black screen is out on Dreamcast and PC now!! There's a 10% launch week discount, so go check it out :) PC: store.steampowered.com/app/4063290/... Dreamcast: captkuso.itch.io/black-screen #homebrew #dreamcast #indiegame #pixelart

Kinda rough still, but I have level files loading via blender->gltf, which I can then parse for colliders and spawn nodes and things and load them on the Dreamcast. It'd be nice to get a better system for automatically making the collision (only cubes lol), but honestly probably easier than 2d was..

Man I am woefully unprepared to get a warning for the biggest earthquake ever recorded when I'm having lunch. Ran to my sofa next to two huge windows instead of hiding under the big heavy table I was sat at...

Just figuring out the approach, so this is gonna change completely, but doing the Jet Set Radio-style modelling thing is super fun

guess I'm making pico-8 games now

What a guy.

I wrote a post explaining exactly why the Dreamcast will prompt you for the date/time even with a healthy battery, which has puzzled many of us for years! It's not your battery: the Dreamcast's hidden 30-day clock check dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewto...

I don't know if I can put into words how strongly I feel about what the things people I'm working with on this project are doing, and how motivating it is. Even the glitches are ART.

They killed the StreetPass Salesbunny for pulling this type of stuff

Looking up clothing reference for a 3d model, and I... I think I want to buy a Soviet VKK flight suit...

NEW GAME: DIG, a short narrative game in Decker about digging yourself out. 🪏 Made for the Trans Masc Protag Jam 2026. buff.ly/ehPK7aP Check out all the entries here: buff.ly/aik2qyF

I don't really know if I can explain why, but programming is daytime work, and 3d modeling/animation is nighttime work, best done in a dark room at 2am.

Making the ugliest mockups of all time using Google Slides

Best game retrospective series on YouTube just dropped an episode I've been waiting months for, and I'm out of the house this evening 😭 Gonna end up getting home and watching the whole four and a half hours until 3am.. youtu.be/35SKawn2SDI?...

Realised that I can print my own Game Boy cart shells and oh man it's never been more tempting to pick that GB Studio project back up than it has been the last week or so.

Wow, a Daggerfall MMO, in a "hand-rolled renderer" and "translated line by line" from Daggerfall Unity, and made in only a few weeks you say? Surely there's nothing important the solo dev would have left out of the webpage they're soliciting donations on!

Every now and then a switch will flip in my brain and I'll become singularly focused on something I've never really thought about before. Anyway check out the DDR earrings I made.

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

@captkuso.bsky.social at @tokyoindies.com talking about Alien Taxi and jamming on the Sega Dreamcast. Loved the talk (and the stealing from past projects 👀) captkuso.itch.io/alien-taxi

Mostly been doing other things this week, but hey look at my player walking on a ramp without bouncing all over the place and collisions being a nightmare there! (Up next is enemy behaviour, so ehhh probably a couple of weeks before anything else exciting to show) #gamedev

Give me Bionic Commando, I'm already like halfway there.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard put out an album that's all modular synth stuff, their first in over a year, it's a banger, and it took me 3 weeks to find out about it 😭 kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/album/alien-...

Might fuck around and make a Spider-Man-like
