robmikh @robmikh.com · 13/07/2026Unfortunately, I still don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to audio assets. The volume levels are all over the place, at some point I need to learn what the industry conventions are for this sort of thing.

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 · 13/04/2026Yup! I eventually want to make my own game with this engine, but for now I'm focused on HL1. 010

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.

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.
