Final update for now, barring any extra bugs I missed! - Added a yellow line on the floor to indicate when exiting the safety zone and into the render camera's view - Simplified and fixed all toggles - Isometric camera pickup is now global - Iso camera render texture now higher resolution!

As good a time as any to post the greatest intro to any JRPG ever. The scene work in the limited top-down perspective, the timing of the music, the dialogue... And the worst part of it is that hardly anyone's seen it. It plays when idling at the title screen. Wild Arms deserves to be studied!

Canceling my VRC+ subscription, ‘cause it doesn’t matter how much I love ya; I still haven’t heard a peep about AI disclosure, so now I am forced to speak with my wallet. It’s that simple. I urge everyone else to cancel as well. Send a message.

Updated with auto-seat adjuster and EN to JP localization! I also made the shot camera larger, so now you can take better pictures of your friends at the perfect angle for all your disc 2-related shitposts

🎂🎂🎂Happy 27th Birthday, Dreamcast!🎂🎂🎂 I'll never forget the depth of your game library and how wonderfully diverse and creative your peripherals were

An illustration of Sonic holding the Dreamcast Twin Sticks next to Ulala from Space Channel 5 Part 2 holding a Dreamcast controller with a Seaman microphone, with Beat from Jet Grind Radio behind them holding a fishing controller. They are all intertwined by the cords of their peripherals, while behind them is a giant Dreamcast glowing gently over them. In the background are floating Chao, Light Chao, and Dark Chao, Amigo from Samba de Amigo, and a Chu Chu and Kapu Kapu. Also Seaman looking upset at Ulala, maybe Ulala said some crass words that he didn't enjoy

Ok so there is this trend of stylized art in games using way too much PBR detailing. OOT today was a good example of what not to do. I think one project that goes overlooked was FFIX Project Memoria. A good example of handling modern PBR and Stylized artstyles www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaMi...

Spell Name: Ablation Cast Type: Flotilla Like every spell, the player can customize the various attributes of Flotilla to alter the projectile speed, spawn rate, number of knives, and so on. This was a fun one to make. Just aim, then release the spell to unleash the knives. #gamedev #godot

Jinx spell complete. This one took a bit, as there are six different possible outcomes: - 3 Stars (fullscreen attack) - 3 Diamonds (healing) - 3 Skulls(enemy)(instant kill) - 3 Skulls(boss)(4x damage) - Fail to match (1x damage) - Exceed max # active targets (1 unavoidable damage) #godot #gamedev

Using a combination of LUTs and tweaks to world brightness, contrast, and saturation to handle independent, real-time transitions between weather events and time of day. Audio is dynamic, too. Gonna pull back a bit on the saturation during weather, but I'm pleased, overall. #godot #gamedev

Kept working on my "loop finder" tool this morning. This version is meant more for building a PSX soundfont from scratch - lets you load a WAV file, resample it, mess with the loop points & preview a waveform of the loop, play/stop the resulting audio, and then export WAV+SFZ from it

12 new sounds today to finish off the Call spell. Call allows the caster to move a sustained point of energy around the field. Powerful, though the caster is vulnerable while it is in use. Check the alt text for how this spell behaves differently when customized! #gamedev #godot

Since it's been a while since an update...audio is going well, but I also finalized the visuals for Scarlight, the beam spell. Powerful, but expensive. This spell is also compatible with the Charge Effect, allowing you to immediately cast at full power! Check the alt text to see what the stats do.

Playing Trails has me pining for the old days of creating JRPGs. The constructions of towns, the representation of cultures and regions, the transportive power of a story imbued within a 16x16 grid; the necessary restraint of crafting such a world and story so deliberately in this way…uwaaa ✨

Parents freshly divorced. Smaller house, smaller TV, no internet. A Dreamcast. A hand-me-down ThinkPad, two school transfers, low grades. No friends. Daft Punk’s Discovery album. 9/11. And Adult Swim. I can still remember looking forward to bedtime every night, no matter what else was going on.
