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

You can now go into the store (SHOPKEEPER MODEL/SPRITE TEMPORARY) #psx #ps1 #gamedev

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

Worked on an intro cutscene today. Starting to look really good! (but obviously needs more polish) #psx #ps1 #playstation1 #gamedev #indiedev

Before I return to making my game, I want to tell you how much effort it took to make this video. 🧵 Authenticity is very important to me and I went an extra mile to make the video as good (and cool) as possible.

10K and 1K. Let's gooo. 😱

Hit 1000 subscribers on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwpF... The video about fog on PS1 is doing great. I didn't expect so much positive feedback. 🥲 Thank you so much.

"Implementing Silent Hill's Fog in My (Real) PS1 Game" Out on YouTube now. 🙀 It took me 100+ hours to make it. I hope you enjoy it. ↓ ↓ ↓🔗 #ps1 #psx #playstation1 #silenthill

I made a Ko-fi page! ko-fi.com/eliasdaler You can support my brand new PS1 game, as well as future educational videos about the PS1 HW and its graphics. :) 1 coffee = 1 additional mind-boggling effect added to the game. 🙀 (P.S. Dropping "How Silent Hill Fog Works" video in a couple of hours!)

Five thousands lines of code (slides on PS1 + three fog implementations)... And tens of hours of work.... But they're finally finished. Now I need to put together a video... see you in a couple of days. 🥲

Making some slides for my "How Silent Hill fog works on PS1" YT video. They all run on PS1 themselves. 😂 #psx #playstation1

I’m making some slides for my “how fog works in Silent Hill on PS1” video. And the best way to show how PS1 works is on PS1 itself, right? So I just made the best slide ever… 😂 #psx #playstation1

Was working on expressions/hands system and made a Pog button. Then NPC's animation broke and I realized that it's perfect for showing off bugs. #cat #ps1 #psx #playstation

Made a pretty inventory menu inspired by Silent Hill. Also you can give people items now and they can react to them... #psx #playstation1 #gamedev

Still can't believe it works and how good it looks. 😭 The hundreds of hours of hard work I put into it are so worth it.

Today in mind-boggling PS1 effects: (fake) lights. They don't affect the objects in any way, just draw a cool halo... But it still looks nice. I stole the trick for rendering those halos from Ridge Racer 4. 😹 #ps1 #psx #gamedev #playstation1

After many hours of grueling work and debugging, I finally made non-segmented animated meshes work on PS1. 😻 #psx #ps1 #playstation1

Holy grail = acquired #psx #playstation1

UPD: SCREAMING AND SHAKING RN Didn't know about the existence of SCCE chip (Satellite Connection Communication Engine)... Welp, gotta get a different console now...

I have a confession to make. Please don't unfollow me... My game is actually made in Unreal Engine. ... ... ... ... ... I ported Unreal Engine to PS1.

Help, I'm stuck in the year 1999... (recorded on a 1995 camcorder) #ps1 #psx #playstation1

Just got my mind boggled by this PS1 game called Bass Rise (1999). The reflection effect is so incredible. #ps1 #psx #playstation1

Bought a camera, Sony CCD-TRV70 (from 1995!). Will use it to make more aesthetic dev logs in the future. 😻 #ps1 #sony #psx #camcorder #playstation1 #gamedev

Mood. #psx #ps1 #playstation1

My PS1 game very faithfully recreates the atmosphere and gameplay of Silent Hill... (you won't believe what happens in the end) #playstation #psx #silenthill #cat #horror
