Experimenting with native analog gamepad support in #OpenBioForge! 🎮 Let me know your button layout ideas in the comments (keep in mind fixed cameras, and over a dozen attack types).

It's ALIVE! Good progress on "AI" for NPCs. First question from my 9yo - what happens if you turn off his cell bars whilst he's alive?... well... nothing... but we can fix that now by modding the script in C#! 👇 What would you change / fix? #BioForge #retrogames #retrogaming

#BioForge is a highly scripted game, and so after reversing, much of the effort has been reimplementing the proprietary script API. Of the 188 subroutines and functions used by the f1.01 scripts, there are only 43 remaining to be implemented! #devlog #retrogames #retrogaming
