I rebuilt Wolfenstein 3D from scratch in C#—then added coloured lighting, god rays, fog, bloom, shadows, and water caustics. Still the original 1992 artwork. ✨ 🎥 youtu.be/sdD4hbzsEHA ⭐ github.com/deanthecoder/Wolf… #Wolfenstein3D #GameDev #CSharp #Avalonia

I used #Codex to resurrect a #Tetris game I made as a teenager in 1996. No internet, not graphics library. 320x200 pixels is enough for anyone, right? #retro #indiedev

Updated my old face tracking demo (github.com/deanthecoder/Holo…) to use #GodotEngine. Quite happy with the result! #CreativeCoding #HeadTracking #ScreenshotSaturday

So excited - My #Mechwarrior 2 port to the #MetaQuest3 ! Very first play on the real device. Lots to do... YouTube: youtube.com/shorts/rKjKblHX2… #godot #retrogaming #VR

ZXBasic is a free interpreter that recreates the look and feel of programming a #ZXSpectrum. Modern editing, a few extra commands ('RENUM'), and an option CRT effect. Fun! #indiedev #retro github.com/deanthecoder/ZXBa…

Typing in #BASIC code from old INPUT magazines, just as I did 40 years ago. Happy days.

I'm writing a Sinclair BASIC interpreter in C#. If you recognise this image, we're of the same age.

If your #mech doesn't even have a #FluxCapacitor is it even a mech, bro? 😂 #MechWarrior2 #remake #indiedev

Adding glass and scratches to my custom #Mechwarrior2 engine. I love playing with the 'effect' values until I get the result I want. Closer each time... #godot #indiedev #mech2

Some stills from my #Mechwarrior2 engine, which adds more modern textures and post-processing. #retro #mech2 #battletech

After the challenge of my #Wolfenstein3D engine remake, I've decided to try #Mechwarrior2. Based on the DOS version, but layering newer effects. Will possibly port to #VR too. #retrogaming #godot

Enemies now get illuminated when under a light, or from muzzle flash. Proper enjoying myself on this project. 😎 Full source: github.com/deanthecoder/Wolf… #wolfenstein #indiedev #retrogaming

Let there be light(s) ! The shader code updated to add muzzle flash, ceiling/lights, treasure illumination, and more. Quite happy with how this is turning out. All artwork still 100% original. #wolfenstein #shadercoding #retrogaming #sksl

Working on a #CSharp implementation of #Wolfenstein 3D. My software renderer is comparible to the original game, but I've started a shader renderer too, allowing more atmospheric lighting. Lots more to do! github.com/deanthecoder/Wolf… #AvaloniaUI #CrossPlatform #github
