Back and trying to get into the swing of things. Will I make a warmup that isn't a fake book cover with a bullshit name? No, never!

Not to continue stirring up negativity, but it's so depressing how many people are still following this AI "pixel artist"

TL;DR Unity -> Godot transition: after 13 years in unity, it took me 4-6 weeks of getting adjusted, and now i’ll never go back. it has quirks, like other engines. there’s bugs. but it’s free, basically equally capable, and well reported issues get fixed quicker than in unity (sometimes within hours)

MEMES! THE DNA OF THE SOUL! Congratulations to @krishty.bsky.social! For those don't know, Krishty has been reverse-engineering this game for many years, so being given unprecedented access to the game to modernize and lead a faithful re-release must be a dream come true. A real passion project.

90s Glide-core graphics, reloaded

Connoisseur of pixelated 90s polygons? This release supports the original screen modes and graphics, rendering flawless on modern systems. But if you like to enjoy the Glide-era graphics in super crisp anti-aliased 4k, we have you covered too!

Glidecore: The aesthetic of early hardware accelerated games. - Low poly, with filtered low res textures stretched to hell - Texel density? What the hell is a texel? - A lot of flares/particles because wowee blending is easy now! - Looks like (or literally was) a graphics card pack in

Incoming (1998)

Project 2100 type Long Range Patrol Craft(LRPC) of the Brotherly Nations Cosmic Fleet (FKBN). It served mostly with the Exosphere Command and in several civilian roles. While it possessed a limited offensive capability, its main role was space surveillance and early warning

More #lowpoly #godot video game action! This time I have enemies flying in formation. If you destroy the leader, the rest will scatter and do their own thing which isn't ideal. But if you attack the rest first they stay as a cohesive block which is easier to deal with!

Decided to spice up the background stars a little. The cool thing about these is they're actually rendered ontop of everything additively, but I make them flicker in and out whether something is obscuring their centres.

Work marches ever on on my #lowpoly #godot project. It barely looks like anything has change since my last post but believe me, I've put far too much effort into the pettiest of things no one would ever notice but me! Also added pitch ladders, roll indicator, compass trackers and targetting brackets
