For weapon VFX, everything has to work in multiplayer as well! All weapon VFX are simulated locally on each client - the shot and hit result are synchronized, and each client renders the muzzle flash, tracer, impact VFX, and decals independently. #gamedev #indiedev

Spent the past week or so rewriting and iterating on the weapon vfx / audio / surface / footstep handling. It's finally all coming together, and wanted to share a quick video in the VFX Gym that I use to test this all out. it's not 100% but much better #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

So much work getting all of these systems integrated and unified, the enemies and player weapons all use the same surface / vfx and footstep system now, so much better and future proofed

It's not the sexiest feature, but being able to programmatically create these is very satisfying #indiedev #gamedev

Hard at work on the demo for Steam's upcoming Cyberpunk Fest and our upcoming playtests! Here's a sneak peak at the location your crew will be operating in! Make sure to sign up for the playtest! player.gg/explore/game... #cyberpunk #indiedev

Just did some testing of the demo build on my higher end PC and am psyched I was getting 140-150 fps solid around the gameplay map. Doesn't have 100% full chaos mode active yet but I was scared it was going to be much much worse

I will update the dev blog more...I will update the dev blog more...I will update the dev blog more...I will update the dev blog more...I will update the dev blog more...

Spent the day doing a bunch of work on the website, added a couple of historical blog posts, improved the overall appearance and behaviour (particularly on mobile) etc. Going to try and do some more regular dev blogs, will see how that goes... www.dystopiapunk.com

Render finished overnight! With a touch of color correction, here we go! Rendered in Unity with Deckard, pretty happy with how it turned out...

Full Render is complete! This was created for the 2026 Reallusion 3d Character Contest! #cyberpunk #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Completely unrelated: wouldn't mind if someone gave me a bunch of money in trade for a kick ass episodic series...

Some early shots of the second mission - what's cyberpunk without a cool nightclub to explore! - social stealth (hide in the crowd) - overhear conversations - hack security doors & cameras Intercept the handoff, find the package, get out alive! What do you think makes a good nightclub level?

Working on a more detailed interaction system for @dystopiapunk.bsky.social The world has a wide range of items / places that the player can interact with - sit on chairs, use a vending machine, open doors etc Building out a scaleable system with a ton of variation is... interesting #indiedev

Almost done with the @dystopiapunk.bsky.social mission flow system. It's a very configurable tool that lets me map out the flow for a mission based on a set of steps, for example "travel" or "objective" etc. #indiedev #gamedev

might look like chaos but this is the result of weeks of work getting the Ambient AI crowd system to handle almost all of the use cases that I need for the @dystopiapunk.bsky.social demo - super psyched at the progress! #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

Should have done this months ago, has already paid itself off for the effort it took!

This evenings task: adding a gameplay bootstrapper so I can boot into any scene (with full multiplayer connection etc). Previously the game booted up quick enough it wasn't that much of a pain, but now that I'm starting to art up scenes, this is now critical to iteration times #gamedev #indiedev

Check out how we've built out our character / animation pipeline for the game!
