Another small update on the Kingdom Hearts-like prototype. I added basic menus, magic, and abilities. Combat is feeling pretty good so far. I may make jump/dodge cancelling an ability, but we’ll see.

Currently working on a Kingdom Hearts-like prototype and blocking out what I’d like the character to be able to do. I’m really trying to get a similar game feel to KH1 mixed with KH2, and I’d say that’s going pretty well so far.

I made a quick Android port of my one of my old prototypes and wanted to see how it runs on the Xperia Play. It is playable, but I’ll see if there are areas I can optimize for better performance. #android #opengl #opengles #gamedev #xperiaplay

I’m currently going through a lot of my old projects and updating the code to be in-sync with all of the changes made to my engine over the years, and there are some bugs that need fixing, lol #opengl #gamedev

Being chased in horror games is so funny to me. 😭 In general, I’ll aim to make every enemy feel like a constant threat, because that level of anxiety is terrifying. I used the naive approach as a base, and will add actual pathfinding soon. #gamedev #indiegamedev

I experimented with lighting, and somewhat sorted out how I want the light sources organized within the environment. As to be expected, this drastically changes the atmosphere of the game 😭. Now things are getting spooky. Will add shadows next. #gamedev #indiegamedev #opengl

Another step forward 🫡 In this setup, I extract data from a Pokemon Yellow Save and store it on the Arduino, where you can trade with it through the link cable. Now that I understand how this works, I’ll look into making trades between ENG and JPN Gen 1-2 games possible. #gameboy #pokemon #arduino

After a few issues with interrupts, I was able to get the Gameboy to exchange data with an Arduino.
Now, I'll move on to checking out data transmission between Gen 2 Pokemon games, and from there, placing the Arduino in the middle of the communication to modify some properties. #gameboy #arduino

Lately, I’ve been exploring writing Gameboy games in assembly, overall just to observe how data flows through the link cable, and ultimately hook it up to an Arduino and apply what I learned about communication protocols. This is step 1. 😤 #gameboy

I modeled a lot of low-poly objects to block out the environment. I’m using my engine, so I place models around like this. It makes me feel like I’m playing Animal Crossing or Prop Hunt. 😭 #gamedev #blender

I felt inspired after watching a few Indie Horror games, so I’m taking a slight detour to make a simple horror game. I'm currently just making a framework that will serve as a base for the various horror games l'd like to make in the future. #gamedev

A while back, I started to play around with circuits and such, and made a game of Snake using an Arduino, Shift Registers, and an 8x8 Dot Matrix Display. Lately, I’ve wondered how controllers work internally, so I did some research and wired it up. 👀

What was really fun so far is implementing swinging functionality, sort of like how it works on Ratchet & Clank. I’ll likely draw inspiration from a lot more of my favorite games. 🤩

This is what I’m working on currently. Just a simple adventure game inspired by Zelda. I have a lot of the core functionality implemented, so now I’m working on making environments and dungeons. Admittedly, this is the difficult part, but I’ll conquer art/texturing one step at a time.

#gamedev

This was a small prototype that I made because I wanted to experiment with Xenoblade/FFXII style combat. I haven’t done much with it, but it was fun to work on, especially on the Animation/VFX side.

#gamedev

I worked on this PMD fangame recently to learn more about socket programming and to also experiment with the A* algorithm. Multiplayer is functional, it is just slow and there are occasional desyncs that I need to address. Shelved for now.
