iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I don't think the issue is "player turns when camera turns", because that's just the side effect when camera's Y-rotation provides the current forward direction for the player to prevent pressing forward moving you backwards for example. I think I just need to avoid sudden sharp angle shifts.

True. Mostly some added visuals honestly. But also <redacted>, so probs best to practice game dev self control lol.

At this point debating if any changes I do to level 1 should be kept secret until full release or if it would be benefitial to make one more patch later to the demo to make it as playable as it can be until full release.

Just to get it out there, the controls are supposed to feel at least a little floaty in Dimension Twist, but not to the point of like being on ice in the air as many have felt it is. I appreciate people letting me know, but I don't have intensions to make stopping instant.

"This is so stupid, why does it do that, does player's Y-position really matter that much on simple paths???" Turns out no. Fuck lol.

sAm @samdrawngame.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

There's been one more mini patch update to the DT demo. In short: camera back and forth motion from simple jumps no longer applies. Apologies for such a simple change after the main patch release, I was tinkering around a bit and made an annoyingly simple discovery lol.

Was asked why I don’t just reuse the assets of every level and make 25 instead of just 5. 5 levels is a realistic, more doable scope for me at this time. Plus, I feel the uniqueness of the levels would suffer if I did 4 more of each that weren’t secret off to the side paths lol.

1 thing I do wanna try and get working for the maintenance release: wumpa count up queue. I didn't know about recursion (method calling itself while something is true) at the time of coding the UI, and after learning to use it I'm tempted to make the DT feel just a little more visually pleasing.

That being said, if you're a time trialist or just wanna share your results, over on the Itch page Tabreez started a Best Times topic If it helps or motivates, my dev time was done using keyboard. So it is somewhat forgiving for the dedicated folks. itch.io/t/7063178/be...

Took a few tries, but I got the Platinum relic in the Dimensional Twist demo. Will release a full video on the game soon Congrats again to @samdrawngame.bsky.social for getting the demo finished, and thanks again for letting me be a part of the game! #CrashBandicoot #fangame #sAm_art

I'm spending today just trying not to look at Dimension Twist related things and letting it just exist, let people mess with it and let me know what works or not or what broke so far. I'll gladly have a proper read and take notes for a maintenance release later.

I fudged up the Gamejolt release and left it on private dev log download only or something for an hour. SHOULD be fixed now lol sorry, I'm a WRECK rn, always am during releases.

Supposed to quickly get some time trial times tested and written down, with cold nervous hands lmao. Think I might do both keyboard and controller version for dev time, and use the keyboard time for in-game, mention the controller time somewhere else.

4 hours until midnight. Feels like there's still a gazillion things to do, but I don't wanna delay the demo release just because perfectionism paralysis or something. Do what I still can and leave it at, some time today preferably.

One more day. Been decorating to the best of my ability and polishing up jumping to be the most consistent it can be rn, meaning that super jumps and character deciding not to jump off of crate should be more rare to occur.

The furry fandom has been a really welcoming space towards queers & neurodivergent people alike Just because they're a bit weird doesn't mean they deserve to be censored to death Even when furries are more known now, there's still misconceptions that others still believe, especially right wingers

Why is one outline crate's solid crate always disabled despite not getting hit by the player? Idfk. And I don't care. It works now. And I am BEHINNNNNNND on animations.

sAm @samdrawngame.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I'm so mad lol. Most of day wasted thinking I fixed outlines and trigger crates not swapping correctly when level resets before and after checkpoint set, and watching them brake again. The problem ultimately? Disabled check before toggling outlines off. And one crate always being disabled *shrug*
