I finally wrote blog posts on my Q4 and January progress on Beneath The Order: beneaththeorder.com/2025/02/a-be... beneaththeorder.com/2025/02/a-be... #gamedev #unity #vr #metaquest #btogame #devlog

Bought a Windows 11 PC after ~15 years of nearly exclusive macOS usage. Four days in, already had to start regedit for a simple UX preference. Some things never change! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answer... (and this should be a standard on setting imho.)

I’ve finished my game planning from the #IndieExpedition and now I’m building an MVP. I’m releasing a game this year.

I liked the "Refine with Gemini" option I had seen on a screenshot, but I'm already paying for various Google Workspaces, plus I didn't want to add another AI subscription. So I sat down to build a Chrome extension that does the same, but with my OpenAI key: youtu.be/hkJI8qSlE00 🧵

Timps' Discord community is a small and friendly group of hobbyists, and this year's Indie Expedition is a fun initiative to help us all reaching a big milestone together with other accountability partners. I'm in, and I recommend you join, too. #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unreal

Early November I challenged myself to build a simple sorting challenge with @unity.com's XR Interaction Toolkit 3 in two hours. At the same time, @synty.bsky.social released their latest art pack. I couldn't resist building a gory horror version. youtu.be/n_61KiBZVEU #vr #gamedev #unity3d #indiedev

Collected some shots of my Sunday night project, a point and click adventure game in the spirit of the old Police Quest series. Focus still on the VR game but currently optimizing and nothing new to show. #gamedev #unity #indiedev #pointandclick #sierra #pq1 (1/2)

Got that one again today. I have 6000.0.22f1 continuously open since release, maybe that's a trigger and makes them feel I'm a professional user spending full workdays and making tons of money? I wish. Opted out of analytics in Unity Hub, let's see if that improves matters.

Unity's legal comms feel inconsistent. What they write: "As we’ve communicated previously, if we update the Editor Software Terms, you can choose to continue using the prior accepted version of the terms as long as you keep using that named version of Unity Editor" What I see:

Here's a new one, haven't seen that one before! ("revoked" vs. "removed")

Wow. Worth seeing for parents, shareholders, and everyone interested in social gaming, UGC, game development, or virtual economics. #roblox

Unity turned things around with the waiver of the runtime fee and the promising Unity 6 upgrades. But I keep getting unjustified popups like "Your license has been revoked" or "You need an active license to use Unity." which feel like a threat! Seems to be related to switching between 2022.3 and 6.

Had to think about ways to keep the player immersed in a #VR #cutscene while taking some control away. Decided to strip them on a sedan. Quite a challenge due to twisted, narrow alleys. First iteration, happy with the outcome: youtu.be/IySdrWJ2cRE #gamedev #unity3d #devlog #btogame #indiedev

I sat down to document my August progress. It's frustrating to see how much work yields little visible progress; how far it's away from actual gameplay; how janky things look. I'll iterate and improve as good as I can. beneaththeorder.com/2024/09/augu... #devlog #indiedev #unity3d #gamedev #btogame

It was way too hot yesterday to work on challenging stuff. Instead, I wrote a blog post on what I did the days before! beneaththeorder.com/2024/08/from... #devlog #indiedev #unity3d #gamedev #btogame

As a contrast to the vast, hollow core of my game world, I wanted to have long, twisted, narrow bunker corridors from where the player can reach various support systems. Here's a first glimpse. youtube.com/shorts/W5GXy... #gamedev #devlog #unity3d #vr #btogame

Yesterday I started building a crowd simulation. NPCs are pooled, spawned and despawned to generate a feeling of density and liveliness. This is the very first draft with the pooling infrastructure in place, now I'm moving on to add more variation. youtube.com/shorts/Hmjef... #gamedev #btogame
