busy working on some Spyro-style meshes for my game 💜
sorry if my posts have been a bit samey lately, focusing on world assets before hopping back to NPCs and enemies soon!

what do you think of how it’s looking so far?
and which game world just hits different for you? 👀

Funny thing I learned reading the PaRappa 2 guidebook is that the designers thought "What kind of animal would be good at hairdressing? An octopus, of course! He could hold scissors in his eight hands!", and when they told this to Rodney Greenblatt, they were shocked that he came back with this

I’m in the mood for some hack ’n slash action 👀⚔️

Anyone else love a good stylish combo game?

Indie devs: if you’re making a hack ’n slash (or anything with spicy combat), drop your game below, I wanna see it!!
Gamers: what are your favs?

since ive been reworking the prologue, ive also made some tweaks to its boss fight, the Chieftain.

Its a fairly complex fight for the early game but Jupe is quite overpowered in the prologue

A lot of my updates lately aren’t flashy, just figuring out how things could be neater or make more sense.

It got me thinking…
Devs, what’s the hardest choice you’ve had to make while working on your game?
(Cutting a feature? Changing direction? Starting over?)

Devs, what’s one silly or “not really needed” feature you added — just because it made you happy? 😅

For me, it’s this extra camera control… zoom out the camera, zoom it back in. Totally unnecessary, but it feels nice (and hey, it does have its uses!).

Question for gamers + devs: what’s the first feature/effect you turn off in a new game? 👀

I always disable motion blur straight away (sometimes I turn it back on later… maybe), but it’s the first to go lol. Then I start tweaking everything else.

Hi everyone.

I did want to celebrate 1 year of getting my 2.0 model today, but I had so much on my mind.

No set schedule, it’ll be Sega marathons all week, starting at 2PM EST. I really hope all of you will be there.

Serious question.

Would it be worth it if I spend about $1200 just to get a complete copy of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne for PlayStation?

just testing how the new assets look in-engine 👀
gotta fix a few normals, tweak some UVs, and polish up a couple shaders — but it’s getting there! ✨
