Yo! Time for an introduction. I'm Adam and I'm a coder/designer who's been having fun making games for over 20 years!
I'm a co-founder of Upstream Arcade (Hellboy:Web of Wyrd and West of Dead) and before that, Lionhead.
I'm a family man, enjoy action games, comic books, board games and bad jokes.

I first bumped into Tomas when we were showing West of Dead for the first time, and this developer is a force of nature - congratulations on such a fantastic looking update!

We've had loads of fun making these toys, hope you like them too. More info to come!

We're excited to share an upcoming collection of *tiny* projects - Upstream Arcade GEMS. Each 'Gem' will feature a completely different idea that we've always wanted to try. It's fun to figure new things out, and even more fun to share them with you. Stay tuned!

I'm really enjoying seeing all the Character that Paddy has brought to this little scene! #gamedev #indiedev
Paddy has been living his best life, and fulfilling his dream of making low-poly flying cars for our Sky-Skater minigame. #cyberpunk #gamedev #gameart

It's always fun getting those visual touches in that provide better feedback and feel. #gamedev #indiedev #gamecode
Some good progress in the last day - transparent floor, visual effects and extra props are bringing it together! #gamedev #retrogame #indiegame

This was a fun one to get working - I'm looking forward to seeing @pmartin123.bsky.social 's lovely ideas going into this tech. #gamedev #coding #procgen
Here's the core functionality of the Grid Mesh Generation code. You can add and remove cubes and the mesh dynamically generates based on their relationship to one another. We're using a very simple set of meshes to test, but stay tuned for some more fun!

Aha - now we're working in 3D - I've got some over the top colours going on but you can get a rough idea of the correct meshes being chosen based on the underlying grid!

A bit more progress, the objects that are placed can now be rotated, this is handy because it means we can get more out of fewer objects!

Some early progress on the cube based editing, I'm using an offset grid so each square that is placed is actually represented by four other pieces combining. Bright garish colours show how this works.

I'm a lucky coder. Today I get to do some level editing code based on cubes - picture Townscaper, and then make it way less clever, no - less clever than that. That's it, that's what I'm making.

The final steps of achieving the Low res graphical style is to capture the look of an arcade CRT display! This shader, inspired by Timothy Lottes' FixingPixelArt shader, involves horizontal blurring, scanlines, warping and a repeated colour mask. Hopefully the compression holds.

A little more progress - now with dithered transparency and a placeholder skybox!
