I already have a train and a rocket launcher, so there's no need to use this bug as part of a gameplay element ;)

My budget is only my energy after an hard day of work, so I keep it if it's fun 🙂.

Yes controllers are hard to master. It's a raycast to select the picked object and I'm changing the linear and angular velocity of the rigidbody based on the target point and direction.

Both 😅

So it's a bug in need to fix or a feature I need to remove 🤔

A bonus platform with an Easter egg 🥚.

Over the past few days, I've continued working on the first-person controller and object manipulation. I thought the system was ready until I discovered one last problem.

It's better with rails and a bigger path.🛤️

Reworked the First Person controller with Jolt Physics. ⚡
To test it out, I upgraded the spline system and built a train. 🚂
Now, let's see if the train can carry objects! 📦
Spoiler: Yes! ✅

Back to gameplay stuff. 🎮

Implemented object manipulation in first-person.
It was easier than expected!

It's nice when things just work.
Now I can dive into gameplay mechanics, like puzzles. 🧩

Still polishing the editor UX.🛠️
I reworked the toolbar to make it cleaner. ✨
What do you think of the new layout ?

Yes, it's the name of the crowbar 😅

Building big features can be draining. 🧠
So to take a break, I switch to small QoL improvements on my code.
Lately, I polished the editor UX:
- Reworked the hotkey system⌨️
- Added "Random Color per Object" debug view (inspired by Blender) 🎨

New algorithm : Splitting into a few (seven) pieces and subdivision of each new polygons into 2 or 3 sub-parts

Choose a random point and orientation, then divide the polygon containing that point along the direction.

Attempting to recreate the shattering of glass, first step: dividing the polygons

Thanks Jake.
The dash is important 😆

A brief summary of the evolution of my game engine in 2025
#indiedev #gamedev #gameengine #recap

I finally managed to launch my engine and my latest level (and my engine) on my Steam Deck with a stable 40 FPS. 🎉

Indeed🙂

Thanks, but I was heavily inspired (copied) by Half-Life Alyx atmosphere. Here's the reference ;)

Thanks :)

After replaying a famous FPS, I wondered if my engine could deliver rendering quality similar to other commercial game engine.
So I tried recreating a level, and after two days, here's the result.
What do you think ?

On my engine, SSAO was a post-process on the entire screen.
Now it's an separate pass performed right after the Z-Prepass, allowing me to use AO directly in lighting.
Bye-bye AO on selfillum surfaces.
I've also replaced my SSAO shader with XeGTAO.

I'm using Google Mediapipe.

Playing with face tracking via my webcam to animate a simple 3D model in my game engine.

A month has passed since my last post, but I was on vacation (full disconnection) and then I worked on game systems, and more specifically on NPC (Non Player Characters).
Now they can follow a target with their eyes in a more natural way.

I realized that my cubemap filtering and my IBL (the specular with roughness part) were incorrect, so I recreated the famous PBR spheres with Pisa HDRI to check if everything was OK.
It's seems Ok now.

A new room with a computer and... a twisted corridor ? What is this room ?
