クラッチのUIを更新しました。プレイヤーの入力に基づき、どのモジュールが選択されるかがより分かりやすく表示されるようになっています。 Update for the Clutch UI. It now better displays which module will be selected based on the player's most recent input. #nightmareoperator #gamedev #ps1 #psx #horrorgame #indiegame

This week’s Creative Bloq indie spotlight actually has me circling back to a game I got to play at BitSummit a few months ago called Nightmare Operator, which is like a PS1-style mix of Resi 4, Shin Megami Tensei, and Street Fighter(?!) www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-gam...

This PS1-style horror game mixes Resident Evil with Street Fighter

Nolan Joseph explains how DDDistortion uses modern tools to recreate a readable retro aesthetic.

We made a system to help us populate repeated, similar prefabs in the environment. Nondestructively and performantly fills various shape types with random prefabs and allows for the application of jitter to position and rotation for variation. #gamedev #indiegame

Shizuku is Misha's fellow Operator, and romantic partner. Contrary to Misha, she prefers sniping so that she can keep her exertion to a minimum, and keep her distance from Youkai. #screenshotsaturday #nightmareoperator

We never had traditional ammo pickups, but we did have a vestigial "magazine" system. Effectively you had infinite ammo reserves but had to reload. This was hard to understand, and didn't integrate well with our other systems. Heat is better contextualized, and rewards actions like melee attacks.

DDDistortion @dddistortiondev.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Ammo has been removed from NIGHTMARE OPERATOR. It has been replaced with the Heat System. Shooting generates Heat. Overheating means you cannot shoot for a period. Switching Modules, performing melee attacks, and utilizing Discharge Cancels reduce Heat. #gamedev #ps1 #psx

We've been quietly plugging away at #nightmareoperator, and we're intentionally holding some cards close to the chest. Still, we want to show off some of the cool polishing we've been doing. Here's an example: smooth volumetric fog transitions. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

In NIGHTMARE OPERATOR, switching weapons as quickly as possible is the key to efficiently dispatching enemies. NIGHTMARE OPERATORでは武器を素早く切り替えることが、敵を効率的に倒す鍵となります。 #nightmareoperator #indiegame #psx #ps1 #gamedev #TPS #actiongame
