Test UFO and 240p Test Suite are two applications I use most often. 😅

Unironically, when I originally thought of Project Startail, it was during 2022 at my first year of my game design academy! It was a very different game back then, being a single hub world collectathon. Taking place entirely around what I'd call the Starlight River. 1/3

Growing up is realising that Xenoblade 1 was the worst Xenoblade game in the franchise. (3 > X > 2 > 1) IMO Still a 7.5/10 though

NEW UPDATE VIDEO!!!!11!!11! I love this site, but they do love their compressed vids ahaha I even specifically optimised the video on handbrake thinking that would be good enough :,) Regardless, I am very happy with my progress on this game. 1 year and 5 months in and I am still pushing forward!

I think just the idea that we might be getting a PS5 in just 2 years scares me. This is going to be the weakest jump in generations ever. And if so, would easily make the PS5 Sony's worst console to date. I think the PS5 should last at least 8-10 years. Redeem the PS5 please!

Being real with this gen of gaming. Nintendo is the clear winner in terms of having the best console and games with the Switch. Xbox honestly despite not having any console exclusives, has actually made tons of banger games this gen! Sony was easily the most disappointing. Easily their worst gen

A thing I noticed with the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal of Mario Kart 9, is that the tracks look to be MUCH bigger to accommodate for 24 players. I'm super excited for this, literally no one hates Mario Kart so its the perfect Switch 2 game to announce. #Nintendo #MarioKart

✅Powerful, life-like weapon recoil? ✅3x exclusive weapons? ✅Full integration across the whole game? Oh yeah, this is it. The StrikerVR Mavrik Pro haptic blaster has been added to TritonXR!

I was thinking if I should work on smaller game projects that'll take no longer than two weeks to make? I'm in a mood for something a bit different but not for long term.

Sometimes it can be hard to keep confidence in your work. What helps me with that is to sometimes take a break, write down ideas & plan until you have that confidence back. When something overtakes your life, sometimes it can be difficult to have confidence in an unfinished project

Had a full day to work on the graphics of my #indiegame Starlight River, changed the lighting & fixed a ton of graphical bugs. Really happy with these areas! Here's the progress! #gameDev #indieDev

I think the only unfortunate part of learning more about game design is learning how to make compromises. Not all of your ideas can fit into a realistic scope with limited time & manpower I have huge plans for Starlight River, but I have made failsafe plans just in case I need to shorten the scope.

I've been learning triplanar shaders recently, and oh my god, why wasn't this taught to me earlier??? It makes creating cliffs so much easier when the UVs adjust to the scales & rotation of the object! #GameDev #IndieDev
