Added this "chaos mode" to my #noita -like roguelite for benchmarking the falling sand physics
60 times a second it spawns some material, triggers an explosive, spawns or kills an enemy, etc.
It's actually surprisingly fun? (captured in slo-mo-dbg build)

A new level editor for my multiplayer falling sand game: www.slowrush.dev/news/falling...
(You would not believe how much time I spent reading about how undo and redo works in image editors just to make this go, but it was worth it)

Input image
Level loaded from input image
Made it so I can load levels from an image file. This'll make prototyping a lot faster, and aside from that just makes designing levels more fun.

Finally added a player character! Adding basic features like this becomes super satisfying if you're not using a game engine. Pretty soon I'll start prototyping different game ideas using the mechanics I have.
#gamedev #indiedev #fallingsand #cellullarautomata
Made the water splashier. It's still too clumpy but looking a lot better.
#gamedev #indiedev #fallingsand #cellullarautomata
been working on temperature mechanics and cell transformations, all a bit hard coded right now and some interactions dont work, but its getting there.
#godotengine #godot #fallingsand
fire is now integrated, which means im now where i was at in the GDScript Integration, having materials transition between solid/liquid/gas would be a fun mechanic if i ever integrate temperature
#godot #godotengine #fallingsand
I think I broke it
#gamedev #fallingsand
Creating a simplified ruleset for chunks to use if they only contain one type of element; it doesn't look the nicest, but ideally it will allow for bigger worlds where pixels can simulate at a simpler level when you aren't looking at them.
#gamedev #indiedev #fallingsand #cellullarautomata
Happy New Year! Added fireworks for the occasion. Hoping to do a lot more game development in the next 12 months.
#gamedev #indiedev #fallingsand #cellularautomata
Explosions can now launch pixels into the air if they aren't outright destroyed. Thanks to @neostalgic.bsky.social for the suggestion!
#gamedev #fallingsand #cellularautomata
Added explosions! Pixels now have hit points based on their material, which determines how much of the blast they can take before being destroyed.
#gamedev #fallingsand #cellularautomata
No sand sim is complete until everything is on fire. I might need to turn down the smoke a little; the fire in the bottom left gets suffocated by it almost immediately.
#gamedev #fallingsand #cellularautomata
Finally got my shader working properly, so I've been messing around with procedural effects for each pixel. Lava and steam are looking a lot better.
#gamedev #opengl #fallingsand
Rewriting my sand toy to use OpenGL instead of drawing each tile individually. Currently broken but it makes a neat visual effect.

Lately I've been getting obsessed with cellular automata and falling sand games. Here's a basic sim I made a few months ago that I'm gonna try to expand and make a game with.
