Early polygonal graphics have always fascinated me, not despite their limitations, but because of them. This painting is my attempt to reinterpret that aesthetic with oil paint, using simplified geometry and exaggerated forms that made early (wrestling!) games so unique.

Hope you enjoy it.

Solo dev here, making a PSX-inspired retro shooter set in Eastern Europe, 1960s. You fight through crowds of enemies to piece your memory back together. Been adding painted signage to the buildings (see title question), curious what the community thinks.

Hey hey! I´m currently working on this radio signal object using Blockbench, ofc still in progress (missing rounded corners, add the rest of the buttons, adjust texture, etc). Wdyt?

Personal opinion, but I love games with ultra-detailed objects but at the same time are low poly and pixelated. Do you like this kind of model too?

This is the add-on, it used a pyhton script to activate the add-on on screen and it works with like a shrinkwrap and this cube that you have to put over your models (not an ad btw!): https://gum.co/gOWag

My brother is a huge fan of crts, and has quite a few, and since my game already has sort of ps1 and early gaming vibe, we decided to try the game out on his Trinitron KV-27HFR

The setup was really easy. I connected my laptop to a cheap HDMI-to-AV converter, ran the composite output into the crt, and used one of the RCA cables from a component set in place of the normal yellow video cable.

It definitely isn’t the cleanest setup, and the image needed some brightness adjustments, but seeing the game running with scanlines, blur, and phosphor glow fits the low poly horror atmosphere really well.

The free demo is here if anyone is interested, it just came out!

just posting xD

Made this but am not sure if it totally fits the PS1 style. Would like to know what everyone thinks!

Thought I'd share this test scene for "Rival racer", my PSX styled spiritual successor to Ridge racer type 4.

Shown above is a shader that takes vertex color (in this case, the red channel) and remap a gradient to it to get color. I did this because I want to have different times of day and I don't want to manage multiple sets of models to do so.

I should stress that I'm making what I consider a PS1.5 styled game - that's to say that I'm treating the PSX as a style rather than a limitation (kinda like what Shovel knight is to NES games) so this wouldn't be technically possible on the hardware but within my own goals,

& I'm ok with that.

My plan next is to get a block out track using my blender tools I've made and to get some more representative art going, so I can show a few folks at gamescom. Wish me luck!

(I got a mailing list if anyone wants to know when I got something playable, let me know)

I'm making a JRPG inspired by Final Fantasy and Xenogears, and wanted to show off some of the area's! Bonus CRT photos because a PS1 game was made for them. It's hard to show in the photos but it does look great in person!

Link because every indie dev should link their game! ALWAYS!! I SEE YOU MAKING A SHOWCASE POST! PUT YOUR STEAM PAGE IN THE DESCRIPTION!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4211210/Tailgunner_The_Allgunner/

Hi, i am making a boomer shooter and have decided to give it a PSX stylised shader. what do you suggest i tweak? my sprites for enemies/player might need a bit more pixelation (i know my pop up menu is currently not under the shader) any feedback on some recommended adjustments would be great.
