I made a free web tool to create gradients along svg paths ✨
With it, you can create masks to animate fancy curves in your games instead of doing it by hand 🐰

I've simplified the edge detection, where it now only looks if any surrounding pixels are further in depth. The edge then is darkened depending on how much further it is. This leads to a softer overall look that I like.

This is our 3D platformer BIG HOPS!
- use your tongue to grab stuff, swing around, solve puzzles
- master froggy parkour with wall running and free climbing
- use veggies to build your own paths through levels

Been working on the look of terrain and platforms, currently using a grid map setup. While it allows me to make blocky terrain of any shape, I'm not sure yet if it is an efficient way of making maps (both time and performance) 🤔
Does anyone have experience with gridmaps?

What if instead of fixing the bugs in the shader code I just make it worse instead and call it a feature?

After some shader wrangling and trying to get grips on the compositor I now have an anisotropic Kuwahara filter based Depth of Field effect (that's a mouth full 😳)
I hope it's not too compressed in the video 🫣

I'm new to level design, but creating small alternative paths of traversal has been the best part by far.

I told myself I wouldn't look into edge detection for this project, as it always becomes a rabbit hole... anyways 🐇

For this Saturday I greyboxed a level. Having an actual level is great for finding pain points in your game and learning how to design around them.
