What a piece of shit. Being online exposes you to so much nonsense. Often I just want to disappear entirely and shield my brain from this rot.

Absolute crap behaviour and it is not even remotely funny.

Man what is wrong with people?!!

Here is another enemy that had a facelift. Very close to the OG as well. Just a few extra polies smoothing shapes out and a 200% texture on a new UV map. #sin #sinreloaded #nightdive #nightdivestudios

Holy shit dude that is amazing!

It is quite possible but i am also wearing glasses and it does me no favors. I need to play a little more to get a good feel on the entire premise

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Hah I also figured id check out these demos. I have yet to play the derelikt demo but I did give the SeverLink one a try. The thing that I dont like is the Bloomy vaseline that is on the screen. Wish I could remove that

Have another enemy from SIN. This is the Reconah. Bit of an uplift but not too far from the OG. Do you have a favourite enemy in SIN (other than miss booba)?

Goddamn I did the exact thing this morning. I listen to youtube music when I work and sometimes have a docu. I have so many music AI and thumbnail crap in there that I have to click so many channels to be hidden. It is Insane. Also dear content creators, stop it.

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Thanks. Yeah it is very important to us to be close to the source material. Fans will see the differences and are often very protective of it (rightfully so).

Never ending story is such a classic. Goddang I have watched it so many times

Here is another model I reworked for SIN. Similar to that of the Magnum, we had some discrepancies between the cinematic and ingame models. I tried to bring them closer together. Here you see an iteration between versions. I also darkened the skin a bit. #sinreloaded #nightdive I hope people like it

Yeah to stay closer to the og we landed on 200% on everything. For weapons we had a bit more freedom as it is an important part of a shooter. The player sees the weapons all the time. In the case of the Magnum it was 256 og and 512 remaster. Some UV sizes differ from og though.

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Another aspect I forgot to mention is the amount of detail to add. You want to be in a spot that is higher res than the original but also where it still looks like it belongs in the base game. Fidelty needs to match across the board.

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I usually start out with solid colors and paint in basic lighting info (think of a lightsource direction and light the polies that face that direction accordingly). The photo overlay helps with giving the texture a bit more material definition. I then paint in specularity to give it a shine.

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

So we decided to incorporate some of the details that were missing and combine it with the old version. The next step is ofcourse modelling the new weapon and texture it. The texture needs to be close to the original. There is a combination of handpainted elements and some photo overlays.

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The initial model will be used as a proportionary guide to what the remastered weapon needs to adhere to. The next step is to determine what it needs to look like. In the case of the Magnum there was quite a bit of inconsistency between cover art, cutscenes and ingame versions.

Now that Sin Reloaded is out the door, I can show off some of the things I have been working on. What goes into remastering these assets? Let me show you. How do we go from this: To this:

Do I understand it? Absolutely. Game prices go up and then you expect more for that. In a lot of cases devs still do their absolute best and are often hindered by decisions not their own. But seeing games being shat out knowing real people are behind it is what makes me sad. Please be better.

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I really wish the toxicity we see in the gaming industry was not there. I see countless of "comparison" videos where certain games did aspect x differently (read better). The industry is already in a tough spot and as a dev I can tell you that these sort of things are very depressing. 1/2

Dennispls @dennispls.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

There are a lot of polishes done to the existing levels. There are a few that have been altered a little more like Chem1 and Csite. Enjoy!

Is it me or does Bluesky feel a lot more empty nowadays? I see people reposting stuff often to get it back into peoples view as well.
