We saw the Melbourne show last night! It was lovely

What are your favourite implementations of console game virtual cursors?

...do you think they can ever feel elegant and intuitive?

Its a pretty simple and straightforward decision to avoid actively degrading the creative process by using genAI.

We're excited to announce that the Frosty Mini showcase will premiere on December 10 starting at 8am AEDT / 10am NZDT (that's December 9, 1pm PT for our USA friends)!

Tune in for exciting news and surprise announcements from 20+ of the coolest games made in Australia and Aotearoa NZ.

...now everyone can bask in the elaborate pun I managed to jam into my talk 😈

Super cool - looking forward to it! ❤️

Amazing stuff!

Quick implementation question - did you swap them out with meshes after morphing or was it performant enough to always render the sdfs?

Congrats Dan!! ❤️❤️❤️
