ABYSS is done and available for download, if you have a PS Vita!
balderdragonslayer.itch.io/abyss
About 2 months of work and it turned out pretty cool if I may say so myself! 🦾

Got the dynamic soundtrack system and some temp sounds added!

Got a menu, character customization, basic enemy navigation and decision making, UI and saves working.
Still below 60% utilization on the Vita 🦾

I did that for Purified, with the limitations there was nothing else to do really, haha!

Here's the best sketch I've ever made of Uriel and the Council, the end!

For the characters I use an Albedo/Diffuse texture, an Emissive texture and a two channel Mask texture containing Ambient Occlusion and Roughness.
Giving me everything I need for ""PBR"" while keeping the Vita above 60 FPS, the target framerate for the game. 🤓

Knowing that mips work on normal textures I decided to render my cubemaps into lat-long textures, then I do a bunch of reflection math in the vertex shader (to avoid per pixel reflection calculations) and sample mips like you would any normal texture. 🦾

Usually you'd use cubemaps for PBR and then sample lower mip-maps to simulate a rough surface.
With the Vita being about 14 years old it does not support the border mip-maps needed for sampling between cubemap faces, so you get sharp lines between the faces like this. 🤢

I'm taking a little break from devving, so I'm instead gonna do the type of dev post that I enjoy seeing!
Here's a short thread about how I got ""PBR"" reflections and a roughness workflow working on a PS Vita. 🤓
With a snazzy breakdown video!

A quick cut taking some photos and getting patches!
Photos of cool graffiti or locations can be given to the Patch Master to be turned into patches for your jacket! 📸✂️

Crumble is really taking shape, being a bit of a hub in the game I'll probably polish it forever, though this is good for now.
Time to add some NPCs and stuff!

Took a bit of a mental health break, came back and made the Storm Bus and a whole lot of UI stuff that you barely get to see in the clip! 🚌💨
