I played a bunch on Friday and regret spending time arguing on a forum instead of attending to my responsibilities. Much like my actual 2003 experience.

If your FPS doesn't have a shotgun I don't want to play it.

Work keeps me traveling so I haven't been able to do any personal gamedev for a couple weeks. But next weekend is GGJ which will be fun!

I played the demo this weekend and canโ€™t reccomend it strongly enough! Screaming Head is wild, give it the love it deserves.

Basic shooting of physics objects is in, so that's one more thing out of the way.

Not as nice looking as the neon lights, but it shows off the animation stepper a little better, and some progress I've made on the controller, and UI.

Hopefully a GIF does a better job showing off the graphics. I put everything into a cyberpunk environment, just to see how it'd look. Not too bad! Absolutely not sure what to do with this though, but I added shooting today.

Just experimenting with some FPS vibes today. I implemented stepped animation so the weapon only animates at 12fps but everything else runs at a normal frame rate.

Taking it RIGHT to the wire, I finished the hospital chapter today and sent it to friends to playtest. Still needs a lot of polish, but it's coming along. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

My gift for everyone is a Unity package containing everything I've made for Ravenfield Vanilla+ so far. Messily organized and includes some fairly subpar asset work, but feel free to use this as you see fit (apart from just reselling).

I think my retro post process is reaching it's final form. Now you specify the target resolution and it handles the resolution scaling internally. The dithering is now pixel perfect. It's also an uber shader for better perf.

I updated my little test to use my retro post process.and added a pixelation pass to the stack. Added the Unity demo fog too. I'll have to try on mobile later.
