Hey #PitchYaGame,

Enjoy Quake-like Retro FPS games? KOOK has Lovecraftian monsters, steampunk weapons, lots of movement, time distortion, and some insane gravity behavior.

I've made a video of the process of using blender for textures here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5ta...

KOOK on Steam

A fast-paced, Quake-like retro FPS in a Victorian era steampunk setting with Lovecraftian monsters, distorted time and gravity, and crazy weapons.

Grabbing the freebies off of Fab, importing them to UE5, exporting them, importing into blender, rendering out the different texture maps, and bringing them into Godot is a bit of a process, but I think the result is pretty cool:

Screenshot of the door texture within the game KOOK, using strong lighting to highlight the self shadowing and normal maps.

Fortunately, it was just because I had something plugged into the USB slot.

Oof, that looks like when I had a memory leak so bad, my video drivers crashed.

It's spooky season, and my computer tried to scare me.

Photo of computer monitor screen that reads "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key", implying that my computer couldn't boot any more, but actually it was because I had storage plugged into the USB port.

Quick tip, add the "-fspv-target-env=vulkan1.1" command line argument to Compiler Explorer's RGA to get it to compile HLSL shaders with wave intrinsics: godbolt.org/z/PKoh5d51K

Compiler Explorer - HLSL (RGA 2.6.2 (DXC trunk))

// The entry point and target profile are needed to compile this example: // -T ps_6_6 -E PSMain struct PSInput { float4 position : SV_Position; float4 color : COLOR0; }; float4 PSMain(PS...

Still testing the new rebelle to see if it could become my main software. I need to learn how to limit the amount of extra strokes and reign in unnecessary textures, but I think it's getting there.

I didn't realise that the metallics would shimmer this much in a timelapse ✨

Not a fan of heavy handed tutorials. In Fist of the Forgotten, I tried to let players discover the mechanics, but they didn't click for some, so I'm adding a tutorial level that can be loaded/resumed from at any point.
