I’ve added a simple railway network with points and level crossings. Bridges and mountainous terrain are the biggest challenge. Due to the low detailed terrain, the tracks often become ski jumps, with steep inclines. #flightsim #retrogaming #solodev #railway #gamedev #lowpoly
safety first, we need railway crossing even if we don't have trains yetrailway pointrailway bridge in the alpsroller coaster ascent

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

The body animations look fantastic in your game, how did you do that? Some kind of Motion Capuring?

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
