I went to a ‘Star Wars’ exhibition a while back that had a similar level of craftsmanship.

Adding obstacles to my drunk walking simulator and ended up with drunk Frogger.

Cars are probably the final boss of the prototype.

I've got the solution for you

Added a sloshy, spillable pint to my drunk walking simulator prototype.

Spill as little as possible on your walk home from the pub.

Thanks to @tkewelldesign.bsky.social for the inspiration!

Added 'The Spins' to my drunk walking sim prototype. The Spins makes foot placement and balancing more difficult.

You can squat down for a breather to decrease The Spins temporarily. Try not to vomit.

Added foot controls to my 'drunk walking simulator' prototype. Controls inspired by QWOP / Baby Steps. My apologies to Foddy.

Use L / R triggers to raise each foot, and L / R thumbsticks to fight the control where your foot lands.

Unreal's Physics Control system is a lot of fun. Making a 'walk home from the Christmas party' prototype. Next up, adding QWOP / Baby Steps esque manual walking mechanics.

A non-game project; I made a raspi robot camera that creates timelapses of the sunset from my office window, compiles a soundtrack of bird song from a solar powered mic station I setup and auto posts it to instagram. It tracks the position of the sun over the year. @sunsetcam_18 on instagram.

Also in 2017 I made this chaotic multiplayer Ghostbusters-esque prototype. I've been sprucing it up recently for fun. Maybe one day it'll be A Real Boy.

Before that in 2017 I released this ludicrous comedy-horror-karaoke VR game 'Stage Presence' with tinyBuild. It was a daft joke I took too far. It even had a multiplayer where you could throw bottles of wee at strangers on a stage.

Games are art.

Now that this place is like peak Twitter, I'll get back to posting fun game dev videos. In the meantime, here's a 🧵 of my older stuff.

Here's Transmission. A cosy driving game I prototyped way back in 2018 that popped off on twitter and ended up in PC Gamer, Eurogamer and a bunch of other places.
