I looked to Valve's Source Engine as a reference on how to create a framework that could streamline development
Which boiled down to components/entities that can be reused and pieced together through signals, such as spawner entities for NPCs and objects

I realized just how much technical debt I had accumulated for Oneirality. I chose to restart my project early this month
Recently, I redesigned my visibility system to use Godot's point light nodes, and added a Thief-like visibility meter

I'm getting really close to publishing my short game for the spooky month on @itch.io!
You play as a ghost hunter with a gun. Primary mechanic is manually reloading the revolver. (Inspiration from @miziziziz.deeproot.dev's Endoparasitic.)

Decided to revisit an old project. This time using a manual reload system.

About a week ago, I made a community post on my Youtube channel stating I didn't agree with Youtube's upcoming changes to implement AI age verification. I was quite calm and explained my point with valid arguments, yet apparently it's enough for them to shadow ban me.
Very cool.

My previous level is at a stage where I can call it done, so I'm getting started on blocking out the next level.

Does this look like a turbine? My current level has a power station, so I need to furnish it so it doesn't look empty. I also used this stock image as reference.

One of the things I did when I added "soft collisions" was create office chairs that the player and enemies can push around when they walk into it.

I'm using a shader that applies a grain effect strongly on darker pixels to get a really nice effect, and I wanted to share it here for anyone interested.

Since graduating uni, I've started to use more Agile development practices, such as using a Kanban board to organize my tasks.
To any other solo devs, I recommend Kanri as it's an offline Kanban board application; no internet connection or password necessary

Enemies can investigate noise and search the area if they lose track of the player.
To inform the player about enemy behavior, I also added a emote text component all enemies use!

Recently I've added a level transition screen! It feels a lot nicer than the screen freezing up on the last frame between levels (as I've learned from my demo).

Small update: revised my street tiles to have more subtle variance. Some bricks are higher or lower than the rest.
It's honestly surprising how much you can get away with moving it by one pixel or adding a darker line.

This came as a result when I wanted to fix how my physics casings worked. Before, they bounced using the y-position and only moved on the x-axis.
After adding the z-height, physics particles are able to move diagonally.

Been a while since I've posted, but I've been working on Oneirality (and other projects as well).
I revamped how my flamethrower works to act more like napalm using fake z-height. Flames can now linger and act as an environmental hazard.

Over winter break, I got myself familiar with Godot 4 and started a little side project!
I played a lot of AW2:BR as a kid and I liked the simplicity of its strategy -- no need for missing with a 99% accuracy.
