A similarly styled meme, with some different proportions and reflections on the ball
An unshaded screenshot of the scene. The text that appears in the image is floating beneath the platform and ball, tilted with the camera.
I felt compelled to make this in Blender
By the way, are you familiar with @lorenschmidt.bsky.social? Her aesthetic and procedural works seem up your alley
It's be nice if they had chosen JXL instead; that format both has pretty good lossless compression, great lossy compression, and progressive decoding
I think Bluesky uses WebM now? Past a certain point recently it seems every image I download is in that format. It likely has some similar but different compression quirks
Very cool! I think WFC handles backtracking by checking if propagated constraints create an invalid scenario, and if so it undoes the changes and forbids the changed state, which sounds similar. Probability weighting from Markov chains sounds like some extra sauce, though!
Even if isn't deleted, it makes it easier to return to pieces you like. It's a win-win
Very cool and very satisfying to watch, is this something like wave function collapse? I don't see any solver backtracking, but it seems similar
Here's a quick peek at the new lighting in Island Architect! Feels really nice to see the lighting react as you build houses, edit the terrain or watch time pass.
The new solution has bounced lighting and reflections, all without relying on ray tracing hardware.
And so AI continues to extrude disappointment.
Some of this criticism could be attributed to an amateur's sloppy myopia if it were real writing, but that em-dash to semicolon is inexplicable (and a clever observation).
An RSDF render of Sherma. There are artifacts around small lines and tight corners, but the colour transitions are sharp.
A closeup of the RSDF, showing some 3-colour junctions.
The bitmap equivalent to image 1. There are no artifacts, but the resolution is very apparent.
The bitmap equivalent to image 2.
The best I have to share right now is based on a trace-over of Sherma. Here's an image using a 128px (!!!!) SDF; I think it's pretty high quality, especially compared to a bitmap of the same size.
For quite some time I've been working on rendering multi-colour vectors with SDFs, and I have a solution I'm fairly confident in that I would like to share soon. But first I ought to finalise my SVG converter, and create some SVG art of my own to show it off...
Interesting how these lefties never go after nazis (shit eating smirk)
This is so, so well-articulated.
Those player animations look very good, especially the tail. Are you using procedural animation in there?
"Are indie games developing a gambling problem? We'll discuss this in our article by focusing in solely on recent examples that have slot facades while ignoring the entire history of mobile games made by actual gambling industry designers"
Love the choice of alt text
Especially if it's a bunch of inconsequential ones, that's where the meat lies
Unfortunately "talent" definitionally implies natural (effortless) ability, and is often used by legacy media this way, but many people just say it to be nice and as a substitute for "skilled"
publicly traded game companies is such an idea. i have an idea, instead of making sound long term plans which benefit our employees, the integrity of our work, and that of our company, let's have a bunch of fickle parasites make all our long term decisions for us.
This brings to mind Outer Wilds, Rain World, Animal Well, and Stray, which I am also quite fond of
Hello internet, AITA? Here is a slanted retelling that favours me in every possible way, and don't even think of asking for details
This shader is a very pretty effect
I've created the first character animations for Hana, she can now walk, run and jump. Also, dust particles 💨
There's still plenty of animations to make, and I'll probably give these another pass before all is said and done, but I'm pretty happy with the result

Nice question! I think I will answer something entirely different instead.
That is very pretty, it reminds me of a retroreflector or a diffracting metallic surface
Their two latest posts capture something interesting about the perversion of coding as craft, of the betrayal and revulsion, but disappointingly plummet into resignation as if they have no say over it
Once I heard somebody suggest gluing pencil stubs onto sticks or other pencils to get every last bit...
That came out super clean, can flash just convert bitmap this well automatically or do you do a bunch of cleanup?
Oof that sucks, you may find things go a lot faster the second time though
