I disappeared for quite a while, but here there is a prototype I worked on for the past few months. It's a game based on rotating the camera to solve environmental puzzles.

Any thoughts?

Me💚 vs a ML agent ❤️ in a pong match. This was a little fun project that allowed me to experiment with the ML agents Unity Package.
The training lasted about 15 minutes in self-play mode.

Here there is a demonstration of the complete gravity system 😊

This project could be improved in many ways, for example, by adding a force to stick the player to the ground. Now, if it is a little too fast, it may start orbiting!

Spline support added for my Super Mario Galaxy's gravity replica! Now even donut planets can be recreated! 🔥🔥🔥

Decided to reproduce the Super Mario Galaxy's local gravity system. I saw a video on youtube talking in general terms about this topic, and it inspired me to try to replicate it in Unity. Tomorrow I'll complete the player movement.

Expanding the series of tools I'm developing for my prototype

Now I can visualize the link between the buttons and the connected moving platforms

Made a quick tool to visualize the path and "objective" position for a moving platform.

After years of procrastination, I finished my personal website / portfolio.

Maybe years is a little too dramatic, but finally I decided to bite the bullet and put the word "end" on this project.

I wanted to take a deep breath and reset, but this week was a mess just like the previous ones... I think I'm doomed to crunch till the end of the year ⚰️

Now that MGW is finished, I can finally take a deep breath and stop rushing for everything I'm doing.

I will dedicate this week to healing a bit from this stressful period, maybe catching up with some subjects I left behind at university, and planning for the next months of my life.

"do not re-invent the wheel"

I feel that this statement applies to expert game developers only, while it's much better for beginners and intermediate game developers to do everything themselves.

In this way, you are forced to learn your weaknesses and thus get better faster.

SURVIVED TO MILAN GAMES WEEK! This was an amazing opportunity to meet fellow game developers and play indie games demos and vertical slices.

Thank you to anyone who played the demo of Whispering Walls 💕💕💕

Tomorrow I'll join my team at Milan Games Week !

First time I go to this exhibition, thus I'm pretty excited! (and the train strike tomorrow night is just the cherry on top... 😊🔫)

Mmmmmm idk, I don't think that Balatro GOTY will be a thing, neither Black Mith nor ER: SOTE...

Among the other three.... Maybe Astrobot?

Video summary: Masahiro Sakurai is superhuman.

256 videos in just a few months, all because he had some spare time between finishing one project and starting the next...

He’s one of those rare individuals who instantly ascends to the Olympus of game development.

Another post about the development of Whispering Walls 👻

This is an example of a dialogue tree present in our game.
We used Yarn Spinner as a strong foundation, then we implemented new functions where it was necessary.

Me right now, after realizing that the last 3 hours of work were completely useless because the code was already written in another script that I had completely forgotten about...

This GDC conference is pure gold.

It's funny how everyone struggles with physics, Nintendo included ^^

After finishing the game I'm currently working on, I'm planning to learn Godot.

I've already tried the engine, but never dug deep into it.

That's why I decided to dedicate the last part of 2024 at working on my secret project 👀 and learing a new game engine

Okay, this video is HUGE. The speaker is very easy to follow and his tips are incredibly valuable.

If I had to synthetize this video in just one sentence: make the action happen towards the camera.
