Proof that AI is becoming powerful. For the last 20 years I'd been trying to figure out what a specific TV show in the UK was. Chat GPT finally found it for me! Galloping Galaxies! See, I'm not crazy after all. Not in the slightest! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2GC...

It's really tough to see the first studio I worked at treated like this. All the layoffs today are a severe mistake that shouldn't be happening, but I feel especially bad for Rare today.
Rare’s long-in-development original IP, Everwild, has been cancelled, sources have told VGC.

The original IP had been in development in some form for over a decade…

It bothered me that the eyeball could see itself, so I fixed it up. Much better now #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

What do you think? Should I keep the eyeball, polish it up, and add to the body horror on this game? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

"Do you even lift bro?" I added bulging biceps to my stretchy arm, though I'm not sure muscles grow outside of the body... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

Realized my player's outline shader hadn't worked for a while, so brought it back and made a few tweaks so the outlines are thicker closer to the camera. #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

Why not one more iteration while I'm at it! A bit of Perlin noise goes a long long way to helping make those muscles grow #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

Continuing to take my stretchy arms to weird and winding places. I think I can go weirder still! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

I've now given the stretchy arm its own camera for some bizarre reason. If you think this is disorienting now, just wait till the next thing I do! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

I must be in a nostalgia mode. I rediscovered an old game I made on iPhone a few years ago, and it still works and is still fun (I think). It was hard work modelling and animating all those characters too! Shame it never took off... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwlP...

I've been playing around with hand IK so the hands don't slide when you sneak along walls. Not perfect, but a good start. I love how it just makes you feel connected to the world you're playing in. Also you have a gun now! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

I just rediscovered an old #webcomic I made 15 years ago and I've been tempted to resurrect it. Looking back I'm genuinely surprised at how not terrible my art was! #indiecomics #comics #comicart

Modified my light system to handle lights of different shapes and falloffs. I probably won't use star shaped lights. I did that mostly for a bit of fun! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Taking a break from lighting and shader code to model a gun. Never thought I'd ever attempt to make something like that but here we go!

There's something mesmerizing about watching scene culling in action. I've tweaked my system to cull lights and entire rooms to give me lots of flexibility in the future. All kinds of crazy tricks going on here! #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps

The problem with working on one feature for a long time is it can be hard to show progress updates until you have something new. So nothing new to show this week unfortunately

I've been improving my shaders for multiple lights and I'm pleased with how robust it is. And through it all the stealth meter still works! You wouldn't believe how much I had to hack Unity's lighting system #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #unity3d #madewithunity #indiegames

I'm really trying to go for that Mega City One comic book look, so I added a few more crazy buildings and lots more clouds for them to poke out of #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #madeinunity #retrofps

I should be making a trifle, but I got sidetracked making fluffy clouds in a proto cyberpunk cityscape instead #indiedev #madewithunity #unity3d #indiegames

I'm feeling a lot happier about the look of my game now. Going for more vibrant colours and it feels more and more like a comic book every day! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #madeinunity

Improved the outlines so they're not just black and white anymore. Feels a bit more natural and comic booky now. #madewithunity #indiegames #indiedev #unity3d

Decided to have ago at my FPS idea. Right now, just exploring colour palettes and textures to find something that feels just right. At least my main character doesn't look like a traffic light anymore #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev
