The Ink Remains

Here's a short article about the current state of the game.

If you want to avoid spoilers, don't look at the one marked as such!


So, the game project has been an inconvenient mess for quite a while, courtesy of past me who didn't know any better. I'm done polishing a turd, so to speak, it's time to fix it all with a full remaster! Once finished, performance, visual quality and usability will all have improved. (It's a win-win for both players and I)

Here's the map layout remade in a much more efficient way:

  • There's way less geometry for the floors, ceilings and walls by instead using stretched quads with tiled textures.

  • I fixed the models using Blender because since they were ripped from a game the geometry got skewed.

  • Doing large scale changes is now really easy as I made sure every object in the scene is linked to a prefab.

There you go, that's what I got done for now. Stay tuned to learn about the future progress of this remaster!

Next up

I present to you, my main #Unity project! It's going to be a procedural generation based humorous game with some horror. Its placeholder name is "Spoopy Halls of Nightmares", you can suggest a better name in the comments! Teaser made in #Blender

Unity's next Long Term Support version introduces a lot of tools that makes a game developer's life less hard. I've experimented with it for a day and managed to do a damn good screen-space outline shader! #Unity #Shader #Outline #GameDev

Gotta love when this happens

I've done a fair bit more work, mostly on the player scripts, environment, some fixes, etc. But I also have implemented the foundation of object interactions and brought graphics parity (images are remake vs old version). Looks are subject to change. Cya!

New thumbnail! This one is more detailed than the previous :)

I'm remastering the code of the game and it doesn't come without stuff breaking lol... It can be funny sometimes

I dual wielded sandwiches for the first time! I even got a visitor :)

Damn, another #spawnday already! Time flies, it really does...

Trying to figure out a consistent artstyle that I'd like. So I've been drawing away on various shapes. Here's my first completed attempt! I'm keeping it simple so it's all done in #Blender, hand-drawn + procedural noises. What do you think about it?

Remember me saying that? Sadly, I most likely won't be able to do it. Half-2022 is only days away and the game is not close to be ready. I can promise one thing tho: The Ink Remains, Chapter 1 “Still not free” will be released this year, finished or not.
