Added PBR surface features (roughness, AO, etc) to Shadowglass’ rendering 😍

Will probably tone it down so it doesn’t kill the retro vibes, but fun to see in action!

Project Shadowglass just passed 100K wishlists in its first 4 weeks on Steam.

I don't even know what to say... (but I'll figure it out because you all deserve a proper thank you πŸ’™πŸ˜­)

Last night the rendering system for Shadowglass got a ~150fps(!!!) performance gain at no cost, and all because @godotengine.org lets us work with its source code 😭

Top ranked games in the Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1

2199 jam entries, and my little story game β€œomw home” ranked 12th overall?? 😱

Ratings were from fellow jammers only, so I’m shocked and honored to be on that first page of incredible games!! ❀️

As a game dev, I know I should be all things PC... but honestly consoles have the strengths of being so much more simple to use, which means less in the way of you and the game, and having a standardized spec sheet devs can directly optimize for everyone. Also couches, man.

omw home. by Dominick John Can you prevent heartbreak by being absolutely perfect?

Whew, made a game from scratch in 4 days! The jam's theme was "Nothing can go wrong".

My experiment was having environmental interactions having an effect on narrative.

It's browser (and on a phone) playable if you care to check it out 😊 dominickjohn.itch.io/omw-home

Later start than I’d like for Brackeys Game jam, but got a full idea and basic controls down!

Making it mostly a mouse / touch controlled game as that’s how i assume most people will be playing these in browser or on a device.

nothing can go wrong and mechanical mayhem sound fun, but I'm down to try something totally out of my wheelhouse!
