Old games just tried stuff, man. We act like game design's got these tested solidified formulas, then some random 80s game slaps you in the face to remind you that there's so much still left to explore.

Art upgrade in progress! I spent the last few days adding a ton of visual variety to the ground. You're looking at three new tilesets with four variants each. All randomized to stop that "copied-and-pasted" feeling. Huge step for the overall vibe.

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I want to show the dynamic environment that I've been working on lately for the rooms that contain laser puzzles.

#Godot 's global shader parameters came in handy to manage the tiles palette.

Should we as game developers be using AI? Yes, but probably not the way you think. Let's talk about it.
