Just heard the very sad news that a former Software Creations friend passed away recently. All of his friends knew him as 'Bone'. He was a friendly, fun, knowledgeable guy who started in QA at Creations back in the early 90s, and was recently working on Star Citizen. RIP @bone6502.bsky.social

Revived a 9 year old(!) ghostbusters-ish co-op/competative prototype recently. Co-op to capture ghosts, compete for XP gems. It's starting to get fun, might make a little 4-5 map game of it. #screenshotsaturday

A glimpse of my composing & mixing workflow in The Siege and The Sandfox. I tend to work at runtime with Metron Tracker & my mix system as #DearImGui overlays. I can override gameplay mix events or test in place, tweak synth/sample instruments, adjust quantised sync offsets #UnrealEngine #gameaudio

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

A thought from me and @jondadley.bsky.social: If your name was Peter you could have a social media platform called Peter, and each tweet would be called a Pete, and then you could call retweets Repetes. Something to consider.

I started an amazing new job this year that's taken up all my time so I haven't been able to add much drunk walking simulator. I'll share some new videos soon, I've got some daft new features I'm adding to it.

Incredibly heartwarming how my feed is wall to wall tributes to David Lynch. I have such an immediate, visceral *feeling* if I think about the end of Twin Peaks S2 and all of The Return. How much art can say that? How many artists?

Gaia Sky is a consistently under rated app. It lets you fly around a large swathe of our galaxy based on actual Gaia telescope data. In VR! It rules so hard.

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

Added 'The Spins' to my drunk walking sim prototype. The Spins makes foot placement and balancing more difficult. You can squat down for a breather to decrease The Spins temporarily. Try not to vomit. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

A while ago I added Atari YM emulation to my #UnrealEngine tracker DAW, implementing stuff like SID-voice, buzzer effects & mod matrix. It can go thru realtime DSP fx like my other synth engines, but it's register-compatible with the hardware chip...in theory! #ScreenshotSaturday #chiptune #gamedev

Added foot controls to my 'drunk walking simulator' prototype. Controls inspired by QWOP / Baby Steps. My apologies to Foddy. Use L / R triggers to raise each foot, and L / R thumbsticks to fight the control where your foot lands. #Screenshotsaturday #gamedev

We used this on a number of projects at Cardboard Sword to tightly sync game events to the soundtrack. Perfectly beat matched gameplay is super cool. Bren's a certified wizard.

A non-game project; I made a raspi robot camera that creates timelapses of the sunset from my office window, compiles a soundtrack of bird song from a solar powered mic station I setup and auto posts it to instagram. It tracks the position of the sun over the year. @sunsetcam_18 on instagram.

Now that this place is like peak Twitter, I'll get back to posting fun game dev videos. In the meantime, here's a 🧵 of my older stuff. Here's Transmission. A cosy driving game I prototyped way back in 2018 that popped off on twitter and ended up in PC Gamer, Eurogamer and a bunch of other places.

If you want to know what it's like making a video game, it's endlessly playing it through, and each time you do you write down a full A4 page of notes, you address every item on that list, and you start the process over. You then do this process over and over approximately one million billion times
