logic for contextual ground to air / air to ground melee is in! previously you had to jump and then attack once you were in the air. amazing how much this small change gives KH energy🗝️ #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #unity3d

Finally just beat commander honglan and all I want is to try again to see if I can do it cleaner. What a great boss!

I think it’s why like making dance music. It’s less subjective to have that functional indicator there. It either makes you dance or it doesn’t!

It’s possible to have taste in code: I like this code, this code is not my style, but it’s secondary. If it works it still works. Maybe it works slower or sucks to work with, but it works. Taste in art is like, the whole thing

Controversial take: do no art pass! This looks appealing and very readable!

Same! I was surprised what I could actually get away with for collision. As long as you triangulate any ngons in blender first it seems pretty forgiving. At least in unity 🤷‍♂️

AleX_E @alexepton.bsky.social · Aug 21

For something like the geo in that first pic: would you split it into smaller pieces for collision? or does using this mesh work as is?

Tomorrow! Come say hi if you’re at the con!

Yours look gorgeous btw. Those curved walkways in the first pic! 🤌

It’s like 6 level blockouts all loaded at once… to make sure they click together properly. You can walk inside those tubes visible in the bottom bit

Who else is hand modeling low poly levels? I've got cabin fever and wanna see what people have been up to.

Hand modeling as opposed to using snap together chunks or something? Everytime I try and do a kit of pieces to save time it never works out
