I took a little diversion from my usual TechnoVisual Space and ArcVenture devs this week and tried out a little prototype hover race game for mobile, web and desktop - created in #RogueEngine ( #threejs ) using Kenney's amazing space assets - much fun! ๐Ÿ˜Ž #indiedev #solodev

Myth Confirmed! Youtube shorts use a FUBAR compression setting which you can't change ๐Ÿคจ (or not as far as I can see ๐Ÿ‘€)

Just posting this here to see if Youtube make the same pigs ear of the compression as it did with my previous short - I suspect the compression settings for shorts are FUBAR

I didn't use paint for my studio, I had a fabric backdrop - but the most important part is lighting - it must be evenly lit - I used long florescent tubes around the background and a couple of defuse boxes uplighting + one key-light from above/behind www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Vi...

This is the frame registration - the fly-wheel turns with a stepper motor and contacts with a piece of copper tape - if it hasn't reached the copper tape then the motor advances another step until the green led lights - then we're good to go with the frame capture.

Captured using a Raspberry Pi with Picamera (HQ) in HD from a 16mm cine film nearly 80 years old! The film runs at 24 frames per second but I have upsampled it to 60fps - the sound was captured separately using an optical sound read head on a Bell and Howell Filmosound.

This is part of a quick fly-through in VR to give you an idea of how things are coming together.
If you want to get early access to the game and tutorials about how it's being made. #threejs #RogueEngine

The Creative Industries Sector Plan just dropped, and for the first time, video games aren't an afterthought, but part of the solution! This is a huge achievement for our industry and video games.
