Indie game developer, photographer, trying my best. Made Alliance Peacefighter; a 90's style, story-driven space sim. He/Him.

@TomF It was actually fine one I corrected the targets weirdly - I don't know enough about rigging to explain why!

Working on the left-handed cockpit. Inverse kinematics hasn't gotten the memo yet.

A view from the POV of a pilot in a sci-fi starfighter cockpit, featuring controls configured for left-handed pilots. The arms are crossed as the code that defaults which hand goes where has not yet been updated.

Right, so they changed Unity Hub so you can't make new projects without them being connected to the cloud. That sucks.

Now you need to download this other client instead, and then you can just delete Unity Hub from your system unless you need the cloud stuff:

github.com/Ravbug/UnityHubNati

The 'Unity Hub Native' app will let you make local projects and do all that local project stuff you could do before.

In the rush to finish and polish a game it's easy to forget to make it fun, so I'm trying a thing where every evening I only work on bits of Monster Bop that I'd never do during serious person work hours.

Tonight that meant adding tiny random chance that snakes have goofy little arms and legs drawn on top.

A cute videogame scene featuring a bunch of snakes with stick figure arms and legs drawn over the top.

Built me a head tracking device and it worked way too good. So much fun and the night is basically over. I’ll be so sorry later but it was totally worth it 👌

@aukondk Oof, yeah we might end up with a great moody spy thriller but it's probably going to take itself way too seriously for a Bond film... Hope he surprises us.

Today is the last day you can get Alliance Peacefighter at launch discount. The demo is live again too, so if you're on the fence you can try it out!

1.1.4 Patch live - most notable change is an increase to the player's base shield levels. If you played and felt like you were dying too often, you probably were. Things should feel a little fairer now.

@psychicparrot42 You should definitely be proud, shipping ain't easy! It looks good mate, been meaning to pick it up once I have some spare time/cash again, hopfully soon!

@psychicparrot42 That looks like a really satisfying physics model already!

For those that missed it, the latest patch for Alliance Peacefighter resolves issues with PSVR headsets (haven't had confirmation for Pico/SomniumVR headsets but this should fix those too). Notes are for 1.1.1 but game is currently at 1.1.2.

This was a labour of love that's taken over 5 years of my spare time, and a game I've wanted to make since I played Wing Commander back in the early nineties. Really hope you like it.
