The more I share my game, the more I get sent this fucking video... 🤦

Meet your new family

Try not to get them killed

I categorized it in my mind as "coming out way in the future" and now that's now, damn

hmmm... what's the story here...?

nevermind the floating man

These books rule so fucking hard and I can't talk to anyone in my life about them, it hurts so good

Somebody Stop Me!

I can't resist making more & more floppy physics based props for my horror game!

#gamedev #indiegames #horrorgames

arent we all

Hard to say without having played, but maybe if you're trying to avoid the "gotta save this" mentality maybe just have it go on automatically when you get it and have players strategize their moves so it pops at the right moment in each fight?

thanks. really easy effect to do, too. maybe I'll post about it later

Why Didn't I Do This Sooner?!

Now when you open a package, it's label is visible on the empty box off to the side.
No need to reseal, check the label, and open it up again to continue checking out the goods

oh fffffuck the VIBE!

I Can't Stop Myself 📖🔪

Love making the props feel real & tangible to the point of being able to sit and fidget with them

#gamedev #indiegames #horrorgame

For sure! A lot of the time, players can appreciate things they don't consciously notice

I definitely didn't spend two days making sure you could flop both halves of a book around... but look at this! 📖

Still a bit of a WIP, but the goal is to make most objects feel this tactile. Is it overkill? Probably. Will players notice? I hope so.

Shot me right in the heart with that one, damn

The invisible harm AI has done to career artists

Crazy how fast a our minds get used to how shitty and broken so much of our wip games are in the mid-game

This guard post was a 5-minute job that now has more atmosphere than the rest of the wing combined.

Definitely a "happy accident" keep. Now I gotta figure out how to make the rest of the wing look this good

More vibe-plotting & lighting doodles. Much happier with the color scheme here now.

LinkedIn is one of those things I never got into and I've never once felt like I was missing out on anything

Good job, Albert!

Not all too unusual a response, given the input stimuli

I'm not sure but I think what you're asking is why project an image of the room onto a plane with distortion on it vs a box with no perspective distortion?
If so, the answer is simply that the distortion is less math for your computer than the extra faces. Especially if there's 100's of rooms

It's a good question. In this case it's waaaaaaay more performant because I'm just distorting a jpeg based on what angle you're viewing it from. If these were modeled geo your GPU would be doing all sorts of math multiple times over regarding each vertex, materials, textures, lighting, shadows, etc.

Yeah I think they're pretty neat

Yeah, it's a pretty common trick but my lizard brain loves implementing it

It's all a lie.

Distant inmate cells don't exist. It’s just interior mapping on flat planes. Just a .jpg and some code.

Depressing for the player, hopeful for the GPU.

Be honest, could you tell it was a flat plane before I told you?
