Did a lot of cleanup on camera & player orientation stuff. Fixed some weird angle flickering, and played with the angle at which the player back-pedals and added some tweening on player rotation to smooth it out. #gamedev #lowpoly
workin on a new enemy - a mighty treestump! (he shares the same rig as the chunion) #gamedef #lowpoly
Got space on the mind, workin' on more doodads: cafeteria with fridge, sinks, and some new stairs.
Saw #projectHailMary in imax. (It was really good, worth the big screen!) They also gave out these cool 70mm promo prints. Neat!
Tired healer team. #ffxiv
ugh, zones are getting really big @__@;;
ho mamma! lookin good!
Trying to emulate FFXI's unique camera behavior:
When idle, the camera is sorta pushed and pulled along with the player instead of a traditional locked on 3rd person view.
When in combat, its more or less locked and orbits around the midpoint between the player and target. #gamedev #lowpoly
greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail
Was goin through some old game project files -- man id like to revisit this one. A first person point-and-click-adventure-like where you gotta explore and repair this big empty spaceship by yourself. #gamedev #lowpoly
I would like you all to know that I am a bigboy adult, who can schedule an eye apointment... on the phone... talking to real humans. @____________@;; so much anxiety, time for a nap.
Next playable character is a very FFXI-y elvaan-like. Its Uv'ed, but still unappy with colors / textures. Still messin with a lot so you get the clay view :P #gamedev #lowpoly
For the frog... maybe they dont have armor and just have better base stats? Or maybe they just have a small pool of frog-only armor. hmmm am i being lazy?
Deathstate is a roguelike bullet hell that was released 10 years ago this week by a tiny team at a tiny game studio in WNY. Not only was it way before it's time but it deserved way more attention than it got. Vampire Survivors fans, check this out! #gamedev

I have 'dungeon-crawl' style skills, as they level up increase heath/mana/damage etc. One of the cooler parts of FFXI was the traits youd get at certain job levels, why not combine them! Starting to add little passive bonuses at certain skill levels. Stuff like: Double attack, better potions, etc.
So it took some doing, but managed to get the skeleton's animation set looking good on the frog's rig! Frog is now *playable* #gamedev #lowpoly
The next playable character is frog! but uh, he ain't rigged yet & I don't have armor modeled for him. :C #gamedev #lowpoly
Made a fun level painting tool. Under the hood theres a simple color map texture that replaces R/G/B/Black with the 4 texture types. From there you raycast from the mouse position to grab the triangle/uv info, then paint directly on the color map and save it back out as a PNG.
Can be very useful! Try making an editor tool to paint the vertex colors, I wound up doing something similar for my world texturing, but using a color map instead of vertex colors. 🤩🤌nice work, looks really good!
🤩 Fantastic!
