My PSX/Doom sprite animator is coming along nicely. I now have a proper IK rig and can actually animate things, now I just need to hook up the sprite sheet exporter and we’re all set! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #dev #godot

LADDERS!! Finally got around doing ladders. Their height and steps are procedurally generated and they actually feels good #gamedev #ue5 #retrofps #indiedev #psx

Revisiting weapon system, more specifically ’aiming’ It’s surprisingly hard getting an aiming mode working reliably together with every other player system, without bugs Also: canted aiming! #indiedev #retrofps #ue5 #gamedev #unrealengine #psx

They can now throw things at you, The Last of Us style. Inspired by their E3 trailer (and ILL), NPC’s can now pickup objects and throw at you to disorient you #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #ue5 #retrofps

Doing some 2.5D ragdoll physics today It’s a blend between my previous IK logic, Reagera, and actual #ue5 physics. So far it works great, but still a bit lackluster in actual ragdoll animations. I feel this is a problem for future me #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #retrofps

Been redoing the looting containers for a more diegetic approach. So far it feels smooth but snappy, which is what I want. I think it will mesh together nicely with the other diegetic systems! #ue5 #retrofps #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Oh and this is Lumen btw! This is someone who keeps sneaking in front of my feet everyday, imagining he’s David trying to conquer Goliath. I love this weird little rat to death, but my hair can only get so gray. Similar to @freya.bsky.social I think cats and math is a match made in heaven :)

While working on my ”A-life type system”, I realised when the NPCs go into their offline state my poor little froggies loose their sense of direction. And there goes the rest of my day.. #gamedev #indiedev #ue5 #psx #retrofps

Feels good to FINALLY sit down and properly do some capsule art for the #Steam page. I feel I’ve been putting it off because these will actually define my artstyle, which is terrifying, but this feels right. One step closer to that scary green button #UE5 #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

PSA: regularly backup your goddamn projects. Use version control, or just raw dog duplicate the whole project. I just lost a month of big, and small, changes because of one corrupted file. In an attempt to restore that file, I had to recommit older stuff. #gamedev #indiedev #dev #programming

Introducing 2.5D inverse kinematics Is it necessary? no. Is it worthwhile? idk. (it’s also in full 8 directional Doom mode) #gamedev #retrofps #ue5 #unrealengine #indiedev

PARKOUR?! PARKOUR! I’m beginning to feel like this game wants to be ”Dying Light but Stalker: Anomaly” And I like it #UE5 #gamedev #retrofps #survivalgame

Introducing some verticality via free running movement. Beginning to feel smooth and grounded without feeling ”floaty” #UE5 #gamedev #retrofps #screenshotsaturday

How did I miss #UE5 built-in screenshot command?! Now I can go from 1080p to 5k resolution, Steam store page is going to be crisp #psx #indiedev #retrofps

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

First draft of the official reveal trailer is finally done, this is harder to finish than I’d like. I now actually have to set the style of the game, sigh.. Here’s some screenshots #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #ue5 #retrofps

Back to foliage again, it’s so godamn hard to nail correctly. Either the colors are off or they hurt my eyes because of the retro shader #blockbench #ue5 #retrofps #psx #screenshotsaturday

Last spam, I promise! ————— - Move + rot: models now snap to grid - Adjust export camera height - Scaling - Export sprites: 8 directions or from view - File format support: .glb + .gltf + .obj See comment below! :) (Again, model by @gapbite.bsky.social) #gamedev #software #godotengine #fluxanim

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

Rotation on Z axis is now working, next for today is position and rest of rotation editing. Making readable and not annoying gizmo is so much harder than I anticipated.. Models by the lovely @gapbite.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday #software #godot #psx #gamedev #3d

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

You can now export a sprite sheet!! Took awhile to understand how blit_rect is properly used, but finally the #software actually works as intended! Props can now be rendered into an 8 directional sprite sheet for #psx and Doom-style games Next: animation, keyframes, Ik #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 23/07/2025

Baby steps! Save/load, import .obj models, recent projects tab. Slowly it’s becoming an actual application! #gamedev #psx #fluxanim #godotengine

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

It’s way too early to show anything yet, but I’m currently working on a new standalone tool for my #psx gamedevs out there. Entirely made with #godot #gamedev

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

To whichever LEGEND decided to support me for my 8 directional sprite asset, I will kiss you on the forehead and read you a bed time story tonight! You got me a coffee out of sheer kindness, damn. It isn’t all stress and frustration with this #gamedev thing after all :)

REAGERA animation system rework is almost done, they can now trip over things and hit their heads! And more performant by filtering and tracing only what’s needed! #gamedev #unrealengine #retrofps

While prototyping vehicles, I had the genius idea to attach a rope pole. It’s gonna be fun dragging frogmen across the ground! #indiedev #retrofps #unrealengine

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

More rope physics goodness! I got rope poles where you can attach the other end. Testing some tension between pillars #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

FINALLY got rope tension. It took a lot of trail and error (and hair loss) to get here. It’s not polished in the slightest, but it works! :) #retrofps #gamedev #unrealengine

Progress for the ”Reagera” animation system is coming along. It handles character animations dynamically based on world context around the NPC’s #retrofps #gamedev #unrealengine

so, foliage is hard.. has anyone any resources for modeling actual good looking foliage? (asking for a friend) #3d #blockbench #art

Swedish buildings for #screenshotsaturday Oh Konsum, my beloved. You are missed :/ #gamedev #retrofps #unrealengine

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Alright, weapon control is coming along. You can now manually check approximate bullets left with ’left ctrl’. If you reload when checking, the reload time is considerably shorter! (Also counts the bullet in chamber) #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #retrofps
