Technical Writings

Because I tend not to use off-the-shelf engines and tools, people often ask me questions about my tech stack. Through the years, I've written quite a lot of words about it and my development process in general. Here's a list of those writings:

• Lunar Wake Postmortem
  • Part 1: The Engine
  • Part2: The Tools and Pipeline
  • Part 3: The Concept and Design
  • This 3 parts postmortem is the first I did and goes into great length about the "Dream engine" I used for most of my subsequent projects. This is usually the piece I link to when asked about it.
• The Trespasser Postmortem
  • A short postmortem that uses the more usual format of "3 things that went right and 3 things that went wrong". It's not as detailed as my other pieces, but it still expands on what I mentioned in Lunar Wake's postmortem.
• MVM22 Jam Postmortem
  
  • This one is a bit special because it talks about Silent Paradise, my first game jam entry in a decade or so. As such, it talks mostly about the process I followed to make a full metroidvania in just a month.
• Aereven Advance Postmortem
  
  • This postmortem covers the development of my GameBoy Advance homebrew game. As such, it's not about my usual Dream engine but a new one made from scratch for the occasion. It goes into great lengths about how the scripting system that powers most of the gameplay works.
• Distant Paradise Postmortem
  
  • This one isn't about Dream either. Instead it acts as a sequel of sorts to the Aereven Advance Postmortem, because I also make a new engine using a similar approach but for a web-based metroidvania this time. It was a unique chance to address the issues raised in the previous one.

More to come, certainly!
