My retro horror game with turn-based mechanics is now out: instead of playing helpless survivors, you play as trained agents, but that does not mean it will be a walk in the park!

Fog'n'Silence is inspired by Kenshi, Death Stranding, Outer Wilds, and a bit of Project Zomboid.

Fixed comment toggling in 3.x.
Now comments are actually toggled, meaning: any uncommented lines become commented, any commented lines become uncommented.
Empty lines are completely ignored.
The comment symbol is added after any white-space instead of the start of the line.
Comments retain their line-folding capacities.

My PS1-style scene in Unreal Engine 5
u/Additional_Ground763 — 14 hours ago
Painting the visual language of early 3D games in oils.
Early polygonal graphics have always fascinated me, not despite their limitations, but because of them. This painting is my attempt to reinterpret that aesthetic with oil paint, using simplified geometry and exaggerated forms that made early 3D games so unique.
Originally I was inspired by the Ridge Racer grid girl but then over time changed it completely. I’m not trying to copy the style or a screenshot but rather to incorporate the essence of the low-poly graphics into my own visual language. The format is 70x50cm, oils on wood.
Hope you enjoy it.

A PS1 horror "game" built from photogrammetry scans
Hi everyone,
I have been experimenting with using photogrammetry as the starting point for PS1 styled animation.
Everything in this piece began as scans of my friends, myself and real-world locations/objects. I captured the source material using Polycam on my iPhone, then imported the scans into Blender.
I was not trying to reproduce every PS1 hardware limitation exactly. For one, I opted for a higher res look, similar to what you find in DuckStation by default. The goal was to make something that feels like a mysterious PS1 horror game that was never released. Maybe a burned CD or a dev kit someone stumbled upon during a garage sale.
No AI was used.
If you want to have a glimpse at my Blender scenes, see:

EDIT:
I uploaded a looping version on YT in 4K so people can view it in all it's ditherted glory:

One creator is recreating GTA V, Skyrim, Elden Ring, God of War and Final Fantasy X on PS1
I've recently come across a creator called 2009aero, who has been making experimental recreations of modern games on retro hardware.
In just a few months, he's shown PS1 projects based on:
- Minecraft
- GTA V
- Skyrim
- Elden Ring
- Final Fantasy X
- God of War
- Oblivion
He's also experimented with N64 projects such as GTA San Andreas and Dark Souls, and previously attempted to bring Pokémon Red to TempleOS using HolyC.
Here's the interesting part: none of these PS1 projects appear to be publicly playable or open source. They're essentially demonstrations showing what these games could look like running on hardware that was never designed for them.
And this seems to have created a bit of a divide.
For regular gamers, these projects are pretty amazing (see YT comments). Seeing something like GTA V or Elden Ring recreated on a PS1 is obviously impressive and makes for a great video.
But some people in the PS1 homebrew community (psxdev discord) have a very different view. I've seen the argument that these are essentially showcase projects: they're designed to demonstrate an impressive result and attract attention, but there's no released game, source code or technology for other developers to actually experiment with.
The sheer speed is also interesting. Seven different PS1 projects in around three months is a lot, especially considering the technical limitations involved in developing for the original hardware. Although 2009aero hasn't publicly explained how much AI is involved in the development process, so it's impossible to know how much AI, if any, was used.
Sapika_08 wrote our first feature for PSX Homebrew Games looking into 2009aero, his projects and this divide between the general gaming audience and the homebrew community:
GTA V, Skyrim and Final Fantasy X on PS1?
So I'm curious what do you think:
Are these projects valuable technical experiments even if they never become playable games?
Or is a PS1 homebrew project only really interesting to the scene if people can download it, study it and build upon it?

Пачинко + Дарк фэнтези + PSX лоуполи. Не слишком ли безумный микс?
Делаю игру со, скорее всего, безумным миксом - Пачинко/Плинко (метается шарик, отбивается от колышков, ломает колышки (а-ля пеглин)) + Дарк фентези сеттинг (главный герой рыцарь, который сражается с жуткими, не дженерик монстрами (правда в видос попал очень даже дженеричный черепок, но в скриншотах страницы можете увидеть более абстрактных и необычных)) + PSX лоу-поли (мне самому это нравится).
Если коротко то PS1 Dark Peglin
Что думаете про нишевость? Захотелось ли бы вам поиграть в такой микс?
Ну и хотелось бы фидбека на страницу в стиме: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4992150/Plink_Void
(хотелось бы еще добавить тег "моя игра", но по итогу выбрал "фидбека бы")
