hello again everyone!

sometimes you wake up violently hungover only to realize you somehow solved a rendering problem that’s haunted you for years

anyway back to bed

#techart #gamedev #pixelart

you are right, the UV gradient that governs how much a sprite can bend was a bit too lose

that is so nice of you to say! if you ever want any advice or bounce ideas for lighting sprites send me a dm!

i hear you! but you know what they say about rules, right? i find it fascinating to mix the old and the new to blur the line between how we remember older pixel art games and how we perceive them today

always is!

no detail is too small but seriously if im going to finish this game i need to stop doing things like this lol

#gamedev #pixelart #techart

thank you!

nothing weird about this no sir

thank you so much!

glad to hear it! ironically i’m also not typically the biggest fan of pixel art haha

thank you so much!!

so happy we decided to actually go with getting sprites to react to lights and shadows properly - it makes creating scenes such a joy

#gamedev #pixelart #techart

one thing ive been really excited about is our new movement system where we leverage pathfinding instead of direct movement which allows the player to weave naturally between objects in the scene instead of having to judge exactly where things are in z space - pretty neat!

#gamedev #pixelart

i really wish i was above external validation but its kind of hard to rebuild an audience here amongst the blue skies - but i will keep at it!

so if you want to follow along on our journey making our strange little game please do! ❤️

"yes i realise that we'll never actually are going to use 10k agents but the important thing is that we now can if we wanted to"

it's friday, it's spring and i get to make video games for a living - what more could i possibly ask for?

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

want your character to walk on a swaying ship but don't want to mess around with rigidbody movement? just parent the world to the camera and sway it instead!

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

this was a productive use of my time, i dont care what our project manager says

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

thank you! i'm aiming for the game to by 97% mood

a little movement!

#pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

ready for the next leg of the journey!

noted!

a couple of weekends ago i started writing a synthesiser engine in unity which is turning out pretty neat so far! :)

#indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity

i recommend everyone to try building their own tools in unity, its so damn satisfying to create something that works just the way YOU want it - like wearing a tailored suit (i imagine)

#gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

Little details like these are what it's all about man

#gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity

i hope im not the only one that just adds gizmos because it makes me feel cleverer than i actually am

some new volumetric lighting tests 👀
