I took a little diversion from my usual TechnoVisual Space and ArcVenture devs this week and tried out a little prototype hover race game for mobile, web and desktop - created in #RogueEngine ( #threejs ) using Kenney's amazing space assets - much fun! 😎 #indiedev #solodev

Sunday morning complete re-write to add first person elevator mechanism to move between rooms in the space stations #indiedev #indiegamedev #threejs #RogueEngine @technovisualspace.bsky.social - this works in #VR too and it's looking pretty groovy 😎

This is the frame registration - the fly-wheel turns with a stepper motor and contacts with a piece of copper tape - if it hasn't reached the copper tape then the motor advances another step until the green led lights - then we're good to go with the frame capture.

Captured using a Raspberry Pi with Picamera (HQ) in HD from a 16mm cine film nearly 80 years old! The film runs at 24 frames per second but I have upsampled it to 60fps - the sound was captured separately using an optical sound read head on a Bell and Howell Filmosound.

This is part of a quick fly-through in VR to give you an idea of how things are coming together.
If you want to get early access to the game and tutorials about how it's being made. #threejs #RogueEngine

Replaced the '4K' camera in my 16mm cine scanner with an HQ Raspberry Pi cam - getting much better results now - getting quite happy with the output now. #16mmfilm #retrovideo #16mm #cinefilm #raspberrypi #opencv #python

Still need to sort out the finer points of sprockets and rotations but the first output is looking promising 😀🤓

I love it when a plan comes together 🤪 - 16mm cine film scanner project to convert movies to HD mp4 - converted Bell&Howell TQI projector using #RaspberryPi to control everything with python script using #opencv to capture and encode #16mm #retrocine #RPI #retrofilm #rpihack

OK - I think the texture resolutions are a bit better now and I've got a security barrier actuator working - the idea is that this will be controlled with your security pass (which happens to go walkies in one storyline) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #threejs #RogueEngine #b3d

I'm just going to try uploading that again with a different encoding setting as that video seems very munged - this video is encoded using the "discord" setting and is 1/4 the MB
