I love diegetic UI so much that I spent the last month building this bad boy #indiegame

I just watched a bit and it's probably the worst possible way ever to showcase a game like this. I don't want nor need a guy shouting or babbling random shit every few minutes, no matter how famous might be. Makes me sad and honestly less interested in the game now :(

Last week I read The nameless city for the nth time, and I thought: wouldn't it be cool to make a game set in there? It would be like... a FPS Spelunky (procedural generation, physical items) but with the atmosphere of Amnesia the bunker. Wouldn't it be something cool?

(...) "we have very little terminology for such processes" (...) resonates a lot more with games and the way to make them. We literally have no words or definitions for so many concepts...

Congratulations and welcome to the parents club! :)

I AM MORE THAN READY!!! :D Every day that I work with raylib I find new ideas and ways to create better games; this jam will be the perfect time to try some new crazy approaches and game ideas. Cannot wait for the theme voting to be revealed :)

It looks awesome :) Do you use some hot reloading for the shaders, pass debug variables that you can tweak on the fly, or something else?

I cannot believe I launched REPUNK 2 years ago already! Time really flies. To celebrate the anniversary, you can get the game at 70% off on Steam right now - the biggest discount ever!

I just discovered you and I have to say, I love your art :)

I often feel I'm the weird one for optimizing my games to be just a few GB max., but I cannot be the only one to value games that don't eat my whole disk, right?

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

Exactly! It's a C/C++ app running a JS interpreter which runs your JS code.

Almar | MAKING DEAD RIG @repunkgame.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

There is no setup at all! You download the binaries and write pure JS, You can drag and drop on the binary to load an example or do a command to launch the main.js of your chosing. It has a few examples already. It's more like a "player" for JS code with raylib already binded, no wasm required.

Almar | MAKING DEAD RIG @repunkgame.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

For a few quick tests though - it's awesome, and the API call matches perfectly the C code (in case you want to go full native later on).

010

Almar | MAKING DEAD RIG @repunkgame.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Pros: no need to setup your environment; you write pure JS; you get to test it right away. Cons: it's using an old raylib version, not everything is supported (it's missing animation and mesh manipulation); recompiling the whole thing is harder than raylib; QuickJS is great but slower than just C.

I read your comments and you mentioned you love JS (I do too!). Compiling against raylib will be the best way to use it, but if you just want to "try it out", you can check rayjs: github.com/mode777/rayjs. It's basically an executable (for Linux too) and you write pure JS, using raylib's API.

Oh hi there! I'm still alive, crunching the steam page for my sci-fi horror game. Stay tuned for more in the coming days! :) #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #solodev

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

Ginger, if only because there are quite a few dino worlds already.

Almar | MAKING DEAD RIG @repunkgame.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Multiple reasons: it's not easy to create something without references and keep an internal cohesion; there is a somewhat limited "palette" of themes that resonate with humans; and last but not least, totally new rules require new gameplay which is hard to teach. Hard to make, harder to sell.

Trying to fix a bug with decals I discovered I could just tint them to whatever and call it a feature #indiegamedev #solodev

Added a sort of clone stamp tool, but for animals and very fast and overwhelming
