I’ve decided to port my version control system to modern Windows. The way I programmed it for Windows 98 would run just fine but might as well take the time to make a lot more robust. #indiedev #programming #softwareengineering #buildinpublic

⚠️Sound warning ⚠️ I was able to implement an audio streaming buffer for game, including a simple wave display. I’m messing with the pitch with keyboard keys. My goal for this game is to have procedural audio instead of playing prerecorded music or sound effects #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #wip

I did some refactoring and I can now restart the game without closing the application.. but instead of showing that, I’m showing my small version control software because I love it so much #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Got my in game console log working. I still need to place a border around it to make it look nice. I’m currently using 12x12 characters to have a nice uniform look. But I’ve been thinking of using 8x12 for text for the log, menus and such.. I think it would make it more readable

Look at these little goblins go. There’s an issue where one goblin can block the view of another, causing the further goblin to give up the chase.. but I’ll fix that later. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #rpg #wip

Working on my CRPG for Windows 98. I just finished implementing some basic text rendering; still need to working on kerning between the glyphs. I’m happy with the progress though. #indiegame #indiedev #rpg #retrocomputing #windows #fyp #wip

Dynamic chunk loading, each chunk is 8x8 tiles. I can move in any direction forever.. until I run out of memory. Need to work on unloading unseen chunks. #gamedev #indiegame #retrocomputing #fyp

I’m a simple man, all I ask is that books indicate whether I actually need to remember someone’s name or they’re never going to be mentioned again in the whole book.

The tech industry is the worst. Constantly being belittled and treated like I’m dumb is getting really old.

Now we’re cooking! Got bitmaps rendering.. I’m using Paint for which doesn’t export its palettes for 8bit bitmap formats so it’s a bit off 😅 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #retrocomputing #fyp

Working on single line edit. With this we will be able to get input from the player for when they want to enter their character’s name or other information. There is still a lot of clean up work but this should be one of the last major UI components. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #art #wip #game

Just added color animation to my UI. Buttons now fade in when you hover… and fade out after you click. Little by little, it’s starting to feel like a real interface. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #ttrpg #rpg #art #wip

I often get sidetracked with my micro-obsessions. This time it is making a PS1 one game.. something about those wiggly graphics that I love so much #gamedev, #indiedev, #indiegamedev, #pixelart, #unity3d, #godot, #gamemaker, #unrealengine, #steam, #indies
