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

Items are for the most part implemented. I need to work on equipping clothes and weapons and armor. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #rpg #crpg

I was dying to see the credits and then the video froze skipping straight to the main menu 😭

I’ll try synthesized instruments first and then written by the program in real time

Marco Lugo @marcolugo.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Yeah I want to push certain aspects pretty far while keeping other things pretty minimal

⚠️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 just wanted to use something where I can play my games and develop the things I want. I thought it was win98, but there were a few things which made developing a bit of a pain, so I went to XP lol. Yes I connect them to the internet, mainly for development purposes. Much easier to connect XP ha

Marco Lugo @marcolugo.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

As for features, it’s bare minimum. Just does commits. The pushing part is just a script that sends the repo directory to a private Linux server. I made it that way because I just wanted to be able to save my work and walk away haha

Marco Lugo @marcolugo.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

It was born out of necessity, I was doing some Windows 98 development earlier this year and there was no real options for version control. So I made my own. Now I’m on Windows XP but if I ever went back to modern Windows or Linux, I’d definitely port it.

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

Glad I’m using VC6 ☕️

No engine, just a custom OpenGL renderer

Marco Lugo @marcolugo.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

It’s why I made my own vcs and now host it on a private server

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

Jedi Knight Dark Forces II. It was pretty much my entry into PC gaming. My brother and I played a small section of the first level for weeks because we didn’t know that SPACE opened doors!

Tell us more about your scripting system 😌

I wish I could get mine working 😭

Given them I’m working on a chess game.. this might be something to look into

I’ve been working on a small chess engine for the GameBoy this holiday break. I have the hand cursor working.. still have a lot left to go 😅 #indiegame #gameboy #retrocomputing #nintendo #indiedev #fyp

I tried selling my books once. ThriftBooks sent me a shipping label and that’s as far as I got

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

Wait— that’s a middle finger

What do you mean? Development is going well

Marco Lugo @marcolugo.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

You just want to get it right

Marco Lugo @marcolugo.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Same— but I’m the developer

Marco Lugo @marcolugo.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Understandable, I’ve rushed through things multiple times.. hopefully this time around I’ll take my time

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 too had this feeling of nostalgia and I couldn’t help myself

I need an updated version of this.

Still very early. Don’t even have the turn based implemented yet 😅

So it’s this how I can start my own anime streaming site?

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.

Nah, I’m building from scratch

Just make it take place in modern times and let the player fight ICE agents.

Yup, it’s my daily driver now
