Brutal Base Texture Pack by Shallow Thinking Games Retro texture pack in the style of 90s/00s shooter games.

It may shock you to hear that you can still get this and it's FREE! You can and should do so! But if you like you can give me money when you grab it, as a treat. (The treat is you get to feel smug about supporting small business.)

Thunder Helix - been experimenting with breaker waves to add extra detail. #gamedev #lowpoly #flightsim 🚁

Yup, just don't make mistakes 🤷

It's not really available yet. But it's less shhh and more like ewww, since it's missing so many features (e.g. no undo 😅)

Trying stuff out in Deluxe Poly.
Vector/frame animation is gonna be so good :D

Deluxe Poly - making me wonder just how many scroll bars I've written in my career ... #lowpoly #pixelart #indiedev 🐟

-Verification?
-You betcha.
-Sweet mother.

Some RA2 traced stuff in Deluxe Poly :)

It's for Windows 👍

I figure if Mrmo kicks the tires a bit first it'll help improve the workflows, etc. There's a lot of missing functionality r.n. too so it will be more enjoyable at release. 👍

It's not available yet. I plan to put up a Steam page for it early next year.

Remember the Tom Hanks movie "Big"? There was a CGA looking adventure game shown in the movie that didn't actually exist. But in 2020 someone made a real DOS game based on what was shown in the film! Play it nowwwww

Double shot in Deluxe Poly :)

A selection of missiles, sheels and rockets painted in CGA colours in modo

CGA projectiles, another block of work done in this big and definitely worthwhile task! #lowpoly #gamedev

Enhance. #lowpoly #pixelart

Retro low-res vector illustration; traced image of a crow's head. Processed to look like it's been displayed on a CRT.

Crow tracing in Deluxe Poly, with some of my CRT processing on top :)

Battlefield 1980s

two freakish looking characters in CGA colours with white faces and black glove, looking more like mimes.

Yikes, they look like mimes, back to the drawing board !

If you thought the vehicles and landscapes look strange - I'm converting all the humans to support CGA now 😅

That's a favourite of mine, one of the first CGA games I ever played (along with Alley Cat) - Good times !

EGA beach 😎

Unusual graphics detected on the radar, sir.

Dragonfell running on four Psion Series 3 machines, showing off various different aspects of the game. Having too many Psions does have its advantages after all. From left to right: the new game menu where a player chooses what level of computer opponent to play against, or alternatively to play against a human opponent; the strategic map where the player gives armies to move around the land; the production map where the player decides what units to produce and where; and the tactical map where battles are fought when opposing armies try to occupy the same region on the strategic map.

Taking a break from MS-DOS, I've been working on a game for the #PsionSeries3 pocket computer. Dragonfell is a #HOMM inspired game where two sides raise armies of creatures and send them against one another across a decaying land, trying to seize the other's citadel. It goes into beta test today.

quake brutalism jam update. starting playtests now (grab it in the discord if you want to help) and then gonna squeeze in a final polish / set dressing pass before the deadline

"you can't avoid using generative AI forever" yes i can. i'm creative, i can use my brain, i'll figure it out

Cheers, thank you 😊

Thunder Helix - last of the CGA helicopter conversions. The Lewis is a totally unique design, honest. #flightsim #gamedev #lowpoly #solodev #indiedev 🚁

I just realised that scrolling can be used to do temporal reprojection of interlaced lines to reduce the artefacts. Only in 2d space but still 😮!
