This room looks pretty much like they will look in the final game, 'A Doc in the Stark'. Lighting is dynamic. And this runs on a 486! #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev #pointandclick #screenshotsaturday

Did you know I'm making a retro adventure game engine and a game on top of it? Soon, I'll release a little demo of the Legpain engine, also giving a taste of the future 'A Doc in the Stark' game. Made on and for MS-DOS, ported to modern systems. Nice pseudoscripting. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Late Godot 4.x releases including 4.8 feel like an inflection point where the engine is starting to feel like a dependable tool

Quite unsettling, isn't it?

My game for the @MsDOSClub contest, still in quite an early stage, running on an actual 486DX2@66! 🤩 (CRT👿) I'm not sure about the teletype effect for this kind of game (kinda point'n'click adventure). What do you think? #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Proud to have been in this journey so far, and looking forward to walking the path ahead!

To be traditional, I was even building on DOS. DJGPP is very slow there. 🐢 Now (still on RHIDE), the GCC.EXE invoked is a helper that proxies over to a script in WSL 2, that runs the native DJGPP. ⚡ Paths, stdout, etc. are adapted along the roundtrip. #retrogamedev #gamedev

I love modern technology where usability matters.

Dr. Homes is here again. Asset import pipeline perfected (better color matching + dithering, to give some "texture" and sense of detail even to very flat-lit scenes). Character controller improved (no partial steps + smooth rotation.) Frame rate will improve. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Let me introduce to you the one and only Dr. Homes! Still in a placeholder room. Displayed in two different lighting environments. Around 15 fps on the target hardware (more than enough, by the way.) #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

I want to keep the process very classic, so (given I can't model a proper human being) I've taken a model from a pack made for the good old 3D Studio for DOS (not MakeHuman, not even Poser). Mind you, I'm rigging it myself for Bones Pro! #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Our GodotCon Boston talk is now up as a blog post: how we doubled Vulkan frame rates on the Quest 3 Years of rendering work for Meta and Google, contributed upstream to Godot. Foveated rendering, multi-threaded rendering, spec constants, FP16, & content tips you can use today tinyurl.com/fdhn437u

Added higher fidelity on key areas (note sphere surroundings). Also, now white and black fog can be used. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Well, this is what I was talking about! Remember, it's running on a 486DX2@66 (emulated with 86Box). #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

I'm very close to showing the character-in-lighting-environment I announced, but in the meantime I wanted to share quite an amusing piece of code. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Summertime, but you can still develop for DOS on DOS. PS: I'm showing something new from my game for the @msdosclub.bsky.social contest soon. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

The Foundation has been pragmatical and wise here. Idealism or moralism would have just been a play to the gallery or a pie in the sky. Sadly, AI is already moralized (until one day when it'll stop being so for most) and any speak about it will create sides.

Ravensworth lobby environment for my game Psych Rift. #GameDev #Godot

Taking a look to see if some test character has been written out correctly to the custom format this game's engine will use. As a kid, I used to inspect data files of games, fascinated by them. Now I'm the sorcerer. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Checking this thing out about clock cycles taken by certain instructions. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Trying with a cluster size of 16x16. I'd say something is not working as expected. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

By the way, I've hunt this naughty subcluster down. It was a subtle overflow issue. I'm using as few bits as possible everywhere and the budget was too low here. I've added a superfast bit trick clamp and it's solved now. #retrogamedev #gamedev #indiedev

My GodotCon 26 talk recording is finally live! The title is "Changing the Mood: Better Atmosphere for Godot Games" - but I think you can take something away even if you are not working in #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vyi...

I think I'm doing fine in the dev process for my @msdosclub.bsky.social's #gamedev contest. Astonishing results so far.

¿Se puede o no se puede? Pues ya sabéis cómo averiguarlo. Respondemos a eso y a más cositas de aventuras. Fue un placer pasar por aquí.

Amazing time at GodotCon. Got to experience the beautiful city of Amsterdam, learned a lot from the talks and even got a tour @studio.blender.org As always, and especially coming from a remote part of the world, the core of these events is getting to know amazing people from different cultures.

Did you know you can set up a scene and render it to a texture without any nodes in #Godot, by directly using the RenderingServer? We automatically generate billboard sprites for meshes this way. There's not much info about the RenderingServer online, so I wrote about it: hexaquo.at/pages/using-...

Entering the cave level (draft) in #Hellrule. 💡Remember the game is already released on Google Play and the App Store. 100 % free, no ads, no purchases. Levels (like the one depicted here under construction) are added in updates. #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

He tenido el honor de ser entrevistado por Javi del @msdosclub.bsky.social para uno de sus episodios 'floppy'. Cuando veo mi nombre entre la lista de protagonistas de otras entrevistas, con tanta figura ilustrísima, no sé si me entra síndrome del impostor o qué, pero algo. msdos.club/floppy-110-g...

Built using the @w4games.com Switch port of @godotengine.org! Excited to get this out in a few weeks. Pre-order now!
