How can I help with this project? I'm a graphic designer and would love to help create textures for this game! <3

The textures, sorry to say, I already have since I'm making an exact replica of the game, so I can just rip the textures from the original. However I might have something you could help with and if i can officialize the idea, I'll get back to you on that very soon!

Emulated Dreams

A game jam from 2018-09-01 to 2018-10-22 hosted by timeloop. On 22th October, the cult classics of weird and experimental LSD Dream Emulator has its 20th anniversary. Let's celebrate it by making games inspired

This is an awesome game jam deticated to LSD’s 20th anniversary, if you haven’t seen allready. If anyone is interested in making an LSD styled game, then help out timeloop by checking it out and even joining his discord server. The end result will be great!

[vantensman]

I need to see what percentage of my viewers have an iPhone or android, as then I know whether or not I have to be worried about the iPhone release. Shouldn't be a problem though, I'll get something figured. If you could vote, that would be great. Thanks all!

Could you make a LSDPortable discord?

Yes, but there are alot of LSD related discords, but I guess I’ll make one soon.

“Its four songs i made inspired by LSD, I would love to help this game continue!”

This was sent in by @donovangamedev​. I will be using these songs for LSD:P. Check out the songs he made!

Streaming Behind Scenes?

So I was thinking to start streaming some behind the scenes for LSD:P for all to see over at twitch. I just want to know how many people would come over to say hi if I did. You would see behind the works of the original LSD Dream Emulator too, since I have things such as the games maps and mechanics. You would also see new additions to the remake too, and of course just chill out as well. Tell me in the comments if I should do that!

[vantensman]

do you use unity? if so, theres a really neat PSX shader on github that would be a really nice option to give a nostalgic feel :•]

Yep I use unity! and I never knew about that shader. I might actually use it. Thanks for that!

LSD Portable Website Update

My website now uses a .net domain: lsdportable.net

.tk websites suck and it didnt really work for me. Sorry for the inconvenience and constant updates! Upon release, LSD:P will be uploaded there for some time being.

LSD Portable Website

I’ve made a simple website for LSD Portable, where I will temporarily upload the android APK to, simply because I’m doing this for fun and I want to spend no money on a google dev account which I will only ever use once in my life. Although I might in the future. As for IOS I’m not sure how that’s going to go, I’ll see in the future. For now, the small, free website is here: lsdportable.tk

As for game updates I’ll try to implement something that will automatically download the apk from my website and install (not sure if that will work, but I’ll figure something out).

Once again thanks for all the support so far, and for 100 followers!

Would you ever add the ability to save models as obj, fbx, or anything to LSDView?

I’ll be adding OBJ model exports in a future update, as well as exporting textures to common image formats.

[vantensman]

Yes! this is what I need. Once this is done, I will be able to export the level data from the original game straight into unity. This way I can make the levels a lot faster which means my game will be done quicker. Thanks Figgle!

[vantensman]

Google cardboard support for LSD? Man, this, coupled with the fact we’re getting revamped (thanks giggle :)) AND portable has absolutely increased my mood. Good luck man!!!!

YES! Portable will have google cardboard support and I hope any kind of VR headset out there for mobile. Thanks so much for the support too!

LSD Portable Menu Update

Above is a prototype of the menu (still not finished) for LSD Portable. Looks different than the original but is more optimized for mobile. I am extremely happy with it, and will use it for the final game! It was designed by @ravenscrawl who is as you can see much more talented than I am at design.

Since the proposition for a menu designer worked, I also need some music for the game - some seamless loops in the style of LSD. I allready have 4 fan made loops but I still need more. So if you have previously made some loops for LSD Revamped and it was either used or unused, or you want to make NEW loops, if you could, you can send them to me! I will definitely use as much of the tracks I receive as possible. To submit, email me the loop in .wav or .ogg format (.mp3 also accepted) with you nickname signed to give you the full credit in game! Email - [email protected]

LSD Portable Menu

Here are some screenshots of how the menu will look

For now its really bland and ugly, only because i’m not an artist and I know no one will probably volunteer to help so i’m forced to do this myself for now. I’ve also worked on the mechanics of the graph with the selector box being white for now.

The graph/chart works really well, but now I have to figure out what the 2 variables that control the graph are affected by. (in original game event_x & event_y as wiki states). Again if you want to help this menu look nicer then please tell, I ain’t an artist!

One more thing - in the future of LSD Portable I want to have some sort of VR support for a cheaper alternative to LSD Revamped if you can’t afford the gear (like me).

LSD Portable Update

Not posted an update in a while as i’ve not been working on the game for that while. Now Im working on the game once again, and have made a lot of progress. Currenly working on Happy Town, and will start on Violence District. Also, a little late, but Happy New Year everyone! Heres some screenshots of the game

[vantensman]

Hey man, I've just found your blog, not sure if you're still working on this but I hope you are. If you have any questions about the game feel free to ask me! Looking forward to seeing more progress.

Hello figgle, thank you for supporting me to continue re-creating this game for phone! I thought people would love this, so I began working. I wasn't expecting you to see this but now that you have I will put all my best effort in to this. Thanks so much figgle you have just made my day :) and Merry Christmas!

[vantensman]

First of all I would like to thank @fuckyeahlsddreamemulator for reblogging my posts, this gained me some followers and a good audience :D

News

Im sadly going back to school soon so the progress speed of development will slow but i will do my best to make everyone happy by releasing this game ASAP. I know this is a small project not  as big as LSD Revamped but I want to make people happy too so I will treat this as a big project =]

Progress Update

Up above you can see a Gif. This Gif shows how linking is implemented with the joystick controls as movement detection is a lot different for keyboard controls. I also finished all UV’s in Bright Moon Cottage and am nearly finished with Pit & Temple as well. Look forward to seeing the behind the scenes of Kyoto. Also if you have any question regarding LSD Portable, then use the "Ask a question" thing to ask me =]

[vantensman]

Progress Update:

i’m currently working on aligning all the UV’s together so the game looks neat. This is very time consuming and I only just learned how to do this. Without this ugly UV Grid, Bright Moon Cottage will look very nice, all pixel perfectly aligned. I will procede to do the same for Pit & Temple and will start recreating Kyoto.
