Indie Game Studio developing Refactor.

Finally got better GIF recording for Refactor! Now you can see what a Tetroidvania *actually* looks like. #madewithunity #metroidvania

Refactor used to have physics based animations for cutscenes. We had controllers that move and jump the characters when and where we needed (all physics sim). It worked *most* of the time, and that was the problem. It didn't work *all* of the time. It would break unpredictably.

So, I have a story about the Skyrim Intro and how hard game development is. That intro is famous now, but back then, it was just that one thing that we had to keep working and working on forever. I lost track of how many times I've seen that cart ride. Easily hundreds. (thread)

Been working on finalizing the UI in Refactor this past week and it's coming along nicely! The problem with a project that's been in development for 7 years is we've got like 2-3 different "styles" of UI in the current build. Gonna be nice to unify the entire interface!


Bob is live on Steam! Come chat about Refactor and get a gander at some of the later game mechanics! #metroidvania #indiedev #tetroidvania store.steampowered.com/app/342730/Ref…

Fun insight to how Refactor is set up: all of our tetromino rooms are their own scenes. We use map data to dynamically load/unload connected rooms, so we only really have around 5-6 rooms/scenes in memory at any given time. Also let's us lightmap individual rooms.

So, I have a story about the Skyrim Intro and how hard game development is. That intro is famous now, but back then, it was just that one thing that we had to keep working and working on forever. I lost track of how many times I've seen that cart ride. Easily hundreds. (thread)

Looks like Refactor got included among some other awesome indies coming out this year! Check out the whole list and a big thank you to @LaurakBuzz for including our weird little title.

In case you missed it, earlier today I put live a video of my top 25 most anticipated indie games this year. There’s some really cool small projects here I hope people check out.
