made a ravine kind of scene in blender and ran it through my 160x100 8bpp qbasic engine. i kinda like it :3

and here's the full res uncropped render

[lykrast@eldritch.cafe]

@eniko it looks like ps1 backgrounds! nice

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lykrast that's what i was going for :D so that makes me very happy to hear

[rlabrecque@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko I thought for sure this was from Donkey Kong country 3

[pence@scholar.social]

@eniko I'm getting "FF7 rendered background" vibes in a huge way

...from qbasic.

That's incredible

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pence that's exactly what i was shooting for :D

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

i cheated my ass off tbh. the only actual geometry is the stuff in the foreground. all the rocks in the background as well as the mist is just image planes >_>

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@eniko good

[khalidabuhakmeh@mastodon.social]

@eniko feels like an old JRPG prerender level. Now where's that hidden chest 🧰😅

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

just look at this absolute nonsense

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@khalidabuhakmeh that's what i was aiming for!! :D

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

anyway i'm a professional game developer lmao

[ronflaix@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko if it's dumb and it works then it's not dumb

[nine@chitter.xyz]

@eniko Well I mean obviously. How else would you have known to use those weird tricks so efficiently and successfully that we'd have never known unless you told us? That's prime pro gamedev shit right there!

[goodnewsgreyshoes@mastodon.art]

@eniko That looks flippin' excellent! 👀💯✨

[ari@fedi.arimelody.space]

@eniko don't worry this kind of jank that falls apart with a boundary break is half of what game dev is about- it adds character :3

[snowfox@tech.lgbt]

@eniko "You're telling me there's a prerendered background inside the prerendered background?"

"Not exactly... I'm telling you it's prerendered backgrounds all the way down."

[nini@oldbytes.space]

@eniko Work smarter not harder.

[clarusplusplus@gamedev.lgbt]

@eniko This looks dope! Literally first thought when I saw it was, "Is this a scene from FF7 I somehow missed?"
