Isn't still more worth it than google though? I keep hearing stories where people make a lot more money on the apple store, since people there tend to be spenders.

Working on better shadows for my 3D maker game! Implemented a cascaded shadow map from scratch (each layer is shown with a color). This allows shadows to be high resolution up close without sacrificing performance.

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone. Currently working on the cloning machine. Ever played a game where you could clone anything including the player?

Love the stylized pixel art. Is this a voxel game?

Looks nice! Reminds me of Starmade

Impressive amount of terrain at a good performance. Do you have some sort of automatic Level of Detail optimization going on?

I made a minecraft resource pack that adds 汉字 to almost every block to practice learning minecraft vocabulary while playing. Pinyin optional

Nice game. Have you considered making the front characters bigger than the back characters to improve the illusion that the characters are in the scene drawn in the background?

I'm sure the unicorn ritual could help undo the curse...

Ah I see. I'm at the other end of the spectrum. Instead of not finishing projects I never start anything new unless the project I'm working on is finished, thus never starting anything new

Nice. I think some randomness could make this a lot more organic looking

Nice. Now make the ball squish on impact for 10x more satisfaction

Great fur. Is it shell texturing?

Why not? Looks marketable enough, that's a good hook

Wow love the Zelda 1 style! Funny how the boss gets more knockback than the player
