I put aside a few hours to make a short game on Decker for NFTS Game Poems jam. is it a poem? is it a collage? it is called The Fugly Fish and it is about feeling like you are a weird fish. play on browser dotiris.itch.io/thefuglyfish

Most of our adventure game, APITN is in behind-the-MC 3rd person POV but we like fixed camera too so we decided to implement the best of both worlds #screenshotsaturday

You can adjust per volume, so it's quite flexible and easy to use since it doesn't rely on UVs. Obviously we cant move lights with this, but we can do stuff like precomputed lighting scenarios. It's actor based so easy to use, plus it's super cheap once baked!

Lumen is great, but heavy - so for APITN we modded RTXGI for a baked light approach. Put down a DDGI volume → specify the lights that should contribute to GI → bake per volume = lightweight GI that can be toggled on/off #UE5 #gamedev

i gave a talk about my favorite part about making despelote at gdc and they made it free to watch! it was a really nice opportunity to gather all my thoughts and put into words this idea that games can actually be really great at capturing the world. watch it here! gdcvault.com/play/1035816...

Had a chance to play this and many other great games at Dissonance 不穏 last weekend. Visual metaphor & memoir in bitsy form. Also so interesting to recreate a personal game from many years ago with a stronger technical, creative skillset along with a recontextualized life perspective. Remake/Re-view

Thank you to all the visitors, friends and participants who came to Dissonance: Unrest. Really appreciated the sense of a small and quiet community forming around strange / wonderful games in Tokyo. It was a great event and a pleasure to co-organize as .iris with futurala!

making a game about when you feel like your lived reality is so much like a nightmare that living in a literal nightmare world would almost make you feel better about it #screenshotsaturday #スーパーゲ制デー

It's been a challenge trying to balance the walking pace & the mood of APITN. We've settled for now on adding 3 modes: normal / hyperfocus / zoneout, to keep things slower but vibey/music-oriented #gamedev #ue5 #walkingsimulator #screenshotsaturday
