Just met you once in Berlin - hosting an open decks party at your red firetruck where anyone could join and play whatever they want - that was awesome :3

I need to change the way light attenuation works in the engine.

Though I really like the previous visual style - the way light sources worked leaked to much light way beyond the light source's range.

Since light will play an important role in gameplay I needed something more readable and classic:

I finally added entity composition to the engine. To test it I made some torches - composed of a mesh, flipook animations and audio source (via #SteamAudio) πŸ”Š

Today I spent some time at medieval Ikea and did some woodwork in Blender, here are the in-engine results!

These cupboards will probably hide some loot in the game.

I played the demo for Queen's Domain during my lunch break. It's absolutely gorgeous. If you are craving for a King's Field-like game, then this one should be at the top of your list.

Super cool - especially the Webgl target without emscripten! Will give it a try the next game jam I manage to attend :) btw - will the Odin jam be happening again?

The final feature I worked on in 2025: mesh entity highlighting.
It’s a simple white color mix - going full OG Thief style.
Will be using it to highlight interactions to the player.

I wish you all a Happy New Year! πŸŽ‰β€οΈ

thank you ❀️ and yes, agree - crunchy dithering on a low-resolution viewport and low-poly models do work just well together!
