robmikh @robmikh.com · 13/07/2026Another #ScreenshotSaturday post after a weekend of #gamedev. I couldn't resist messing around with physics now that Box3D has released... and I'm liking it so far! Here's a small demo with the shooting gallery test map I've been testing with. 1144
robmikh @robmikh.com · 06/07/2026One engine refactor later, and I've returned with a new #ScreenshotSaturday post. I've finally separated the engine code from the game code, so adding new features is much easier. I've added the func_guntarget entity, which will be the backbone of my shooting gallery map. Here it is in HL's t0a0b2: 1104
robmikh @robmikh.com · 26/05/2026After a weekend of #gamdev and wrestling with Blender, I have something to show for #ScreenshotSaturday! Better late than never. I decided to replace the reload animation on my revolver, and add some sound effects. It's a first attempt, but good enough for some playtesting and prototyping. 1112
robmikh @robmikh.com · 20/04/2026Squeezed in some more gamedev time, so I've got another #ScreenshotSaturday / #gamedev post! My engine now understands the material the player is stepping on, and is able to play the appropriate sound. Additionally, I started hooking up weapons to the audio system. 2134
robmikh @robmikh.com · 13/04/2026Time for a new #ScreenshotSaturday / #gamedev post! I've got audio hooked up into my engine. For now it's limited to ambient_generic entities, footsteps, and doors, but I'm working to add more. Next up are weapon sounds. 2123

robmikh @robmikh.com · 24/02/2026Finally finished a tool to make exporting .blend files easier for use in my game engine, nmdist. Should I have used the Python plugin system? Probably. Was it more fun to reverse engineer the .blend format? Absolutely. I still need to write a blog post so that future me knows how this all works. 000

robmikh @robmikh.com · 12/01/2026New #ScreenshotSaturday / #gamedev post! This weekend I worked on adding avoidance features to NPC movement. The slowdown looks a little goofy (scientists don't have a generic slower walk animation) but it'll work for now. They'll also avoid the player. 161

robmikh @robmikh.com · 01/01/2026New year, new #ScreenshotSaturday / #gamedev post. The past few days I decided to focus on some loose ends on lighting. Togglable and flickering lights have been implemented, as well as making NPCs properly lit. No more glowing scientists! 181

robmikh @robmikh.com · 07/10/2025For this #ScreenshotSaturday and #gamedev period, I started on the networking side of multiplayer support in my game engine. Things are held together with duct tape and paperclips right now, but I've got a path forward now to implement full Quake-like networking. 1123
robmikh @robmikh.com · 29/09/2025For this #ScreenShotSaturday, I laid the foundation for multiplayer support in my game engine. I've rigged up the ability for multiple players, and to spawn computer-controlled players whose inputs are derived from demo files. This let me test things before I had the network transport in place. 161

robmikh @robmikh.com · 07/09/2025I got some game dev time in this weekend to add env_fade entities and the title card sequence for Half-Life.

robmikh @robmikh.com · 27/05/2025A #ScreenshotSaturday and #GameDev post for what I got done during the long weekend. I've continued to flesh out trains, and now you can properly ride them! Here's the beginning of Half-Life (c0a0) in my engine: 1101
robmikh @robmikh.com · 20/05/2025A late #ScreenshotSaturday post, but this weekend I squeezed in more #GameDev time. This time around I've focused on implementing more entities to get Half-Life's c0a0 up and running. I implemented the idle animation usage of scripted_sequence and func_tracktrain. 173

robmikh @robmikh.com · 07/04/2025A late #GameDev and #ScreenshotSaturday post. This weekend I started wiring up NPC collisions. NPCs will now stop moving when they collide with something and start moving again when they're able to. In the future I'd like to tie the NPC's speed to their animation, so they aren't walking in place. 1213
