It all started as a experimental fork of @ruben3d.bsky.social RetroFlighSim, its HUD and F-22 is still in place. If you like 90s sim resurrections also checkout @why485.bsky.social @hijongpark.bsky.social @hiddenasbestos.bsky.social #flightsim #lowpoly #retrogaming #gamedev

There is a free Windows demo of this: you are the laser pointer, the cat is the problem, and the owner comes home at the end and rates the damage out of five paws. 210 MB. corbygamesstudio.itch.io/give-him-a-b... #indiedev #gamedev

first iteration of a procedural bridge system, for now it looks more like a rollercoster #lowpoly #gamedev #indydev #rollercoaster

Funny road bug's in vietnam. Some placed off by a mile, others float and even managed to be rendered behind clouds. #bug #flightsim #lowpoly

Today I added tree's to wood area's. To keep the retro look and FPS high i only use billboard's from 0°,30°,60° & 90° angle. Lot's of potential here, even South Park trees look better. #lowpoly #flightsim #gamedev
Mixed woodland near the airport.Trees as far as the eye can see.

The terrain model is represented by a quadtree to reduce the number of triangles during rendering. It offers 12 LODs, generated from Copernicus DEM-30. To reduce the number of triangles, neighbours with a normal vector of less than 2° are merged. #fligthsim #osm #map #solodev #lowpoly #gamedev

I started my pet project "Open Sky Sim" a while ago, just to create the flight sim i ever wanted to play back in the 90's. Pure polygon's, no textures for the retro vibe and heavy LLM support to get it done. #flightsim #flightsim #lowpoly #gamedev #solodev #retrogaming
In game rendering, of the french alps.Gran Canaria Airport, in the background you can see Tenerife
