I'll keep it short, one of the developments of Half-Life: Extended requires medical help. Everything is explained in the team's post. And the team has a Fundrazer and needs $2000. So please help if you can! www.moddb.com/mods/half-li...

We need your help news - Half-Life: Extended mod for Half-Life

One of our developers suffered from a stroke, and we need your help covering his medical bills through a fundraiser.

Worked on things a little after the stream but here's a sample. Some more finalized looking graphics for mug shots during dialogue. Not sure if I'll leave things monochrome or not to match the text but here's both. #gamedev #indiedev

While Half-Life is very much a game that defines me for being part of the modding scene and overall community for well over a decade, this game and console pictured here is what flipped the switch in my little kid brain all the way back in Christmas of 1999.

Alot of people do not know the influence Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker had on the first Half-Life game. They should have been credited tbh.

Completely redid the cinematic camera for screenshots. Decided to try just freezing Cam's model in place and pausing animation instead of using existing Quake code that duplicates the player model and all the sequencing and blending. Turns out it works much better! #gamedev #indiedev

With #SpyroCommunityDay tomorrow I'd like todo my usual thing and share some media from my Spyro in Half-Life mod that is starting to near its 10th anniversary scarily enough! It was a really fun project and it always sticks in the back of my mind to return to it one day... #gamedev #indiedev

Despite the Valve leak taking some of my interest for the minute, TDF still has some progress being made. Probably going to do another dev steam this Saturday! #gamedev #indiedev

Testing out a heavy WIP dialogue system with a very cool fact you probably didn't even know! #gamedev #indiedev #coolfacts

Since the last stream I've been redoing code to optimize and make things simpler to process but more versatile without becoming if/else hell. One thing is this tag system for entities. Things like tagging a object or npc that Cam will look out is much simpler now. #gamedev #indiedev

Still working on the NPC and dialog system. Not much interesting to show so here's beaver dance. #gamedev #indiedev

I think I've shown this off in the past in my Discord but weapon upgrades are an idea I'd like to have in the final product and here's an example of two for the shotgun. A firing speed, and maximum ammo upgrade. #gamedev #indiedev

Got collectables that sync between the levels and hub world working! Precursor orb for scale... and testing. #gamedev #indiedev

Might stream later this evening so people can watch me suffer from programming hell. #gamedev #indiedev

The picture is irrelevant to the text but shows a fox in shorts and a tanktop shooting a not good wolf thats evil.

Working on a new save/restore, and status system for the maps and entities within them. This isn't a linear set of maps like Quake or Half-Life and will work in a hub->level->hub arrangement. Anyways, here's an old wip Jak outfit for Cam that looked crap so I never finished it! #gamedev #indiedev

I do have a VPN but age verification is already rolling out for Bluesky. Immediately bowed down and crumbled huh. I still have my Xwitter account and a Discord you can join if you don't see yourself using this much longer. chat.wizardzone.net

Alright Cryptid Carrots I hear you! Apparently there is a really cool game in development inspired by games like the OG Ratchet & Clank, called "That Damn Fox" made by developer @wizardzone.net I will definitely look more into this and play it on stream :3 magic-nipples.itch.io/that-damn-fox

That Damn Fox by Magic Nipples

A Quake engine based third person platformer with some high-octane gunplay action!

Since I'm stuck on the scripts for the quaternion and seesaw platform videos, I'm going to make a demonstration video on all the current enemies in the game. People ask about them so one cohesive video on them will help. 2 aren't pictured here. #gamedev #indiedev
