Replay Together Games

Oops. That's a lot of cacti.

Low quality/high quality map filtering. This message is also a test if I can upload multiple images in one message here...

25fps and getting there. My goal is a solid 30hz on the Durango, and 60hz on One S, and 60hz 4k on Series X|S. This work also means it runs on lower spec PCs - it's already a solid 60hz on the Steamdeck!

After some extremely low-level faffing, Terminal Burn is working on the Xbox. It's about... 4... frames per second on the 2013 Xbox One, so I have quite some optimisation to achieve still!

Picked up a second hand standalone AverMedia capture box. Quality is fine, if not outstanding - should help with capturing the trailer without bogging down the capture rig!

I should build in stat-tracking into my games much earlier!

The new engine thrust is in. Cyan and magenta exhaust plumes, distance-based emission, attached to the interpolated renderer — messy to get right, but it looks like this now. #TerminalBurn #indiegames #gamedev

can't park there mate

I remember when a heatshimmer pass was high-tech enough to warrant being on the box. I'm also old enough to remember when games came in boxes.

Glancing blows can now disable the assists, meaning crashes can be quite a bit more erratic. You can see the assists come back online just as the ship gets upside-down, and aren't quite sure what to do!

The clouds in Terminal Burn are now tied to both rain and wind states. You can see what that looks like in the video — four distinct weather conditions, all driven by the same system. No, you cannot fly up to them. #TerminalBurn #indiegames #gamedev

It's the little things.

I'm sure no-one will notice, but the cloud velocity's now hooked up to the gusty wind difficulty mutator.

There's a cheap-as-chips 2d solution cloud for low detail. This is the fallback for lower-spec computers, as well as older generation Xboxes.
