Tried another platforming obstacle. This one probably won't make it as it is too easy to accidentally fall out of it or otherwise fail that doesn't feel nice. #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #IndieDev

Cool thing with the compute shader approach is that I can also hijack the cloud raymarching loop to chuck in some volumetric fog in a different buffer with barely any additional computational cost ✨ Now try to imagine how cooler this would look if those cloud shadows were actually accurate 👀

Quick tip if you're working with clouds: put them in the scene to contextualize them, cause otherwise you'll drive yourself mad thinking you've made the worst looking clouds in the history of rendering That being said, I guess I like how these clouds look ☁️ #gamedev #madewithunity

Was playing around with some light film grain when I thought it might look cool pixelated with outlines, and it does 😌 I won't be using it for Oniros, but it's definitely a vibe #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDev #Shaders

As expected the video compression break the film grain look 😔 The youtube version is slightly better, but still not the same as in the game youtu.be/7N1ZzToXNJw

You know what it's time for? It's time for me to wreck my notifications all day by reminding everyone about these starter packs I made for game devs who don't use generative AI in ANY capacity. There are three: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

Full world paint system using Godot's lightmap UVs to automatically work with any mesh in the scene. Godot doesn't actually support doing this so it got a little hacky at one point. #godot #godotengine #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indie #indiedev #indiegame

Updated the project to Godot 4.7.1, which means I get to add nearest scaling for that crunchy pixel look 👾 Here's hoping Bluesky doesn't compress it to bits #GodotEngine #GameDev #IndieDev

Surprise! New video about basic story structure for game trailers, common mistakes to avoid, and some examples of trailers with great storytelling. This one stems from months of working on a day long masterclass I gave recently in France 👀 Shares much appreciated 😊

In my memory there were a lot more Bwomps (or any shoving platform) in 3D Mario games, but there are surprisingly few. There are about 2 levels per galaxy game and even then the level has like 2-4 Bwomps in it 😔 Anyone know of more examples in other games? #leveldesign #platforming #platformer

Part 4 of the Procedural GPU Patterns #GodotEngine #gamedev series introduces hashing. We implement a simplified version of the 32-bit xxHash algorithm. We also create float values by directly putting bits in their mantissa. catlikecoding.com/godot/proced...

Hashing

Use hashing to fill space with pseudorandom values, in Godot Engine 4.

Drew a little self portrait based on a recent photo in the same style as my game Oniros. Should I use it as new profile picture 🤔 My current photo is like 6 years old by now #Drawing #SelfPortrait

I've tried once more to make clouds you can run into. I've given up on alpha clipped approach. These are a particle system of billboards, lit only by the view direction (no normals). #ScreenshotSaturday #Shader #GameDev #IndieDev #TechArt #GodotEngine
