting with the idea of adding the option to make this a shared experience.

I've always wanted to learn Blender so this is a good motivation. Thanks everyone for the continued support. You can wishlist the game here store.steampowered.com/app/3215280/...

Project TORI will be delayed significantly while I learn Blender extensively so I can create original assets. Would love to hire a 3D artists, but there's just not much funding in games to make that happen. Grateful for what I have been given to make a prototype. Next step is learning a new skill.

Soft announcement. My next ::ephemera game will be highway::ephemera where you will traverse a vast network of roads. Will feature original atmospheric soundscape by Greg Nunn (Glacial Anatomy) who provided music for ocean::ephemera

My friend gave a presentation at Tokyo Indies about his game Doom Spiral which is inspired by gnarly skeleton memes. I met him at Tokyo Indies over a year ago and we've been good friends since. He'll be at @gaemz.bsky.social meetup Tokyo on the 29th to talk about his magical shader skills.

Found a nice placeholder crown model on sketchfab. Eventually will be replaced with an original 3D model based on a moodboard I'm building

I originally planned on making large open areas, but frustrations with the Unity terrain system made me down scope it for what I think is the better. I now prefer horse sequences to be short linear vignettes, similar to the game Promesa which I found inspiring.

An environment test. Turns out a light flickering bug I was spending all night trying to fix was just a Unity editor bug. Doesn't exist in the build. Reminder to do continuous build testing.

I'm considering using unconventional camera angles for the horse controller. It could work. (warning for horse fans, wonky animation asset is for testing purposes)

Was playing this ps2 game called Urban Chaos. There are fire fighters that never put out fires. Reminds me of Hardly Working by Total Refusal. NPCs that do a simulacra of work, trapped in an endless loop of non-productive behavior.

This weekend I went to an isolated beach and stared at the ocean for the whole day. I came home and worked on this scene more. The game is becoming more like a place of digital rest for me. It's very peaceful. This is something I'm making for myself first, but I hope others will be able to enjoy it.

Getting confident that I can get a prototype of TO:RI finished this year. Currently can be played from start to finish. Polishing it is going to be brutal. Almost all assets need to be replaced and there's a lot of optimization that needs to be done. But I'm really happy with how far it's all come.

Playing around with game discovery tool @ludocene.bsky.social and it's got some pretty solid recommendations based on what I liked so far.

Worked on a drunk effect system. Uses a bunch of preset depth of field focal length values that gradually change with each drink. Still a lot of fine tuning to do with the values (plus need to add shaky cam).

Found 40+ at a bookoff! All on one shirt so not sure if this counts but it's a lot of faces.
