The Ugly Truth About Spotify is that Spotify hires fake bands to produce bland unmemorable pap and promotes the songs on the algorithms, reaping enormous profits while real artists get pennies.

Testing the new collision's features in VFX Graph, I made this cheap Katamary sample. Meshes are GPU particles, that stick and orient to the sphere. The Collider radius is driven by the sticky particle count stored in a tiny buffer. Thanks @shadi3st.bsky.social for the help on particle's orient.😁

I wrote this technical art post some time ago on mixing 3D and 2D for Wizard with a Gun. Seeing a lot of games come out with this art style lately, probably inspired by Octopath Traveler and similar games.

We have advection!

But not projection, so it just slides off with no interaction with the nearby voxels.
