can we somehow take back 'vibe-coded' to have nothing to do with LLMs/'AI' ?

I don't like asking but if you would like to support me and what I do, so I can keep making things and also pay some people for their time to also make things, it would really help me! links to support on aeriform.io

Just had a cool idea... Making abstract/painterly art with just vertex color. You don't need a texture for pictures like these, they not use VRAM space and when you move camera closer and closer, it won't become pixelated. 😇 Image

Trying to organize and free palette space today. We can still cram so much more color+palette animations into Fire+Floe for pcengine that im helping @aeriform.bsky.social with. The 3bits per color channel is a bit limiting for dark shades, but more vibrant gradients and pastel colors come out nice.

our first demo of Red Veil is now available to supporters. This is still very work in progress, mostly just exploring of the level in greybox but the critical path through the level is done. aeriform.io/veil #indiedev #gamedev #playstation #ps1 #psx #psxsplash

after 2 months I have a prototype/demo for Red Veil, mechanically 'complete' in terms of the expected critical path, but still a lot of work to do on optional stuff and environment art. For actual PS1. I'll be releasing this for supporters soon— #indiedev #gamedev #playstation #ps1 #psx #psxsplash

If you wanted to make actual PS1 games I highly recommend Psxsplash from Bandwidth. It uses Unity as an editor and compiles down directly to an executable that runs on actual PS1 hardware. I've been working with this to make Red Veil. psxsplash.github.io

this shot took a very long time, lots of trial and error and trying different approaches to get it to look right which always in the back of my mind it is the first shot of the film—the first thing anyone sees, that's vital, setting the bar of quality for everything that follows. Proud of it now.

Added PC-Engine style wavetables (32 x 5-bit) to my music thing. Not sure how actual PCE music is made i.e. how often the table gets swapped out during a note - but I was able to make some gritty 8-bit style sounds with it already. Mouse editing is fun too and one of the reasons I wanted to add it.
