Hi! I'm back. I didn't leave, I just disappeared for 25 days. Did you miss me? idk, I'm glad to see you again 😘 I didn't do anything except create a game ( #godot) for one jam. btw, I made it into top 45% --- So, I'M LEARNING #WEBGL! good luck) #indiedev #gamedev #3d #art #3dart

This is taichi. it opens up many possibilities. For starters, it's a #Python library that allows you to run Python on the #GPU well almost, but it's not like that. google it yourself 🤪 I hope I can get back to work and show you more stuff, welcome! 😘 #indie #indiedev

Just making a game 🔥 with the team for a serious juniper dev jam.. lol idk what it's called btw i'm back, wish us luck! #gamedev #indie #indiedev #godot #godotengine #gamejam

IT'S ALIVE! 💥 Spent way too much time fighting #Godot 's ScriptExtension API, but I finally made my custom language (.gdt) compile directly to GDScript inside the editor! Huge plans for this: adding tuples, decorators, and cleaner syntax 😜 github.com/EmberNoGlow/... #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

I created a cross-platform language within #Godot ecosystem, without resorting to C++. It works thanks to ScriptExtension! It dynamically compiles to GDScript on startup (currently using template). It works in the browser (wasm), Windows, Linux, and directly in the Godot editor!💘 #GameDev #IndieDev

I CREATED A CUSTOM PROG. LANG. IN #GODOT WITHOUT USING GDEXTENSION!! 😃 It's amazing that Godot allows you to openly use ScriptExtension without using C++! Im tired, lazy to tell, but FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS! More details in future! github.com/EmberNoGlow/... #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDev

I'm still working on my shooter with Raymarching rendering running in the browser. I've done PBR, shadows, ambient occlusion, and other stuff. It looks okay, but it could be better. btw, I use Fedora 💀🤣🤣 #GameDev #IndieDev #Web

I'm using Fedora, btw 💀 It's a shame it's not Arch - that would be an overused phrase. nyway, now I've ditched my 🗑️, aka Intel 4000. I'm back with Forward+ available. But when I turned on vol fog, GI, SSAO & lightmap, I realized the game didn't look any better. 😭😭 #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev #Linux

Hey guys, I'll be unavailable for a couple of days, or maybe even a few weeks. I hope I can fix the internet issue, so know I'll be back.

Building my own engine from scratch was a great experience! & to my surprise, everything is very convenient in the browser, & my fear of JavaScript was for nothing! Of course, I thought it would be easier. I added camera control to my shooter, created using SDF and RayMarching! 🙃 #GameDev #IndieDev

It's fast, but it could be faster! I'm still working with WebGL and Raymarching. It's 60 fps in a small window, and 30 fps in 1280x720. There's still room for improvement, but it's not bad! No polygons, just a 3D texture 8x10x4 #GameDev #IndieDev #Shader #Web #WebGL

It worked! There are no polygons here! It's ray-marching! 3D textures! True, it's not real SDF. BUT IT WORKS! At 60 fps! Excellent! Now, I'll combine graphics and physics! Will I be able to fulfill my challenge by creating a full-fledged shooter with such graphics? #GameDev #IndieDev #Web

I'm exhausted. Seriously. All this GameJam, #Godot... So I discovered the wonderful world of JS! Yeah. You might say I did what a n00b would do - yeah. But I've got something crazy. I want to make a 3D shooter using webgl! I'm working on physics now. I hope I don't give up. 🦊👾 #GameDev #IndieDev

WE CREATED A GAME!!! 😌 This game is terrible, but we tried so hard. Well, idk. There's time to fix it. I'm too lazy I gained a lot of experience, including the lesson that you need to embrace less ambitious ideas 😭 embernoglow.itch.io/tethered-arena #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine

​Fight in the eternal arena!

5k spheres. On my Intel 4000. On the CPU 💀 In reality, modern #hardware isn't important. Optimization is. btw, this is fake, it's just a projection of points onto the screen, and drawing spheres based on them. And the shading is sqrtf(1 - nx*nx - ny*ny) 🤣 no triangles! #GameDev #IndieDev #3D #Art

AI in #games is intentionally made bad to make things easier for you. This bot hits me 100% of the time if I'm standing still. An invincible enemy. btw, we're making a game. during the 10-day #gamejam. 🥴 #Godot #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDev

A little about medicine. I made a couple of first aid kits, even though the game doesn't have a health system yet lol 💀 #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Bots are a strange thing. It feels like the #Godot Navigation mesh with Navigation Links works in a way that I will never understand, lol. So what can we blame on the engine or on the crankiness of the developer (me) 🤣 #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine

Hey... 😻 IT'S FINALLY READY!!! The easy-to-use #CPU Lightmap Baker is here. While making this project, I wrote pure #C, bound to #Python using Ctypes 💚. It can bake Lightmaps for any engine - #Blender, #Godot, #Unity, etc. #GameDev #IndieDev #3D #3Dart #art link: github.com/EmberNoGlow/...

My #CPU Lightmap baker is pretty good. I'm going to publish it now! There are still some flaws in the code, and the lighting could be improved, but overall, the result is good. What do you think? 👾 I 💜 pure #C compiled into a #DLL and stuck in #Python with #Ctypes! #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot

Finally... Tomorrow's the release date... MY LIGHTMAP BAKER IS WORKING!!! Now I can bake maps for #Godot in compatibility mode - for #CPU, and not just Godot, but for everything else! It was tough... 😴 I 💜 pure #C compiled to DLL + #Python with Ctypes! #IndieDev #GameDev #3D #3Dart #Art

I'm sharing my results and workflow. After I ditched that useless AO with its noisy samples, everything became, lol, better once I added a proper scattering function. The problem is, the code got messy. 🥱 #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev #3D #Art #3Dart

Lightmaps are important, everyone needs lightmaps. It looks bad. 😒 My implementation sucks. #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #Render #3Dart #art #3d

I created a 3D character using meshy.ai It's a good tool, but the UVs are terrible and the topology leaves much to be desired. 😈 Sometimes I feel like I'm being too versatile, but hey, welcome to #GameDev, where you should be able to do everything. #IndieDev #3D #Art #Blender #3dart

Yes, I did it!!! TEXTURES WORK!!!!!!! I 💛 #RAYLIB. So, will I be able to ditch #Godot in favor of Raylib? I really enjoy seeing progress, which is a core goal in Godot, but somehow reinventing the wheel feels... joyful?! 🤯 #IndieDev #GameDev

I added a couple of shader rectangles. I like it better than #Godot - no editors or scenes. Downside: I'm moving slowly, as I'm assembling graphics, physics, audio from diff parts like puzzle, unlike Godot, where everything is ready-made. But I have complete control. ☢ #Raylib #GameDev #IndieDev

Yesterday: I love #Raylib + Ctypes Today: I hate your systems!!! Lol, I started over because I'm confused, the AI ​​didn't help me, so I'll use a ready-made binding. Better to do it somehow than not do it at all. I have a shader. Victory. I hope this is hardest #gamedev part 😥 #IndieDev #Python

This is... Copilot, what did you do to me, and then blew away with your limit? How do I clear this out? Shaders in #Raylib are the most painful (and everywhere). Idk, but it should be rectangles but it's two stripes and I can't fix them. I'm tired 😪😓🤯😩 #IndieDev #GameDev #Python

I tried #Raylib + Ctypes, and it's so amazing. I hope I can do something much better than in #Godot. We'll see, I'll be doing a simple project for now, but this demo (code) is only 4KB of text. Wow! I'm 💚 #Python. Right now it's just text, but in the future... 🧐 #GameDev #IndieDev #DevLog

I'm not much of a #3D #art, much less a level designer. My progress is slow, so the IK system release will be delayed for a couple of days. 👻 But!!! I have ✨ 150 followers ✨ on bsky and GitHub! That's a great incentive to keep up good work, thanks for the support! 🤯 #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot
