Hello! Do you like building stuff from plastic bricks? Well, maybe you'll also like to know that... 🧩 FOLLOW THESE STEPS demo is now available! 🧩 It's a chill, relaxing puzzle game with no stakes, just putting things together. Available on Windows, Linux, macOS. #indiegame #gamedev #puzzle

A screenshot from FOLLOW THESE STEPS, an upcoming puzzle video game by Yuri Sizov. It showcases the playable area with a bunch of objects on a dark background. On the left there foil packages with colorful pictures. In the middle there is a blue tray with buttons and a pink box in the middle, full of colorful pieces. On the right there is a teal area with various pieces stuck together, and one of the resulting stacks being grabbed by the hand-shaped cursor.

Here's 90 seconds of REVOLUTION FANTASY, which I've been working on discreetly for the last few years. It's built on the bones of Tenderfoot Tactics, in Godot. This is a sandbox combat that I'm using to design skills and progression. Expect me to post a lot more about RF from here on out!

I haven't needed to adjust bone roll but I think that could be an easy extension of lookat. I then run a small script to bake a new animation. The tree order of lookat's matter where lookat order is determined by bone hierarchy.

Double Body @doublebody.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

A small workflow for animation retargetting since I haven't been able to make retargeting nodes work for all rig setups. I use a series of lookatmodifiers on a target rig for each bone, and I place a boneattachment for each bone on the source rig. The lookats then mapped from src bone to src child.

I implemented dynamic subdivision so that the texture warping isn't too extreme. I didn't want to subdivide it too much though, so you can still see some warping. #gamedev #lowpoly #psx

The message included with this proto dump is rad

Today, I’m releasing the SNES proof-of-concept alpha of Project Dream, the proto-type that would go on to become Banjo-Kazooie.

I’ve held on to this for years, it was fun to have something that only a handful of people had, and as I am several people removed from how it got out of Rare to begin with, I didn’t want to risk that it could somehow get someone else in trouble, (so how I got it is a story I don’t plan to share.) I will just say that I got it from someone who got it from someone, who got it from somewhere.

But with the current state of the industry and Microsoft's current heartless gutting and mismanagement of Rare and other companies it controls, plus with how long it's been, I feel it's more important to make sure this is properly preserved, and the ROM dissected by people with far more knowledge on how to do such things.

I hope by releasing this, that it also inspires other people to release what they have as well. I know the Twelve Tales Conker 64 prototype is out there somewhere, but sadly, this is the only thing that I have.

There is little joy left in the industry, as it relentlessly marches towards AI, layoffs, l anti-preservation and ownership tactics, and, in Microsoft’s case, the support and approval of literal genocide in Gaza.

Let’s get the last beautiful things hiding on our hard drives out there for everyone. That's all we have left.

Had to see how it handled individual part swapping : ) The results aren't that different than just rendering the voxel models - even has the same "clipping" issues. This is pretty sweet for strictly 2D games, without resorting to some render target shenanigans.

Double Body @doublebody.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

That's really cool we arrived to the same thing separately, I'm kind of surprised I haven't heard more folks rendering voxels to pixel art it works so well. You're renders look really good in your mario kart-like btw!

funny enough, I didn't have the src files available, and decompiled it and ported it to 4.x recently, I should update the page. I don't think I understood how to use the debugger then and found a bug posting every frame that was causing some major performance issues.

Double Body @doublebody.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

My setup involves rendering out 3D voxel models that have been skinned to a skeleton. I can toggle on and off parts. Here I just toggled the weapons off and rendered the character by itself, and did the same for the weapons.

Double Body @doublebody.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

For every piece of swappable equipment you supply a shader with both the color and depth image of it for any given animation, and in the shader you compare depth and pick the color with the closer depth value.

Double Body @doublebody.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I thought this would work but never actually tried it and not sure what to call it other than pixel depth sorting. It's a way to have equipment reflected on 2D characters that isn't the usual paper doll construction.

It works, it's very slow but I always imagined more of an awkward clunky form of combat. I'm recording inputs and memorizing spell sequences for playback - but I'm still working out the input design and thinking of other applications.

Having some thoughts about some analog low fantasy magic. Player actions include emiting combustible gases / sparking fire / compressing gases / pushing, the player can sequence those all together and create a makeshift fireball without a fireball button.
