#ReverseEngineering on G-NOME (1997, 7th Level) so far has been fun but also a lot of work. 🫠 I now have a working extraction tool I will publish on #GitHub at some point. 💾

Do you remember G-NOME? 😎

I've published a reverse-engineered asset extractor for #RidgeRacerRevolution but still struggle with race track extraction. Help is appreciated. Yet, car model extraction works nicely, have fun!

I've now migrated to #Unreal engine. What do you think?

Me: How big should the #Akira elevator be?
Also me: YES! (Heather for scale)

I built a conceptual for a huge Akira Elevator in Blender, now I would love to make a game out of this. Ignore the non-existent texturing. UwU

I wanted to build a primitive terrain system. So I manually chunked some very low poly terrain to see how it goes.

What started as a little test now lets me feel like I really should do a #KingsField like game and call it...

KINGS AMONG THE CRESTFALLEN!

#AcidicDev #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGames

It has some kind of mood.

I've started to take some pictures with my phone when I was walking around, so I can make a few textures.

I'm pretty happy with the graphical authenticity.
My mind starts to feel a bit boggled already! UwU

I got a heart for fake stairs.
Plus, I'd like to see them more in real life. >:3

You'll find some nice stair-textures here:

After working on retro shaders for a while it's now time to build actual content - modeling low poly environments is not much of a problem anymore but I didn't expect that texturing would be such a hurdle for me. Well, let's go, I guess. (×_×)
#AcidicDev #GameDev #IndieGame #FlaxEngine

Curvature and CRT overlays incoming.
The CRT overlays will match the aspect ratio of the internal low-res image. You can stretch it for further adjustment. This should be sufficient for creating some nice looking CRT-presets.
#AcidicDev #GameDev #IndieGames #FlaxEngine

Video compression probably will mess this up quite a bit but I still wanna share it. I've implemented a 2nd shader pass for full-res post processing on top of the upscaled low-res image. For the beginning, it will feature a CRT like shader. Commiting in a few minutes.

After fixing a bug in the #FlaxEngine editor, I was finally able to further split my materials into functions and rework some stuff.

Vertex lighting + noise = nice caustics projection! 🐟

Update! This is how my basic #PSX material looks like.

Texture warping can get a bit extreme as there's no distance based subdivision right now. I need to evaluate if I can implement it. Otherwise, I'll need to somehow fake it. 👻

I've finally published a first version of my #FlaxEngine plugin. 😁
github.com/AcidicVoid/F...

It currently features #PSX style post processing with lowres rendering, authentic dithering, and optional integer scaling.
#AcidicDev #GameDev #IndieGame

#Quake style water goes very well with #TombRaider style caustics. What comes to you mind when seeing this? What environment would you build using these effects? 🐟

It's weirdly hypnotic. 😁

I did this before in Unity.

The first Tomb Raider games featured beautiful water caustics, achieved by manipulating vertex colors. It's one of my favorite PS1 graphics tricks. I just re-created it in a modern engine.

Constraints inspire creativity. 😌

#AcidicDev #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame

I've implemented water caustic projections today by adding some noise to the vertex lighting. Plus, I made some tatami mats. More soon! ⛩️

It ain't much but it's honest work. UwU

I've finally updated my #FlaxEngine build and added Gourard Shading aka. Vertex Lighting to my game.

Obviously a popular choice for retro-styled games, but IMHO still interesting for modern projects due to its low performance costs.

Some "concept art" made from an #AssetoCorsa map (I've got permission by the author), made in Blender. It's from the #Unity3D era of my game's development but I will probably build a low(er) poly version of this section to use it in my game. 🙂

Switching cameras in an actual environment prototype with interior sections. As I learned from the very first #SilentHill, tilted cameras bring more atmosphere. Maybe, textures also would. 👻
