Hay hay! ✨ Finally got one enemy behaving how I wanted 👀 Thinking of adding reaction animations to show mood, and a dev suggested making hats react too, sounds fun 😄 Once foes do more than "walk" and "punch," you notice how much the player needs tweaking 😂 Game dev never ends. #GameDev #IndieGame

Hay hay! 👋 Hey hey! 👋 Just another day clobbering imps while I tweak SOE 😅 Quick Q: when you explore a game, what sticks with you more, music or visuals? A killer score can totally flip a location; I remember some worlds mostly by their tunes 🎵 #GameMusic #Gaming

Not sure who wants a bit of debug info, but here’s one nugget... that’s all I’m saying :3 Fun trick: stun an imp, then hurl it into another. #IndieGame #UnrealEngine

Hay hay all... I am thinking I might be post less and just try make more of SOE rather than post samy stuff more and more... so updates are gonna get slower, but the project is still very much alive! #Indiedev

Hay, I have been playing with the spline limbs and all... and they fun to use and all that but I have no clue what attacks I should even make... just wanted to make sure the name Scarf of Embers is a game where the scarf plays a roll... if you have ideas of attacks let me know! #SoloDev #Indiegame

Got the Saturn tool (it needs a name) to have a simple 3rd person controller and there's something about having this run... I really thing there's a fun tool here! What kinda tools you think would be useful for a sega Saturn editor? #retro

Meowdy! A peek at SaturnForge's editor 🪐 Working on a full VDP2 tile editor and hardware effects! Scene baking helps FPS and culling, but CD read speeds are my new enemy... :3 Saturn dev is HARD, but it's been a nice break from SOE. Vids soon! #SegaSaturn #IndieDev

I was on character design crack so I whipped her up on a whim. Her name is Mirage and she’s gonna double as an OC apart of two fandoms because I couldn’t make up my mind. The two lores will be seperate ✨ #HazbinHotel | #Creepypasta | #Mirage

Meowdy again! 🪐 Got distracted making a UI editor and scene loading manager :b New SaturnForge test! The baker makes a huge difference: level 2 has a fully polygonal floor and holds 30 FPS on real hardware! Still WIP. VDP2 tricks work too! Somehow it’s 1am :3 #IndieDev #SegaSaturn #Lowpoly

Ohhhh but you where right that vdp2 would do a better job at this than polys

Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Oh of course, I already set up the tool to even let you use vdp2 as a kinda tile map painter (I mean with some clever usage you could even copy how sonic r did it) right now I am just testing how far I can go with polys and where I could improve my renders, but might switch to vdp2 incase

A lot of people kept asking or saying how I should look at how Sonic R did fading... well here's your smelly fading... AND the tool now has the effect bulit in, so now it is as easy as moving a slider... also got VDP2 doing more load sky... (This is running on a Saturn emulator right now) #Retrodev

Been a while sorry, I've been moving the old modelling tool to blender and making a link to the Saturn tool and it works... Woot (you don't have to use the blender plugin if you don't want to, still can import objs) #retrodev #lowploy

Still deving away on my sega Saturn engine... So one thing I am doing is trying to see ways to help FPS and overall rendering... Still rough with these bigger levels (I know this level isn't big...) the Saturn is hard one to code for.... #lowpoly

Will post some screen shots later, but you do have a lot of control over things currently... Just feels clunky and slow to work with.

Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Well it's currently very rough and basic... But it is making logic for the Saturn and it is playable... Even got a UI animator... Is this something people want?

Thank you, and same for me! Only issue is Saturn dev is a mission lol so a simple tool that does the heavy lifting for people to have fun with us my main goal

Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Ohhh it does a lot more too! It can pack your atlas for you, UV faces. Export and replace tiles on the file. Ohhh and preset up your colours too :p it will grow and get better. Gonna be fun!

Been making updates: I made my tool feel more like an engine easier to move around and added support for custom OBJs as brushes (textures still need setup). Did some cleanup and it generates trims and updates them when you switch textures. #retro #indie

I would need to rnd the PS1 a boy more right now the goal is just the Saturn and once the Saturn is reliable, I might start porting to the PS1 or make the PS1 version have its own program? Not sure... Would be cool to have a full on retro editor... But right now this one is kinda a mess

Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Ohhh this is where my new brush tool comes in for level editing, it only works in quads and merges the brushes... Oh it looks and works so nicely!!!
100
Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
The PS1 (if I ever bother going that for with it) might get a different level editor all together... Right now my mind is split on making a 2d editor incase a user wants to make 2d games and really make the most of vdp2. Off topic I do kinda like the Saturn's two CPUs

Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Oh geez I would have to say making tools to keep the Saturn happy, the older versions of the map editor would make tris and the Saturn didn't mind drawing the tris... But mapping anything to them nope... Even with hacking nonsense it didn't work. But my new tool completely removes that issue now.

Currently just Saturn... This console has some annoying quirks but I love it, I might try and look at the psOne once the Saturn side is all happy.

Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
A front end, no real map editor... But a really dumb reason is... I always wanted a editor like this for the Saturn nothing more lol.

Hinges @pvthinge.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
I added some simple visual effects (presets to make life easier) and got around to cleaning up the texture paint menu. I am busy working on the exporter and doing a lot of emulation stuff right now. #retrodev #lowpoly
