HI! I'm a 3D Artist, game developer, and general art making person living in Berlin, Germany. Excited to share experiments, works in progress, and meet like minded people. Currently making Parent Printer Driver Simulator
New Season, coming soon. I keep writing silly things here It's just one of those things, I fear that mostly I just sort of do Anywho, having a lot of fun with the new snow shader. No as much with the whole procedural snow cover. :D #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #winter #shaders #madewithunity
Here's a 1 minute or so clip of building up a structure from the beginning. I'm really enjoying the water situation here, but debating, in addition, a few different ground type settings. 🌊 🌳 🏡 #indiegames #indeidev #gamedev #madewithunity #treehouse
I'm really happy I switched to an SDF method for light bouncing the night time lights and shadows. It's such a nicer look, and can have pretty granular controls over the vibe. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #island #lights #treehouse
While testing, I keep making things that feel sort of like roller coasters. Or just a really long walk. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity
Playing around with water shaders is fun and frustrating. But it can be very rewarding, too #madewithunity #gamedev #indiedev #water
Despite a few little bugs and incomplete/not awesome looking UI, the photo mode can now properly record compressed mp4s with audio. Next up is hooking up and testing the gallery idea. #gamedev #videomode #indiedev #madewithunity
contemplating ocean type options, partly just to deal with the horizon... :D Even though it feels a bit on the nose for some of the main inspiration for this experiment, I can't say I hate the way it looks either... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #island #treehouse
Currently working to add a short video clip mode to the photo system in game. And it's proving quite annoying haha #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #videomode
Yea I think the update was a good idea :D Treehouse Town is a chill, semi-vertical town building toy for PC. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #treehouse #vibe
Okay so I'm wondering now if a massive atmosphere visual matches the style of the game or not. It looks amazing though... #gamedev #questions
Every cloud. one cube. Normally wouldn't be super necessary to even play around with this stuff, but since you build your houses and connections upward, it means we might get a little in the clouds. #madewithunity #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #treehouse #cloudy
custom wind system + walks + tires! (and leaves) (excuse me for the UI mistype please) - I'll try to make a few more vides about the wind system. but it's finally working with dynamic SDF-like collision 🛞🍂 #madewithunity #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #treehosue #tires
Here's a clip of the new wind system and particles, in action, from Treehouse Town :D (clip didn't upload with the last post for some reason) 🍁 #madewithunity #indiegames #weather #autumn
I'll post more soon about the custom wind system for my game, Treehouse Town!. It has a very fun visualizer :D 🍃 🍂 🍂 🍃 🍂 #madewithunity #gamedev #indiedev #particles #wind
Storm on, storm off. Weather systems are fun :D Trying to dial in the rain look so we'll see if this one sticks. Definitely less noisy. #madewithunity #gamedev #indiedev #storm #treehouse
Procedural tree experiment failure? I don't know... probably... Probably right? Hard to say 🌴 #procedural #failure #ornot #indiegames
New weather experiments. Depth map orthographic camera for splash/rain occlusion. Pretty fun. ⛈️ #indiedev #gamedev #TreehouseTown #indiegames
An evolution of experimenting with trees. Things aren't always linear, as many of you know, but it's always an interesting process. #madewithunity #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamws #treehouse
In Treehouse Town you build houses in trees, just like these! (I've added seasons) #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #treehouse
Playing around with shadows in Treehouse Town 🌞🌳🏘️ #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #treehouse #madewithunity
Still playing around with treehouses. I think this is the thing... The tree grows with you, as you build! 🌸🌸🌸🌸 #IndieDev #GameDev #Solarpunk #treehouse
Testing out some season ideas for my chill vertical town buildier. This season? Boingo! It's Spring! #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #madewithunity #treehouse #toy
I'm really enjoying the nighttime version of the trees as well! 🌃 #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #madewithunity
In my game added a tree that grows around and supports your structure, making it into a treehouse of sorts. 🌳🏡 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #treehouse #town
