Got a new playtester, if only their arms we're long enough to reach the controls 🫳🎮
Also got the game running on a Steam deck, though the DoF post processing is too heavy for it.

Still working on this, it has been slow since going back to work but I'm just trying to recover from burnout and enjoy creating again (Critique very welcome!)

My tween animated Hollow Knight interface is out!
This is the fanciest page of the guide so far, but it should be fairly simple to understand!

Gen AI is like a massive oil spill on the internet, even if you try to look up reference images of real world animals half of the images will be AI slop 🤮

Updated one of my blockout levels with new platform models to see it in use. Definitely need to create some more props and environment pieces to break up the repetition.

I'm really working to make Wild Cosmos a polished experience and hope players will notice.
If you like what I make, simply sharing it around helps greatly.
I don't have a dedicated budget for the game, I'm making it in my free time, this game could be my stepping stone for future projects.

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 🫣
