Fascinating. I knew a bit of this (e.g., fingers/pick near the bridge on a bass gives you a harsher sound with more bite due to the differing harmonics), but the variety of oscillating shapes from different excitation methods are wild. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYdX...

stumbled on this interesting reverb allpass delay calculator website - polarity.me/posts/helper... - i think trom a member of the bitwig grid community. the IR it generates is quite nice in my initial quick test, tho i suggest an allpass feedback of 0.75 rather than 0.5

All-Pass Reverb Calculator - Diffuser Delay Times for Bitwig Grid

Calculate all-pass delay times for smooth reverb tails. Pick a preset for plate, hall, shimmer, or metallic reverb, set the first and last delay in ms, and the calculator spaces each diffuser stage to...

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

"BECOME A GREAT ARTIST IN JUST 10 SECONDS" The award-winning game/glitchy art program @smestorp.bsky.social and I made in 2013 has now been rereleased on Itch for modern OSes. Try it out!, and make sure to tell any friends you want to play a weird prank on mermaidindustries.itch.io/become-a-gre...

I spent the last month obsessed with finding colors that can't be displayed on a conventional screen. This is what I found. moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/w...

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

As promised, here's a writeup of how this system works :) torcado.com/blog/simple-platformer There's a playable demo and download for the p8 cart on that page. It's CC0, do whatever you want with it ❤️

I got bored the other day and finally took the plunge into playing around with pico8. I started by writing a custom platformer physics system, and the goal evolved to me trying to handle every notoriously difficult feature people run into. here's one-ways, moving platforms, boxes, rigid carrying...

I made this a while ago. There are some vertebrates in here but the inverts steal the show. I especially love the triangular plaid on the velvet worm.

If you enjoyed my posts about Metroid games you might like to learn that I made a fully drawn strategy guide for the original game several years ago. It's free! www.handdrawngameguides.com/free-guides/...

[ 1/31 ] 🧵 Time for yet another megathread of my favourite satellite pics. This time I have 123 images processed by me in 2025 *. Various dates, random places. Most of them were taken by Sentinel-2, some by S-3 and one or two by Landsat. *There's one more pic that isn't mine, but it's so good 😊

Camera rewrite proceeding apace: it casts two spheres - one the size of the camera, the other slightly bigger, it uses the latter as a soft target, with the former as a hard limit on how far away you can go. Satisfying - I had been far too tolerant of penetration until now. #OeufGame #GodotEngine

Made a little VR locomotion tunnel vision shader. This is a pretty standard trick to mitigate motion sickness for players that want to use smooth locomotion. It works by showing a stationary environment in the peripheral vision during smooth locomotion. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Are you able to tiptoe like this with a Switch 2 JoyCon? Well, you can't without a 28.09 mm physical extension to your stick. For more info about "thumb-travel range" and its impact on retro-gaming and on our general joystick knowledge, see stick-it-up.adamscott.studio

@jonaskyratzes.bsky.social Hi! Is the soundtrack to Phenomenon 32 available anywhere? I don't have a windows computer anymore but I'm getting nostalgic for it. :)

Scavengers Reign (2023) The best recent sci-fi show that almost no one has seen.

I've spent *years* researching 3D Platformer Cameras in hopes of making Slime 64's camera "not terrible." In this thread, the White Cylinder is the Camera Target (slightly above the player!), and the Orange Cones represent the "vertical dead zone" where the camera won't follow player movement.

beepbox.co isn't listed on @itch.io as a tool so i started the process of listing it except (!!!) you have to include three example games and i don't know who uses beepbox because it isn't searchable on itch!!! anyone use beepbox & got a project on itch that i could include?

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I updated "Perspective in 2D games", an already 11 year old tutorial, with all the knowledge I gained through the years. Never stop improving yourself! #gamedev #pixelart You can download a lossless single sheet version on my Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/cyangmou

The contract is that I will willingly suspend my disbelief and accept the storyteller's contrivance. But in return I expect them to earn or minimize their contrivances. I expect major coincidences to occur at the beginning and start the ball rolling, not provide solutions at the end.

A radius in a square (or other regular polygon) is the distance from the centre to a corner, because these are always the same length, but distance from radius to any arbitrary point along the edge will vary. Apothem is distance from centre to the middle of an edge (where it meets@ 90°)

Not sure if I'm just slow to realise this- but I follow a lot of international art accounts, especially Japanese and Spanish language ones, and I wasn't seeing them in my feed as my content language was set to English. If you deselect every language under content language you should see everything.

10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.
