Day/Night cycle!.... Is much harder than it looks. Baking becomes very complex, AO Power needs adjusting, shadows need masking, fog needs thickening, and colors are constantly changing. Here's what we've got so far. #gameDev #indieDev #nature #mountains #lowStress

Last month I was laid off from Xbox after working there for 16 years. It was a massacre... I have worked on titles like Halo, Minecraft, and more... I guess it's their loss. I decided it was time to join up with a good friend & make something we've always wanted to make. #gameDev #indieDev #nature

Spent the whole day fighting a shader graph to make water drizzle down a window. It works now and I hate it. So of course I'll redo it tomorrow. #gameDev #indieDev

Seems like you should make it! Especially if you want it small. I'd join if you'd have me

Hey friends! Chipotle is only a 10 minute walk from #GDC 🌯 ... Let's talk games over a burrito! Thrilled to be headed to #GDC2026 next week where I'll be representing both myself as an #indieDev and #Xbox. I'll be giving an exclusive talk about Xbox AI, moderating round tables, and more! #gameDev

"I want to sleep like I did when I was a boy. Give me that. Just.. One time." - Raymond Reddington A quote that keeps living in my head rent free. It takes me back to a time where AI was only in the movies & products were something you could own (not subscribe to) & ppl didn't have cell phones...

Update: To those reading this, this request is closed - I've narrowed down my choices to a select few folks. Thanks for your interest!

I have a few videos/screenshots of incredibly early looks that I've posted here

Maybe. Still in the funnel...

When I posted that I was looking for an artist to help with some simple icons I had no idea I would have to spend 50% of the time weeding out scammers.

Whoa I check this two hours later and there's a ton of interest. Let me parse thru all these, and get back to you all

Looking for an artist in #gameDev who would be willing to make some commercial game assets for me. Right now, I need icons, like these pictured. If all goes well, perhaps we can partner on more of the game. DMs are open, hit me up with your pricing, I will pay! #lookingForArtist #hungryArtists

Haven't updated in a while - but here's a art touch-up pass I did this weekend for my Parchment game. I still have tons of work to do, and mountains look awful, but hey - progress is progress. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gameart #ineedanartist

What if this image doesn't represent multiple servers in different regions, but logically represents what **one** dedicated game server could look like (logically)? dev.porschiey.io/posts/buildi... #indieDev #gameDev #soloDev

it’s cool how millennials were perfectly primed to see everything get really, really innovative as children and then see it all go down in spectacular flame as adults. we’re so lucky

There's just not enough room to describe what's going on in the server and client comms. I'll have to make a whole different video for it. 😆

I've been excited to build new groundbreaking multiplayer server tech after spending 15+ years at #Xbox & #halo. Ignoring the crappy temporary dev-UI art, this showcases a city on a *persistent cloud realm* researching tech and producing units. #indieDev #soloDev #gameDev #unity3d #multiplayer

Hahaha! Too many years working on a team has trained me to at least have a few words so that future me can find where I messed up

git commits be like 😆 What source control do you use and why? #indieDev #gameDev #soloDev

Porschiey @porschiey.io · 04/10/2025

Oh nice! Yeah we have similar stuff for sure. Yes, I have a "paper material" texture that I blend in, then I use the water mask to create shore ripples, and then animate blotch revealing that on each map slice as the map shader. The mountains & trees are layered in with a diff shader.

Porschiey @porschiey.io · 04/10/2025

PPM (portable pixmap format): an image format, but very bare bones: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm The PPM is essentially the biome channel/ctrl layer for me. Elevation comes in as an "alpine" biome & I paint on mountain stamps with it using a gradient. Very cool you're doing dungeons too!

Whoa, just read your game site. Very interesting!

Porschiey @porschiey.io · 03/10/2025

Thanks! I'll check it out. We could potentially collab, yeah! My generator is server side (multiplayer game) and spits out a ppm, and several masks (water, mountain, trees as one payload per slice.

Procedurally generated fantasy map w/ crappy sprites, v0.001. Making it functional before I make it more beautiful. Oh... I also need to make it unload of course. 😉 #indieDev #gameDev #dnd #fantasyMap #soloDev

What settings do you like best? Here's a super early screen recording of the animation for revealing a fantasy map that was procedurally generated. #gameDev #indieDev #unity3d

For sure! I'll be posting some early screenshots / dev diary stuffs in the coming days

Porschiey @porschiey.io · 30/09/2025

Working on a game with no generative AI when my job all day for work is to inject generative AI into my workflow is quite the juxtaposition. I think of it like a detox, or drinking an organic smoothie after having McDonalds. 😆

Hey thanks! Love the concept of your site, btw.
