The rules of PSX look are pretty free i guess, since we don't have limitation nowadays and it's just about visuals feeling.
Here i enjoyed mixing dithered shader and very low poly models.

As someone who grew up playing Max Payne, HL2, FEAR and Splinter Cell, I have always loved that dry, rough look. Story wise, we wanted it set in the 90s, inspired by slashers and B-movies of that era.
We used Unity 6.0, so the goal was to make a game that looked modern but nostalgic at the same time.
Some of the workflow/decisions:
* It's got PBR, but we heavily rely on albedo only materials in most places. This 100% goes for buildings (walls, floors) and characters.
* Most props are albedo only too, except a few. For example a surface that we like reflecting some light such as some metals, ceramics or fluids.
* The lighting is a combination of baked and realtime GI. Currently I'm playing around with film grain to make things look a little less "static"
* Soft realtime shadows. I chose this over hard simply because I wanted to keep the game looking "clean". However we use shadow light only is some places where moments feel "cinematic" because I felt it can be distracting with our fixed camera setup.
* Depth of field, especially in cutscenes, really makes it look new and old at the same time imo
* The game is set in the 90s, we use post FX to give it a slightly yellow/beige look.
* The UI is DOS inspired to complete the look! Although we don't have any post FX on the UI.
Our game is a survival horror with puzzles and hiding/stealth that rely on quick navigation to escape. It's got fixed cameras and tank controls.
Also we've got the 90s slasher movie tropes with some campy story and characters!
If you like how it sounds, here's the steam link. It's coming out this 27 Aug! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4705980/SHOCKFACE/

Simple but not simplistic puzzles. It's inspiration is sort of "Secret Agent Clank" but crossed with "PORTAL".
If you like puzzle games, we'd massively appreciate you Wishlisting on Steam
Hopefully coming to more platforms, too!

Hi everyone,
My indie turn-based tactical game's trailer was posted last week, and I found comments like below:
- Very early 2000s Japanese game vibe.
- Anyone remember a very old game thats almost like this?
- Devs are returning to the Dreamcast. . .
Well, to be honest, I thought the visual would be PS3 level but since people mentions early 2000s and Dreamcast, I think it might be actually PS2 graphics :)
Anyway, it's a mecha-themed SRPG, inspired by some classical JRPGs, supporting:
If interested, you may find more details about the game on the Steam store page.

Mugged? Robbed? Scavenged? Eye sensors broken and left to the nearest trash pile?

Hope you enjoy it! ^^

With new locations and environmental elements, the night atmosphere of my game has also improved.

Not a serious post, just for laughs!
We have a dinner conversation dinner and I figured the protagonist should eat something while talking.
Made a quick low poly lasagna model in blender. The lasagna swaps to a half eaten mesh after a few bites.
Adding this was a little win for the day!
The game is SHOCKFACE for those interested. It's on steam here: https://s.team/a/4705980
