I'm working on a new game project called Myriad! Its a short sci-fi extraction shooter in a y2k aesthetic.

Demo coming soon.
Here's a poster I've made for it. Pls like/share/follow if interested. Many more updates to come!

If I were petty I'd make a bot that reposts HR job postings, strings along applicants for months, then eventually ghosts them. i need them to feel my pain

every pathway to profit i’ve seen from generative ai is legit just intellectual property laundering. so depressing. cut it out

Thanks! Im a big fan of SWAT 4. Their environments give off the eerie night time feeling very well.

Environment art at the mysterious Sirius building. This is for my retro extraction shooter project: Myriad.

i think so. it’s also an option to just not hire them… might be best for a stealth strategy 😅

initially they will be a dumbass but my goal is eventually you can command them and save them 🥹 i love saving the marines in halo games

i want to focus on replayable ai and builds that modify playstyle between stealth and the offensive. i’m most excited about being able to hire and train an ai companion. it’s like your lil gang vs the ai gangs lol

wip combat preview in Myriad. multiple npc factions will roam the map with the same goal as the player and get into interesting little fights with each other and the player.

@strideh.bsky.social textures are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Up there with the amazing @makkon.bsky.social. This urban pack is perfect 😍

Brad (Strideh) @strideh.bsky.social · Sep 11

Another update! Smaller one this time with some odds and ends while I continue working on the glass/window update. Also 50% off for the next week why not. (I hate writing these)

2) The modularity also solves another problem which is lightmap texel density. Might just be a godot thing but the larger the mesh, the harder it seems to fit into the lightmap texture atlas without leaks. So this method actually greatly reduces lightmap leaks.

riordan (game developer) @riordan.bsky.social · Sep 11

1) I use to believe this is a waste of tris but tris are very cheap actually, textures are often the bottleneck of rendering.

riordan (game developer) @riordan.bsky.social · Sep 11

Yes thats correct. Its a modular design because I constantly need to refactor for gameplay. I have 2 reasons I'm not concerned:

riordan (game developer) @riordan.bsky.social · Sep 11

maybe a little cosmetic stuff like glass and props. not the structure itself

Myriad is an fps about conspiracy theories
I want this render to make you feel paranoia
