I made a little game for the #HauntedPS1 Summer Camp Jam! Can be completed in under ten minutes. STARSTORY is a short trip up to the stars above. Recall myths of ages past with a fellow hermit and etch their forms onto the sky. #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev #PSX #lowpoly

The stress of organising Madvent this year is well worth it for projects like this :)

My code is a mess and I caught a cold (my game's set in a winter forest so that checks out), but at least this stuff is working! Gotta add interaction animations or smth.

a freaky GUY i put together for a #HauntedPS1 Summer Camp Jam game #PSX #IndieGame #GameDev
A 3D model of a character rendered in the style of a PS1 game. He is covered in straw, twigs, and a bizarre mask. He wears a long banner with several glyphs upon it.
