Just a dork that has a passion for game development. May also be slightly obsessed with fantasy (and dragons).

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

in LOVE with the work of Brett Allen Johnson 😍
A painting depicting horses in front of a great rock. Big old stylised clouds in the background. A painting depicting some big fun clouds and... Cacti? Some kinda desert plant. A painting depicting... Rocks? It's very stylised, ok - there's a mountain in the desert and some rocks. A painting depicting beautifully stylised trees in the mesa. I think that's the right word.

Been a while - am in the middle of a move again and Uni eats up my time

Anyways, this should look a bit more polished! I'm no artist so by all means I'd appreciate some feedback!

Sunset over a desert view - this is when the heat distortion starts to fade. Note the new highlights shader. Midnight in the desert. Sunrise over a desert view - this is where the heat distortion starts to grow in intensity. Part 1. Sunrise over a desert view - part 2

Been kinda busy with uni and master exam prep, so not a lot of time to work on my project.

But in the meantime, here's some scenery at night along with me messing around with puzzle systems and emissive textures.

Twilight over the desert. The star shader is not mine, you can find it here along with its author: https://godotshaders.com/shader/stars-shader/ The player stepping on the pressure plate, causing it to light up orange. This uses a modification to the plate's light shader and screenspace bloom shaders to fake a light source instead of a separate spotlight. The entire circuit that the two pressure plates make up was activated, causing both pressure plates to light up green.

Finding out that this whole time I've been repeating textures wrong

Don't be like me, don't use fract()
Enable the repeating texture flag

(for Godot that involves enabling it via the node's texture options or passing the `repeat_enable` hint to sampler uniforms in shaders)

Spent a solid day trying to debug the seams that were flickering across the Gridmap in Godot at certain camera positions.

[WARNING - Nerdy explanation incoming]

It's a little hot out today, good thing there's an occasional cloud's shadow to give off some shade. ⛱️🌵

Changes:
- DOF is disabled by default
- Shadow highlights are disabled as they seem to mask some of the regular highlights (fix incoming!) - also they need to be toned down

A barebones scene showing off a 3D orthographic perspective using voxels in order to give the illusion of a 2D game - now with extra visual flair!

Decided I wasn't quite happy on the direction of the artstyle, so I'm cooking up something... different

Here's a teaser for what I'm working on - hint: this is not 2D, but 3D

Thinking about adding a drop shadow, yet I'm not sure if this feels right

Been a while, but I've been cooking up a revamp with the shader code.

Just followed a bunch of people back that I had on twitter.
Sorry to see that place turned into a cesspool, but I suppose its high time for me to prioritize posts here.
