I’ve just released a substantial video essay:
“How Music Mirrors Game Design in Taiji, Trifoil, Braid, Patrick’s Parabox & Other Games”

LINK IN THE REPLIES!

Finally fixed a very annoying bug that has been plaguing me for months!

Here's the story:
Playtesters have been reporting that loading a save file sometimes leads to buggy behavior, like objects disappearing or trigger zones not activating. (1)

Working on some tooling to help visualize the world graph in Superspective, here's my progress! I have dynamically-sized level nodes, with Rect edge-to-edge directional (or bidirectional) arrows indicating the levels that should be loaded from each active scene.

Superspective 0.2.2 is now live! This patch is largely stability-focused, with a complete rewrite of some of the fundamental physics of the game to more consistently handle the non-Euclidean geometry in Superspective. There's a new secret to find as well...

Investigating a bug with portals in Superspective, stepping through the code in my debugger, and it leads me to a bit of code I wrote -- with this comment written above it.

Welp. I guess that tracks lol

💡I think I finally fixed the "portal wiggling" bug that existed in Superspective, where players could rapidly cross over the portal threshold and back again to sneak onto the backsides of portals. This would often leave them either stuck behind the portal, or falling out of the world. No more!

Working on some fake volumetric light effects for Superspective, what do you think?

Version 0.2.0:
- New level Locus Maximus added
- Invert Y-axis controls added
- Various performance improvements
- Too many bugfixes to list, some visual and some related to save files

What's next:
- Perf improvements followup
- More bugfixes

Made some improvements to the glow around interactable objects. New version handles corners of objects much better and is a bit thicker and easier to see in general. This was something minor that's bothered me for a bit but never felt important enough to prioritize, I'm glad I finally did!

Superspective Steam store page is live! Please wishlist it if you're interested, and share it with anyone you think may be interested as well. Thank you!!

Proud to show off the new official art + logo for Superspective! Thanks to the wonderful artists at Red Potion Studios for helping give a professional touch to the game😄

Just uploaded Superspective Playtest 0.0.10 to the itch page! Mostly contains bugfixes for some really bad crashes and softlocks that many people were experiencing, and a link to the Discord on the menu.

Someone made a video on my game! And encountered lots of bugs lol

I think I probably coded like 7 or 8 hours today working on a revamped save system that will drastically reduce the amount of manual code (and thus room for manual errors) I need to write for every script in the game.

Here's what a typical boilerplate I would need to write looked like before:

Working with an art team to develop the Steam capsule art for Superspective, and I'm torn on a subtle detail. Want to collect some feedback about whether the text (other details aside) grabs the attention more/looks better WITH an outline, or WITHOUT?

Trying to find some good screenshots to use for the Steam page that I'm working on. Here are some of the ones I'm thinking of using: (Pt. 3)

Never used Bluesky (or Twitter, for that manner) before! Excited to try it out :)
