[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.8-cpp - Added debug functions bound to O and P, O applies a direct impulse, P applies a radius impulse, for testing the new Stalker inspired warp zones. sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.6-cpp - Organized the entire source code structure so there's not 50 .h and .cpp files just hanging out in the tree. - Added some backend work to fix an async desync resync issue - Jetbrains Rider bug repor... sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

PSA to my fellow #indiedevs #UnrealEngine and #Jetbrains #Rider has an issue with code analysis about an enum used by the Unreal logging system. I filed a #bug report here: Tldr it thinks an enum can't <= with an enum youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSCPP-...

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.5-cpp - Linux is now the primary build target for development, and a full rebuild has been done. - Windows will still be regularly built, but I'm sick of their spyware and problems. sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

Set up a #honeypot on the website for a php exploit recently released. Lets see how many skids I can catch.

So my PCP just called and said they can't help me with my seizures (Refractory Status Epilepticus, coma, fun times) due to her not handling the particular medication, #Keppra, to go to an emergency room until I can see my neurologist, in months, for recurrent focal seizures and proven low serum lab.

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.4-cpp - Modified the main ball to no longer use a procedural dynamic mesh, now uses slottable multiple statics with runtime morphing. Cheaper, faster, better. - Note: GhostTrail is currently broken sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

Fuck #EA, long live #Bioware

[PsyShiftX] Update Hotfix to just move the mass override out of the CDO and fix a race condition. Builds are live on Steam for both Windows and Linux. sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.2-cpp - OmniButton can now eject players who spend too long sitting on the button. - OB now allows multiple state changes per update via generic delegate - OB now flashes yellow when triggered during debounce. sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.1-hf - As physics movement is async, atomic get/set the input values instead of raw read for cross thread containment, as well as the current lin/ang velocities. This was rather painful to debug. sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.1-cpp - OmniButtonV2 fully implemented, see BSky post about it sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

So remind me @microsoft.com why I have an Enterprise license, updates completely disabled, update services disabled, the mechanisms disabled, the policies set, the registry edited, and your vibe coded shitware still interrupts what I'm doing to prompt for an #update I didn't ask for #Debian. Today.

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.4.0-cpp - Fixed camera being framerate dependent. - Removed debug torque direction indicator, will be replaced with OSD. - Fixed OmniButtonV2 scale independent setup for level design sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.3.5-cpp - Added async physics substepping with a fixed time of 120hz Dev note: (((LastTorqueDirection.GetSafeNormal() * AccelerationForceMultiplier) / BrakeTime) * SphereMass); is not a nice function. sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

So I'm carrying the team, as usual, in #Overwatch A member of our team as a healer was like 6-6, then later like 10-10. Team mate kept saying they were going negative, then tried to say that 0 = negative. What? Are kids legitimately this actually #stupid now?

Calling it now. Watch how fast the big #journalism sites switch from "Dumocrats evil" to "Trump bad" when the mid terms hit. We see you.

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.3.4-cpp - NOTE: Physics constraint on the new OmniButton is broken. - Fixed STEAM_SUBSYSTEM -> STEAM mismatch - Updated VDFs to use the XR name scheme over X - Disabled SteamInput action override binding due ... sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

Setting up the first real playable level now for #PsyShiftX. Simple goal, simple demands: 1. Player must spawn consistently 2. A collection or distance objective 3. Usage of physics mechanics The mechanics are made, physics are scientifically simulated, and the track is done. #indiedev #gamedev

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.3.1-cpp - Fixed Vulkan regression for Unreal 5.8.3 that breaks SPIRV gen on SM6 with bindless. Thanks Epic, really wanted to debug your problems. sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

@beemon.symbolicon.net Following up with you about your lighting situation. Got it handled? If not, I can provide a bit of assistance debugging why.

Shoutout to #Decino fighting the #DOOM copyright strike from #WarnerBrothers about a 30+ year old sound effect. #DMCA is only enforced unilaterally and until we fight back they will continue to abuse it. Boycott #Youtube and WB. Vote with your wallets.

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.2.2-cpp - Guarded variable initialization against components that may be null referenced sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.2.1-cpp - Added CCD / MACD to the physics primitive sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

Here's some of the new assets in action Following this, old assets that used third party generation have been removed entirely. Every asset is now hand crafted and made with #Blender, #Gimp, #Inkscape, and other similar tools, locally. #indiedev #gamedev #solodev bsky.app/profile/sapp...

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.2.0-cpp - Added a ton of hand made UI assets to replace the old bad ones - Added CCD and MACD to the player ball to compensate for low frame rate collision detection - Set the proper disable state for missing... sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev

So I'm going to my first therapist for my PTSD tomorrow. This should be... Something. Can't really articulate to someone what being awake during a coma is like, operation after operation. Fuck, I know what a bronchoscopy feels like, the dozens of incisions, the vent clogging. Hopefully they help.

Nothing big today, but let me show off my new title screen that zooms and whooshes across the room as you change menus! 🔥 Also busy getting pumped up for Next Fest 😤 #indiegames #zeldalike #nintendo64

hello i am sherlock i have come to cleanse your timeline with my purrs purr purr purr

Someone remind me why #EpicGames is demanding a studio use #AI assets and #code? I may stop using #UnrealEngine over this. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

I love circles! Circles in a cornfield made by aliens, or ornaments on one's legs, or a disc around the neck. Circles are everywhere! #gamedev #UnrealEngine #indiedev

Pretty much that. I sample the same gradient 4 different times, applying a random noise texture at different uv scales and apply a parallax-offset per layer (parallax code by binbun). Then I go into the light function and pass it the layers as an offset for the light intensity to give it more volume

@a-nobodyuser.bsky.social Tell your kitties I said hello.

[PsyShiftX] Update v0.0.1.4-cpp - Added respawn input lockout - Added respawn blackout delegate - Fixed ghost trail opacity being weird - Fixed bad physmat on QField - Fixed improper restitution force on QField sapphirelabs.cloud | #indiedev
