Another experimental custom vfx volume modifier for meshes + custom particle processor.

selective particle emission + light on any mesh shape by intersecting the modifier volume sdf w/ random ptx spawn points on geometry data fetched in particle processor

Video games are fun and cool c:

I've been playing tower defense rpg Castle of Alchemists which I have found to be quite delightful <3 it has lovely pixel art and great music and the mechanics are very cool.

What new indie games are you playing lately frends? :3

The most interesting thing to me about game development is how much you really have to walk this line of humble and ego. You have to believe in yourself but not TOO much where you become blind to your own flaws. You have to care deeply about quality but not be a perfectionist to a detrimental degree

So like is there no separation between video game development and board game development in Bluesky's tags? I like board games just fine but I'm really only looking for video game dev stuff and currently I'm getting both. Any tips would be appreciated ☺️

Game dev has been way harder than I expected—a real reality check on my skills. 🧠💥 Trying to piece everything together has been frustrating. Thinking of making a smaller, jam-sized project first to really understand how a game comes together. #GameDev #IndieDev #Learning

The challenge of game dev is beyond words because of it's scale and variance. All you have to do is be willing to walk the path shown in front of you. You have the ability to do anything you put your mind to. It won't be easy, but nothing truly worth doing ever is. I believe in you !

Also, making something bad isn't a failure, it's the first step in making something good! You just have to keep going! #gamedev #indiedev

The most important skills for game developers that nobody talks about: emotional maturity and openness to criticism. If you won't listen to other people about your game, there's no way you'll make a good game. #gamedev
