Really excited about this release, which includes a few PRs I enjoyed working on.

TrenchBroom 2026.2 Release Candidate 1 is out: github.com/TrenchBroom/...

Cooking up a refreshed version of func_terrain #comingsoon #gamedev #trenchbroom

Playing around with hotspot texturing for #trenchbroom #gamedev

Finally submitted a work-in-progress PR for a "sweep" tool in #Trenchbroom - unlocking a bunch of creative brush geometry with a simple UX. github.com/TrenchBroom/... #gamedev

Submitted a PR implementing an Arch shape tool for @trenchbroom.bsky.social that saves a bit of time. #trenchbroom #gamedev github.com/TrenchBroom/...

Needed an install-free way to rip samples, so cooked up a tool for capturing & trimming audio from any browser tab, window or screen. Requires a Chromium-based browser. tools.ummjackson.com/tabture

Getting to a point where I can construct rooms pretty quickly using #mallet #godot

Spin tool. #godot #mallet #gamedev

Beveling is fun. #godot #mallet #gamedev

Got primitives hooked up in what I'm calling "Mallet", for #Godot. #gamedev

...and we've got basic UV mapping hooked up. #godot #gamedev

Sharing a web app I cooked up for monitoring #bluesky lists. No auth required, just copy/paste the list URL. Change the list you're watching by pressing F1. Personally using it in a pinned tab for headline aggregation, figured someone else might find it useful. #api tools.ummjackson.com/flyover

Getting somewhere with this #godot #gamedev #3d

Experimenting with building a middle-ground Trenchbroom meets Blender style of geometry editing for basic level design inside Godot itself. I think a big part of getting the workflow people love right is all in the UI/UX. #gamedev #godot

Just posted the first batch of some free, CC0 256px textures I've made for #gamedev and prototyping. Hope someone finds them useful. ummjackson.itch.io/256px-textures

256px textures by Jackson Palmer

A collection of 256×256 textures for game development and prototyping.

ummjackson.itch.io

Cooked up a web port of SLK_img2pixel that runs entirely in-browser + adds hotkeys and direct Lospec palette fetching. I'm calling it img2pixel4web:. #gamedev #texturing tools.ummjackson.com/img2pixel4web

I've always wanted to run the SLK_img2pixel tool on macOS, and thankfully it's open source - so I finally got around to getting a build working. Just submitted as a PR: github.com/Captain4LK/S... #gamedev #pixelart

New Slay the Spire is awesome. And very cool it's made using Godot.

Cooking up a lightweight framework for building CLAP plugins contained in a single .cpp file that build with an auto-generated ImGUI-based UI.

A free UI sound effect generator I've been working on, inspired by the popular "sfxr". Handy for #gamedev / user interface sound design (clicks, taps, swishes, etc.). Kind of fun to just sit and keep pressing the randomize button. Work in progress build @ tools.ummjackson.com/uifxr

Experimenting with a procedurally generated, resizable, pixel-perfect custom StyleBox resource in #Godot. No NinePatch textures required, all drawn using math. #gamedev

Just discovered jade-ite.itch.io/worlduv by @jadeite.dev and it's very cool - especially if you're a fan of Trenchbroom / Hammer workflows.

WorldUV (Blender addon) by Jadeite

Hammer Editor-style UV tool for Blender

jade-ite.itch.io

Playing with shaders. #gamedev

If you're looking for an MP3 player in 2025, I highly recommend the "Innioasis Y1" w/ Rockbox firmware + iPod theme... ~$50 for a solid little device.

The new Oneohtrix Point Never album is sublime stuff.

Uh oh, started down the "I should build a voxel game" rabbit hole. #gamedev

First build of my web app "func_terrain" is live: tools.ummjackson.com/func_terrain It lets you quickly generate noise heightmap-based terrain then copy/paste it as brush data directly into #Trenchbroom Completely free to use / whatever you make is yours, etc. #gamedev

Working on a noise heightmap-based terrain generating web app that outputs brush data you can easily copy/paste into #Trenchbroom #gamedev
