This week was not a big week for progress as we begin to wind down to finish up content on Conquering Ciros. The last of the content I had to work on was finally finishing the Crystal Superchargement code. Previously, the code for Supercharging had already been written but its implement…
With our Steam page getting ready to be released this is our last week of development. This week was mostly lots of bug fixes.
The one major thing I did was create the end cinematic. Our producer wanted the player to unlock an achievement when completing all of the scenarios, and then transform into…
Hi everyone!
I've been thinking on start a project. It basically will consist of a video game with dungeon crawler genre mixed with rogue-like/rogue-lite. Why? Just because. It will be FPS and grid-based. I'm thinking on if it'll be turn-based or tick-based, I'm not sure about this yet.
I'm a few-wor…

Some game dev tips before we head into the eclipse. Enjoy!
2D Water Shader Breakdown - I wanted to try out some 2D reflections and ended up with this water shader. Sampling the noise textures with pixelated UVs really helped to make it fit wi…

The tool for comparing 2D performance with hundreds of sprites has been updated to include the preview release of SDL 3.1.1 with the Vulkan renderer.
It compares SDL 1.2, SDL 2, SDL 3, HGE and SFML renderers.
The new addition of the Vulkan renderer helps old GPUs (Ryzen 5 2400G APU) to show a ver…
In my previous blog post I described a simple approach for handling snow accumulation in an erosion simulator. In this post I will present new improved results, as well as a mechanism for reducing snow accumulation in areas with significant amounts of fluid. Now it looks like this:
The most obvious …
Quite a change since the last time! Added refraction material and efficient ray-traced reflection.
The RT reflection itself costs around 1.0ms @1440p with 4070Ti. Total rendering time is around 2.0ms now. Without a use of modern upscalers.
Both rendering take care of the blurry with low smoothne…
I started using state machines. You can see the result below

I created a procedurally generated dungeon map.
Some settings merging, letting the rooms generate to close to each other just making a bigger room
A setting to change the size or rooms.

Welcome back. In last weeks entry, we looked at the base-layout of the Acclimate Engine's resource-system. This week, I'll be highlighting the runtime-part of the system - the diagram from last week still applys, so I won't be posting it again.
RuntimeNow to recap, the games resources are handled vi…
The latest batch of tech improvements was delivered by our developer last week. The gameplay and UI have been improved immeasurably and the weapons are now fully functional in the quiz rounds. Quiz Quest is really beginning to look and feel like the game I envisioned way back in 2020. Watch this sp…
The last few days I added a simple approximation of snow accumulation to my full-scale planetary erosion simulator. It looks like this up close:
And far away:
The basic algorithm is similar to the “talus” or thermal weathering approach which I already use for ensuring that sediment does not exceed it…
Role Analysis Project 2 (New Engine Experimentation): Unreal Engine Inventory System with Blueprints
This was something I already implemented during the halfway check-in, although I needed to rework things a bit because I wanted to have the ability for a single pickup to grant multiple of an item. Each item pickup now has an Amount variable that is used to add the correc…
This week I dedicated most of my time to working on an Unreal Engine 5 project to start learning blueprints. The goal was to create a somewhat viable swinging system similar to Spider-Man.
My first attempt I was trying to figure out how to work this out mostly alone by using a Physics Constrai…
Hello everyone,
I'm excited to share an update on our latest project, Cyberscape, straight from Poupikhan Studios. Right now, we're at the concept stage, which is super important when it comes to making a video game. We're focused on creating gameplay that's not only fun but also tells a great story…
My goal for my last sprint of Ciros work was to implement two more enemy types, with placeholder sprites that will be added and animated by another team member.
Both enemy types are stationary, but they both have some form of projectile, which doesn't really exist for any other enem…
Hi guys!!!
Sorry for not posting for the last 2 whole months… I guess I could never keep up my promises huh. So I'm not going to make any more promises and I'll just post whenever I want within a month lol.

I spent the week implementing a quest system. I use it to introduce the players into the game.
At first, you have to farm materials.The player has to enter Academy Halls and farm 10 of each material. That takes approximately 15 minutes. You can see your active quests above the chat window on the lef…
It has been 30 years and there are still no game that has managed to surpass NetHack.
I first played NetHack on my Amiga 500 around year 1992. It was the tiled "graphical" version. It's now the year 2020. It has been 30 years and there are still no game that has managed to surpass NetHack.
NetHack le…
I just submitted my entry in this year’s dungeon crawler jam: Uliel’s Quest. And you may notice that it’s not on my main account, but rather a new account I started for my new brand:
Basically, earlier this year I noticed DCJam that runs in late March. Well I’ve t…
The Krilling team is back at work from a short break. I didn’t have a lot of things to do this week, my portion of things is complete, so I ended up taking various miscellaneous tasks from our other team members. These were mostly simple and short changes. The first thing I did was just move a coup…

For 1st demo, the basic environment of the game, movement, dialogue, and basic interaction.
Work through git, using Godot.

So this time, I've decided to talk about something a bit different. The disassembler-part is really technical and abstract, and probably a lot of people, who don't want to develop their own programming language, will not really have that much insight from it. So today, we are instead looking at the…
As a new studio with no backing from a publisher or investors (yet!) we are having to self-fund our game. As such, we are trying to save money by doing everything ourselves where possible. One thing that I was not expecting to have to do was write two thousand quiz questions!
The questions for Quiz …
Talked about the details of the type of the game.
Roughly decided to make a Metroidvania/Dungeon Crawler game.
We are still considering the version(2D/3D) and the art style.
The game will probably start in a hotel or museum.
Next meeting, need to decide the details of the game.
Art(environment, st…
After a short break and attending GDC I am back to making a post. Work on The Krilling has been minimal, so instead today I am going to talk about a side project of mine in the works. This past month and a half I have been working on learning Godot. Today I am going to talk about the beginning of t…
