I’m now monetized on YouTube, thanks to my big "How I make PS1 games" video. (The approval took less than a day. 😳) Go (re)watch my videos now, please. youtube.com/@eliasdaler

Woooow. Thank you so much. It’s incredible, I’m extremely happy. 😊

It took me 1 month to make this video. It's 43 minutes and it's jam packed with cool information about how I make PS1 games and how I made Yume Nikki PS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsA2... #gamedev #indiedev #psx #ps1 #yumenikki

You can now play the demo of Yume Nikki PS in your browser. The future is here. eliasdaler.itch.io/yume-nikki-p... #gamedev #ps1 #psx #indiedev #yumenikki

The port of Yume Nikki PS to PC is going pretty well! It runs at 60 FPS and recently I: - Implemented Silent Hill fog on PC - Implemented 100% accurate PS1 dithering - Implemented a CRT shader (you'll be able to turn it on/off). #gamedev #indiedev #yumenikki #psx #ps1

New Yume Nikki PS update looking 🔥 💯 (was inspired by @monoko1011.bsky.social art) #gamedev #ps1 #psx #yumenikki

Now both Vinny and Joel have streamed my Yume Nikki PS1 reimagining. And they both liked it. I think I made it... 🥹 #yumenikki #psx #ps1 #gamedev

Yume Nikki PS1. Demo out NOW! It contains two dream worlds to explore. You can run it on a real PlayStation 1. This is a fan game. I put a lot of love and care into it. I hope you enjoy it. #yumenikki #ps1 #psx #gamedev #homebrew

The demo for Yume Nikki PS1 will be released in about 24 hours! I'll see you there. ;) #yumenikki #ps1 #psx #gamedev

I'm working on the Itch page for this, btw. ;) It'll be out soon!

Yume Nikki PS1 work. I did so much recently... #yumenikki #psx #gamedev #ps1

Hello. Yume Nikki PS1 updates! Today I remembered how to animate... 😳 The Madotsuki is now fully rigged and has a cool walk animation. I'm also extremely proud of the "refuse to leave" animation. Animating braids is fun. Also, you can sit. And pinch your cheek. #yumenikki #ps1 #psx #gamedev

Yume Nikki PS1 update. The first (and the best) effect is now implemented. You have no idea how long this took... 🥲 #yumenikki #psx #ps1

Important Yume Nikki PS1 update: you can now enter the igloos. #yumenikki #ps1 #gamedev

Some progress on Yume Nikki PS1. Sorry, no Madotsuki walk animation yet, but it's starting to look pretty neat. :) #yumenikki #ps1 #gamedev

I keep having strange dreams. They're really disturbing. So I'll write them in you... My dream diary... My Yume Nikki... #ps1 #psx #gamedev #yumenikki

I finally fixed Silent Hill's fog and will now use it in some scenes. It makes everything pretty atmospheric. :) I want to make skyboxes work later too, they're pretty important for the balcony, I think. #yumenikki #ps1 #psx

Yume Nikki PSX looking better and better every day. I'm incredibly excited about it myself and it's a very good sign. #ゆめにっき #yumenikki #ps1 #psx

My Yume Nikki reimagination running on a real PS1. #yumenikki #ps1 #psx #gamedev

About to boggle the minds of the entire Yume Nikki fandom. Give me 1.5-2 weeks more. ゆめにっき PS1. #yumenikki #gamedev #ps1

I'm making "what if [GAME], but on PS1" and it'll be an actually playable small demo (just a couple of areas, but polished). A lot of fans of a certain unique indie game will go crazy for this... 😑 I won't elaborate further. 😈

What happened.

That feel when you find a "PSX style CC0 asset pack" and it actually works (with minimal changes) and looks great on PS1. 😊 #psx #ps1 #gamedev

ENA? On my PS1??? (Now that I can change PS1 boot models, I have become too powerful) Wonderful ENA model by @denpakei.bsky.social #ENA #psx #ps1 #gamedev

I have now managed to put my models from Blender into a PS1 boot screen. #psx #ps1 #gamedev

No way… (I reverse engineered PS1 boot process)

The cat now looks at the objects you can interact with. 🐱👍

Time of day system? In a PS1 game?! Yes. #psx #gamedev #ps1

Some PVM shots of my PS1 game. #psx #ps1 #indiedev #gamedev

The game is becoming more interesting with each day... At some points in development, I myself can't believe that this is possible on PS1... 🥹 The incredible church model by @perezangelito (on Twitter) Music: Shinsuke Honda - Puenosu Honoo. #psx #ps1 #gamedev #indiedev

PS1 can produce speen effects. I was fixing some collision bugs today and then I realized that I've implemented a thing that would allow me to properly handle collision with objects which move and rotate. I'm quite shocked that it works so well, to be honest. #ps1 #psx #psxdev #gamedev

Made the room a bit brighter so that the mirror effect is easier to see. #ps1 #psx #gamedev

The cat has ventured into Silent Hill again... 😿 (Also check out this new mind-boggling effect I implemented on PS1... mirrors!) #ps1 #psx #ps1dev #gamedev #indiedev

The PlayStation can produce bed-boggling effects #ps1dev #ps1 #psx #gamedev #indiedev

My PS1 game running on Sega Dreamcast. 🤯 This is not a port, this is a PS1 emulator for Dreamcast called "Bloom" written by Paul Cercueil. #ps1 #segadreamcast #dreamcast #gamedev #indiedev

More PS1 mind-boggling effects. - Pretty skies with stars - Simulating volumetric lighting - First person view to become even more immersed in the game's world. #gamedev #indiedev #ps1 #psx

Implemented a particle system. PS1 can handle many billboards. #ps1 #psx #gamedev

A historic moment... I bought a CD burner and now my game launches from the CD on a real PS1! I don't have a modchip, so I'm loading it using Unirom, also it takes a while for the CD drive to spin up... so skip to 00:41 if you just want to see the gameplay. #psx #ps1 #playstation #gamedev

I will never top this. This is what game dev is all about - creating cinema such as this scene... #psx #ps1 #gamedev #cinema

I feel like I achieved new levels of cinema on PS1. This is the accumulation of 100s of hours of work I did in the last few months. #ps1 #gamedev #silenthill #psx

I did the vertex painting myself (the original file used Blender's dynamic lighting). I also had to work a lot to optimize the textures and fit everything into PS1 VRAM, but I still have quite a few tpages left! (especially proud of one atlas which has like 80% of the textures)

Yes, this is still a real PlayStation 1 game. I pushed myself to the next level here and I'm pretty proud of the results. :) Level model by youtube.com/@Summmer85 #psx #ps1 #playstation1

Get your mind boggled. Extremely hacky ambient light simulation. #ps1 #playstation1 #psx #gamedev

Felt like a genius when I put some red vertex color to simulate tail light glow. 😂 #ps1 #psx #playstation1 #gamedev

Now with 10x more detail, bloom and aesthetic. #ps1 #playstation1 #gamedev

Starting to look like a real city. #ps1 #playstation1 #gamedev
