Alchemist

underhall by Alchemist bear witness to a slice of the infinite

You know, it's been such a long time since I opened Bluesky I totally forgot to post this.

I released something! Really! It's a walking simulator horror game and it's FREE on itch. I'd love it if you gave it a shot!

Apologies for the lack of updates on Defier. I've been working my ass off trying to apply for an awesome indie grant!

I've also struggled with having changes that are interesting enough to post about. "Oh the werewolf is 8% faster/the MP40 does 10% more damage" just isn't very cool in a feed imo

YouTube video by Dark Portal Gamedev Defier - Souls-Like Boomer Shooter Devlog-Lite

Alright, I've finally sat down and put together a dev video for my souls-like boomer shooter. The art is still very WIP, lots of stuff is being tested, but the gameplay really feels like it's coming together.

You can find it here:

so straight up I'm shocked people keep following me I haven't posted anything interesting in quite a while lmao.

hopefully though, cool stuff will start flowing soon. I feel like I just stepped through the burnout that's been holding me back for a few months

I mean, this is just hours played though. Indies tend to be short form single sitting experiences. You play through mouthwashing once and it's 3 hours. I'd be way more interested in sales figures.

Hey! So, I'm definitely looking for some artist help right now on a gritty boomer shooter project, feel free to DM me if you're interested!

I've been thinking about Left 4 Dead for a little while now, it's such an incredible game. Valve is stirring for the first time in ages and I can't help but hope for a third installment.

Ayo, I'd definitely appreciate being added to the pack. No worries if it's full

So True tbh nothing better than getting hammered and using hammer (or trenchbroom) (or I guess blender)

you can't be saying this im reporting you

they put chocolate on it sometimes and it's yummy

is this how you use hashtags i'm not good with computer

I have to build #trenchbroom locally to use as a level editor for the #boomershooter I'm working on, suppressing the urge to go full hog and become a contributor

having gotten my stuff up and running I'm feeling much better, it did take quite a while though

This looks fucking incredible!! Out of curiosity, how long did this take you? And what did your workflow look like?

Finally installing Linux after years of being under Microsoft's boot and Microsoft as a last fuck you bricked the install media before I could use it

Fwiw, I've found some success making the agent separate from my entities, which follow it rather than being entirely dependent on it for position/rotation. YMMV and it's a lot of set up, but you get some really nice fine tuned control

I mean, couldn't you just rotate it/modify it's forward vector?

this looks incredible. How much raw time do you think you've spent on this?

every few months a guy in the back of my head whispers for me to write a game engine in C, and I have to beat that guy to death every year

It's ok, it happens to the best of us.

I spent like 40 minutes trying to get him to laugh at a bit where I presented he was a urologist and called him dr pee. he hasn't returned my calls since..

breaking: local game dev roped into modded minecraft playthrough, productivity expected to drop

I've been taking a proper break from game dev, I burned all the way out and didn't notice until I took a second to breathe.

I'll have some cool stuff to show off soon, you're just gonna have to wait and see

Fuck 'em do it anyways

Today, I remade te Rewind system ^^

Now it's easy to just add the values that we want to track in the initialisation of an object
And now the rewinding is smoother 🦦
(it will also be useful if I want to compact the rewind data ^^)

my fucking tummy hurts

Hey, it'd be awesome if you could include me :)

I'd love to be added if you could

Elden Ring did it for me, nothing has come close since. I can't replay that game and it has a multitude of problems but its scope is nothing short of unbelievable.
