Mimic Meadows was featured in this Kotaku article!|

I've been working on the full version of Mimic in #godot for a year now and I've discovered cool new mechanics like eating and mating~

Wishlist to get pinged when the demo comes out: store.steampowered.com/app/4136640/Mimic_Meadows/

another fun addition is a custom sticky triplanar solution that allows for seamless (ish) drag and drop texturing on both static and deforming meshes

Another feature update: players can drive changes in materials through modulators, allowing for some classic motion graphics effects

Trying out a bit more formal attire with a black tie... Made the camera movement more dynamic, too.

I know this is just a wienernoid farting in zero G, but to me, this is the most beautiful thing I've done in a while. Really loving working on 3D games after only doing 2D games in the past.

First pass on the gizmos! Thanks to @shimmey.bsky.social for sharing his awesome grid shader. So good for prototyping.

A bit late to the party, but here it goes!

I'm Michael, and I most recently released a puzzle game called Ouros! You can play it on iOS, Android, Steam or Itch! (ouros-game.com)

Currently working on my next little project! Check out my itch page for more stuff: sharkwithlasers.itch.io

We are animating the gizmos, people. Pulling out all the stops.

The most important feature of the game is the ability to make these little freaks dance.

Another structure with movement driven from the in-game modulation system.
