Elias Daler

Game dev and engine dev. Doing stuff with C++ and Vulkan.

Implemented "modern" camera controls, you can freely rotate the camera now.

Now my game has better controls than 99% of PS1 games. 😹

Now I need to actually add DualShock support.

@RetroHax thanks!
It's Sony BVM-14M4DE.

"Also is the Game like a Silent Hill but Cats Game? XD"
I'm still not sure, the game is very early in development.

@atropos148 I'm not sure yet :D

@RetroHax thanks. It does run on stock PSX.

Working on a cutscene system for my PS1 game.

@whoisryosuke what would it take to convince Sony to make a new official PS1 release in 202X? 😂

(What if the game is *really* good? :D)

@cebolleta maybe... I remember it breaking all the time for some reason, that's why I turned it off... 😅

@Litda this is a real PlayStation 1 game, by the way. The engine is fully custom and written from scratch to run on PS1 :)

I implement Silent Hill fog in my (real) PS1 game.

It's exactly the same technique that Silent Hill uses (reverse engineered it). It's pretty incredible, looks great and pushes PS1 to its limits. I'll write a blog post explaining how it works later. :)

I wrote a huge article which explains how I learned Vulkan and wrote a small game engine in it in 3 months.

You can now save. The vertical slice is getting closer and closer... :)

Found this cool CC0 scene on itch. Looks quite nice in my engine :)

@kyle thanks a lot!

Dev tools are my passion. 😻

Here's what my Vulkan engine can do after 1 month of development:

* Compute skinning + skeletal animation
* Basic PBR - normal map, metallic/roughness and emissive
* MSAA
* Bindless textures
* Directional, point and spot lights
* CSM
* Text drawing with UTF-8 support
* Sprites

@badlogic this made me (ir)rationally angry. This is peak HN content.
