In DEAD RIG you are trapped in a long abandoned Resurrection ship that keeps reprinting monsters that were human centuries ago. Short intense runs. The levels change, the resources are scarce, and the monsters never stop. Cut your way out. #PitchYaGame

The trick? Standard Screen-Space Shadows reconstruct the 3D space to trace rays; I apply this as a pure 2D post processing effect: I only take 4 samples (super cheap!), don't need blurring and always stays sharp. More importantly: it grounds objects, looks cool and increases the horror element.

I the flashlight to cast ultra-crisp shadows like Doom 3, built with modern tech but without its flaws: no multiple render passes, no temporal blurring, no smearing-and more importantly: optimized to run on a potato. Took me a couple days, but I got it! #indiegamedev #solodev #gamedev #raylib

I have reached such a level of depravity that I can squeeze an entire tileset worth of textures out of a single printer now

It could be worse 😂 The important bit is that despite some ups and downs, the long run aggregate is still on the (very!) positive side ☺️

Normal game developers: "yeah for slopes you raycast down and get the normal of the slope and then..." Me: slopes are tiny boxes that move around with you #indiegamedev #gamedev

#gamedev secret: start your characters with a high poly mesh and reduce as much as possible for maximum performance. I think I nailed it.

On the left: a high poly model of a space zombie. On the left: a pixelart version of the same character.
