Some more images from my particle based gravity simulation.

Two white circles with waves of dots (colored orange, yellow, and blue) flowing out of them.

Experimenting with a GPU-based newtonian gravity simulation. The white circles are planets with simulated gravity, and the particles are colored based on velocity. Emergent behavior is beautiful.

Optimizing a Falling Sand Simulation To an Unreasonable Degree YouTube video by NivMiz

Recently posted a video about my most recent project, a GPU-based falling sand simulation!

Rainbow Sand 🏳️‍🌈!

Experimenting with colorful sand in my GPU falling sand project!
I'm completely obsessed with how this looks, I can't stop pressing play and watching the simulation run 😆

Working on a little falling sand simulation that runs on the GPU using a compute shader! It's coming along nicely, this is a 1280x720 simulation running at ~600fps

Working on the interaction system in Reptilian! You can now grab certain objects, and carry them around in your mouth!
#gamedev #indiedev

Started adding some customization options for your lizard character in Reptilian! I'd love to hear any new hat ideas you all have 👀
#gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #blender

Got shadows working with the toon shader in reptilian! I also took the opportunity to add some distance fog, which I'm not yet sure about. What do you all think?

Reptilian on Steam Reptilian is a short, cozy, open world adventure game, set in a desert oasis resort populated entirely by reptiles! Play as a lizard as you walk, climb, and swim around this charming little world.

Just uploaded the Steam page for my next commercial game project! If it looks interesting to you, please go wishlist it! #gamedev #indiedev #WishlistWednesday

Oh wow! Didn't use BlueSky for a few days and came back to about 200 new followers 0: Welcome everyone!

I feel your pain lol
this is a bar graph for one of my shorts last year 😭

The smoke and mirrors of game development lol

I've actually implemented a feature that automatically realigns your controls with the view directions, so it feels quite natural to climb downwards! I've tried the camera system where its always at your back, but it felt weird, more like mario galaxy gravity fields and less like scaling up a wall

Wishlist now! - store.steampowered.com/app/3369190/...

Just made a short trailer with early gameplay from my game, where you play as a lizard and explore an oasis filled with different reptile characters to befriend!
Go wishlist on Steam (: store.steampowered.com/app/3369190/...

Thoughts? I'm trying to figure out if I like the smooth shading look better than the hard shading.

Is that a spade/magic staff? I really love that idea haha.

I could take the Node3Ds

Oh thank you, I didn't know about that one! I'll definitely use it for next time

Just posted a video of each! @kpikes.bsky.social @emdoodev.bsky.social

And here's the smooth shading:

Videos of the two styles in motion!
Here's the hard shading:
