Some Deltarune doodles... turns out Schoolhouse Rock's style works very nicely on them

Forehead Chip is a #cyberpunk #runandgun pixel-platformer set within a body-implant dystopia. Where inside, if you dent the cityโ€™s shiny surface, everything is not as it seems...

Originally, REDUX Solutions was going to have enemies! ๐ŸŒ

Enemies were cut on the last day cause we didn't have time to polish them. Here is an early video from when I was programming them!

We eventually decided on a charging-bull behaviour.

Here is a short in-progress video for REDUX Solutions! It shows the beginnings of art integration and the main axe mechanics. ๐ŸŽ‰

Oh thatโ€™s fantastic! I remember really enjoying NBoCโ€™s Swan Lake! (It also holds a place in my heart because my first ever ballet solo was Swan Lake.)

I helped out with some grimy industrial music for this game jam, give it a look!

This was a BIG departure from what we'd normally make, especially for a 6-day jam!

I particularly enjoyed working on all the shaders and post processing.

I also liked adding in the adaptive audio. Drums kick in when you get damaged, and the audio gets muffled when you're under water.

I did the programming, rendering, and lighting.

All the art and level design was done by @beaubeausiwa.bsky.social! They did an amazing job; I LOVE how it looks!

Music was wonderfully done by @connorgrail.bsky.social! He really nailed exactly what we were going for!

Oh thatโ€™s awesome! I love participating in local programming and meeting Canada-based game devs! LoJam died for a few years during Covid, but weโ€™ve slowly been growing it back! I have a lot of fun running it and participating in it!

Making a game for the London Ontario Jam! Itโ€™s very different than what Iโ€™d usually make, so Iโ€™m really excited to get started on it! ๐Ÿ‘€

Iโ€™ll definitely be posting updates as they happen!

Here's an old tutorial I made for a distortion shader in Unity!

It's my best performing YouTube video, and whenever I look at it I think about how I'd like to make more game-dev videos. ๐Ÿค”

I'm putting together a Canada game dev starter pack in response to this idiotic tariff war so people can support Canada-based game devs through follows / purchases if they choose to.

Reply if you're a game dev in Canada and you want to be on it. Please repost. Thanks!

Started work on a Save System for my Godot Library!

Currently it works as follows:

SavedTrackable.create("saved_var", "value")
var ref := SaveManager.get_saved_trackable("saved_var")

It automatically loads and saves any Variant type (including nodes!).

Ooo fun! I'd love to hear how you go about it if you ever have the chance! Mine sort of looks like this. Anyone can subscribe to any Events that can be found in the EventManager.

Been a hot second, but I have done some more game dev work!

I made a nifty Event system for Godot. It's like an event bus / wrapper for signals. I'm happy with how it works right now! It's quite generic and modular. I'm looking to expand it.
