@yuronkdev @Phantasmerie +1 to painting vertex colors for the environment (no lightmap hassle, allows hand painting, is very retro, pretty fast) and painted textures for characters / props :)

@AntennaGames Reminds me the good old Nitrome flash games: super crunchy pixel art, and a lot of juice. I love it! (Absolutely wishlisted :D)

@FTZombie @WillsSpangler Thank you!! :)

@baguetteart I'm still here! Don't let the algo fog cover me, I won't go away I-

@orgunbertan While I used Unity for a long time (my previous game was made with it), this is a completely new engine I'm building on top of raylib using plain old C. The materials are custom (mini PBR); the workflow is actually single pass forward renderer, static lights baked to vertices :)

@orgunbertan Thank you! :)

@3bombDev Thanks! :)

For the flashlight, I wanted the ultra-crisp shadows of Doom 3, built with modern tech but without its drawbacks: no multiple render passes, no temporal blurring, no smeared edges - and more importantly: optimized to run on a potato. Took me a couple days, but I think I got it!

@tinotendawrites Thank you! :)
I'm a programmer at heart so I always joke that my games are an advanced form of programmer art 😄

Follow me for more obscure rendering tricks as I build a custom engine with Raylib and check the game on Steam!

The trick? Standard Screen-Space Shadows reconstruct the 3D space to trace rays; I apply this as a pure 2D post processing effect: I only take 4 samples (super cheap!), don't need blurring and always stays sharp. More importantly: it grounds objects and looks cool :D

@Nikolay_Tsys Your work is an inspiration, so good!

[Almar | MAKING DEAD RIG @repunkgame]

@ArtofAdval Another reason to replay the demo once more! :D

@HeavyShieldGame P.s: looks awesome, wishlisted!

[Almar | MAKING DEAD RIG @repunkgame]

@HeavyShieldGame Prototype cubes are the best :D
