I am making a Procedural Synthwave Racing game in UE5.. Not much more to say about that🙂
#Synthwave #Outrun #Retrowave #vaporwave #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 @madewithUnreal @80Level
Today’s #Unreal session: making a door out of 4 boxes, 1 cylinder and a timeline (and an input action, action mapping, boolean, …)
The music of Beep’s Escape (@MartiansGame ) is running in loop while we practice 🔥🤖👍🏻

Today's #UnrealEngine session was about #PoppyPlaytime!
With the player possessing Huggy Wuggy, it's time to hunt the employees!
Disclaimer: no grabpacks were broken during the session!
Learning @UnrealEngine at 6… Level design is his favorite part so far… happy new year @TimSweeneyEpic & his team 🫶🏻🥳
Been fan of Unreal tech since the early days of Unreal and making levels ad a teen in 1999… jeez I’m geforce 256 old.
Shoutout to @GameDevMicah for the tuts!
And now, drawing @TwoStarGames fan art at age 6.
Choo Choo Charles is becoming a 1st grader’s new topic 😅

Dadda, can we add a Vegetablia bonus before my shower?
- yes, only if I take an ugly shortcut in the code
- why do you say that?
- because ECS. Because bitwise collision mask.
- errr?
- ok, there you go.
Next step: state machine & character animations.

Well, what a time to be alive indeed @kometbomb @STuFFk 🕹️
This side project has been restarted. From scratch, only issue now is the IP 😇
What about a 4 player rick?
Wife & kid are testing the first steps towards a Rick Arena…

As requested, a "tech preview" of the "#Rick skinning" of my @photonstorm based platformer engine. Man, those 1990 guys at @CoreDesign_com were #godlike #programmers. Such sense of details & fine grained nuancing every possible behavior. #IndieGameDev #pixelart

Hi @simorph, are you that Godlike Programmer I mentionned last year? I used Rick2 sprites to develop my engine and based my specs on the original Atari St version you made. Just found you on twitter and thought I’d send my respects! That title gave rise to my gamedev passion!

#retrogaming & #pixelart as a great way to keep a 3 yo #kid happy during the #COVID19 #confinement. Today is a #diorama made of cardboard after showing him #RickDangerous2 on a real #Atari ST 1040 🥰 Born after the #Millennials, this one will know what a #floppy is...

Finalising the demo of #BlockysQuest this week! @capacitor makes ios/android build pipeline so easy. @ionic appflow live updates rock. @phaser_ runs literally everywhere - now even on 256MB @KaiOStech feature phones. @maxlynch how about adding KaiOs to npx cap targets?

Who is Thotep: Seth or Osiris?
Unravel the mystery as the ancient Egyptian myth unfolds🦁 As the realm's protector, tackle puzzles & challenges worthy of #retrogaming classics like Dizzy & Terramex to restore balance!

"Back in a Flash", this time... Rick Dangerous 2 with 4 player coop, and all Rick 1 content too?
A first build of our first prototype, with dynamic player assignment. Uses a keyboard and up to 5 gamepads.

Ah, good. I know what I'm testing tonight!
@belgian_games @WALGAbe look, that's less than 8h of work to re-skin #BlockyLion, import shelved #AlphaBoreal assets from last year, fix a few bugs (trigger got stuck + fell from the ladder) and give it a different pace :-)
Introducing #AlphaBoreal ennemies!
Right to left:
- Schizo (chainsaw)
- Stalker (bfg)
- Enforcer (gattling)
- Surgeon (shotgun)
- Drudge (pusle rifle)
- Silencer (plasma)
+ a BFG shot to keep them happy!

My beloved Mr. Lion was turned into a video game hero! Share the love of a free retro game that means to truly bring back the feel of the late eighties and the joy it brought to kids around the world! #indiegamedeveloper
Happy to share a demo of the upcoming « Blocky’s Quest 1 : the Curse of Blocky Thotep » !
