Fabraz - Demon Tides & Bubsy 4D @fabraz.bsky.social · 1d

We just updated the Bubsy 4D Demo! Check out the patch notes below.

- Bubsy 3D's face is now capable of blinking. We have the technology.
- Bubsy 3D's texture no longers becomes nightmare fuel on low quality settings.
- Bubsy isn't as obsessed about how Woolie's smell anymore.
- Dropdown's in the settings don't have an existential crisis anymore.
- Removed language options until Bubsy learns how to speak anything other than English.
- Brought back framerate settings so you can ogle at Bubsy 120 times per second.
- The "Cutscene Skip" toggle no longer prevents you from entering the VR menu. No more excuses, get in the robot Bubsy!
- Added a climbable grid on both sides of the building at the end of "Heartfelt Village" so you don't regret your life choices more than usual.
- We had a talk with the camera man and he promised the camera should now glitch less when hopping around as a hairball and with certain slanted geometry. If it still does, blame him and not us.
- The camera man also told us he'll obey the laws of physics and clip into objects like the felt houses less, which is nice.
- If you're Bubsy look away: Added a new unique death when getting flattened by spiky cars.
- Told the total timer to take up less space and long leaderboard names to abide to its confines. Cheeky things.

Today is my Blueskyiversary!

Here's how far #HighwayNoir has come in that time (sudden volume at 5 seconds, music by @marinahascoffee.bsky.social)

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with me. You've made this site what it is and I'm grateful to learn what positivity it's possible to find online

Comparing Mario vs Sonic: cool, funee, time honored beef between two big companies (sonic sweep always)

Comparing two indie games: cringe, consoomerpilled, do not do that

Thank you for your attention to this matter

I got tired of looking up normals so I made myself a cheatsheet

If you're not already aware, a normal map renders a pixel at a fake angle determined by the colour. E.g. yellow tilts the pixel toward the top right. (79, 102, 179) would be leftwards and slightly down

#GameDev #Tips #Graphics

A 3 by 3 grid of colours with sample colours and numerical codes to show which colour corresponds to which direction in a normal map

Top left: bright green - 0, 255, 128
Top centre: lime green- 128, 255, 128
Top right: yellow - 255, 255, 128
Centre left: teal - 0, 128, 128
Centre (unchanged normal): light blue - 128, 128, 255
Centre right: salmon - 255, 128, 255
Bottom left: dark blue - 0, 0, 128
Bottom centre: purple - 128, 0, 128
Bottom right: pink - 255, 0, 128

Additional notes show that a change in angle from bottom to top varies green from 0 to 255. A change in angle from left to right varies red from 0 to 255. Blue varies from 128 to 255 to describe in angle perpendicular to the actual texture through to facing fully upward

For the record, just about nothing is off the table here. I'm willing to make the *dumbest* weapons ever.

GlitchedLizard (GameDev) @glitchedlizardgd.bsky.social · Jun 27

To those of you following RRR, what kinds of weapons would you want to see in the game? I've decided pretty firmly what the first secondary Weapon I'll be making is, but I'm looking for fun new ideas for weapons beyond the ones present in Mega Man Legends 1-2.

Doing small stuff to get back into the groove of things, since I've been away from the project for a while. So I polished up the ledge hanging and added little left/right ledge hops! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #megamanlegends #roguelite #ue5
