It is still low fidelity though

just the lighting is expensive and it has all the UE5 issues

Development screenshot from my game, Nightshift Galaxy. 

Right: a "stamp" I authored in blender that's like a cross-section of a tunnel.

Left: the stamp repeated and distorted to follow a tunnel-spline.

Back in the saddle working on my "scaffold" level-editting system for Nightshift. I got a bit exhausted having to procedurally topologize everything (esp texture UVs, ugh), so I'm experimenting with making mesh "stamps" in blender that are distorted & combined in the game editor.

Ngl it is horrible rn. Whole city is completely silent. Worse than during the pandemic.

No buses, no ride apps. Every business is closed. Cant buy food or water.

rn taking the dogs to pee outside for 1 min then running back inside.

My friend @jameswgrayiii.bsky.social has started a Devlog series as he builds his new game

He is a legend with decades of experience including ILM, Lucasarts, THQ, etc!

Lots to learn from him
