Solastalgia, a game where you play as a fledgling woodland spirit that seeks to protect and grow fellow life in the face of industrialisation 🌱 ❤️ While growing up my dream job was a video game designer, and while reality and my own skills had other plans, its still something I think about ❤️

I have been thinking a lot about this lately, too as AAA begins to falter and hardware prices soar, we need to look back at older game design it's not just nostalgia; games that encourage your own imagination build engagement in a way that chasing realistic graphics and complex systems never could

I think a lot about this bit by Kazuya Niinou about how an RPG can be one thing on your screen and another thing in your brain

How to use your imagination

When your party stays at the Inn overnight, what do they eat?

If you ever catch yourself wondering that, then you know you've formed an attachment to your characters.

With Etrian Odyssey's characters, you only give them a name and a portrait, so no matter how you think of the character, it's technically just your imagination. But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing.

For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... If you can imagine small details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more.

The essence is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if you invest those "numbers" with your own feelings, you can spice up the game a little. Think about this:

In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they only have a couple of HP left, and no TP. They're certain to die in their next turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2 characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief time before your game ends.

Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who'll die facing the enemy and laughing? Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath?

The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it could play out very differently.

The game itself isn't that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic and fun situations in your own minds.

Improved item pick up code to use the item's actual collision mesh, so it's now pixel perfect, not just a vaque box volume. Also added new pick up icon. #gamedev #indiedev

I've been fine-tuning collisions recently. The corner walls were blocking gunshots due to the shape of their colliders not being precise. A small fix but still important! #gamedev #indiedev
The "lasers" being blocked by an invisible corner. They don't stretch to hit the far left wall.
The laser passing the corner wall and hitting the far left wall, as intended.
The original collision model for the corner wall, showing no indentation of where the wall doesn't jut out as much.
How the collision model should look. With a wider base and top.

In August 2024, to work comfortably with Unreal Engine I upgraded my PC to 128GB of RAM for 4260 NOK ($420), a similar kit of memory (slightly slower) in the same show is now at 14969 NOK ($1487). 🥹 I sure hope I don't get a computer failure or need to upgrade...

The Indie Game Awards revoked the GOTY award after learning some genAI assets were used by the winner. Meanwhile, the Nobel Peace Prize winner supports the bombings that just occurred. The Indie Game Awards have higher standards of integrity than the Nobel Prize.

2025's "Biggest unwarranted moral panic" game award (I just came up with it) goes to: HORSES An art game that tickled moral reactions because of the narrative surrounding it. The discourse made me feel like a young teen in the 2000s with rumors of morally corrupt games such as "Thrill Kill" on psx

www.horses.wtf

HORSES The Horror Game

HORSES is an enigmatic first person horror game that blurs the line between reality and the darkest corners of your imagination. Fourteen days, a horse farm, and a few rules to follow.
