Freelance game dev with an unhealthy fixation with procedural generation. It’s pronounced like it’s spelled. DM for inquiries.

I held out as long as I could not upgrading this app so I could keep the bird alive, but 5GB of cache buildup forced my hand. Not a fan. If you haven't already, come find me at the other place.

[Tzschk @tzschk]

Full disclosure, I completely forgot I had an account over at the other place, but it seems like a good time for a reminder.

[Tzschk @tzschk]

@vertinski Yep, all procedural. Distance fog is doing the heavy lifting there, but I also use vertex colors to do some “baked” lighting if I want to darken an area. Darkening corners and smaller nooks to sort of fake ambient occlusion goes a long way to making indoors feel less flat.

Return of the infinimall. While I didn't completely rewrite it this time, I did gut and rebuild the base structural generation. Can't help myself. Way more flexible and, of course, way more math headaches for me. #screenshotsaturday

Light progress for #screenshotsaturday. Got scoring and a time limit in, but mostly some backend work on the pickup/drop-off system, managing locations, messages, etc. without being able to just pull from a database. Gotten real familiar with GBVM, though.

@AnAmazingWizard Americans, amirite?

Basic gameplay loop: check.

@jaytholen As someone who prototypes a 2D fighter once or twice a year but hasn’t played one since Tekken 2, I’ve found that what I’m compelled to make only occasionally intersects with my preferences as a player.

@LazerLars1 Thanks!

- 160x144
- 8px
- 18x18ish.
- 13 metasprites reflected on the x axis for 24 angles.

Little weekend GB project. #screenshotsaturday

[Tzschk @tzschk]

@hunters_rebirth Haha, fair enough. It’s just requires some trig. Project the velocity on the normal angle (vX*cos(aN)+vY*sin(aN)), then get the reflected velocity (vX-2*p*cos(aN), vY-2*p*sin(aN)). Use a LUT for sin/cos and be careful not to overflow.

[Tzschk @tzschk]

Wanted to try my hand at GB Studio to see what I could get away with. I will never take floats and trig functions for granted again.

Psst:

[Tzschk @tzschk]

@hunters_rebirth Same way as orthogonal collisions, really, the math’s just a little different. Luckily circles make for simple math.

[Tzschk @tzschk]

@Polyducks Yep!

@Neutronized Thanks! It's surprisingly simple. I expected way more hassle.
