I've added the ability to play music to #DuskEngine, and I also made a little music player app for the in-game phone to test it out. Bonus night mood at the end. All of the music was made by opengameart.org/users/joth #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #enginedev

A cool #DuskEngine feature I've been working on is supporting custom editor windows written in Lua. Editor scripts are placed in folders called "Editor", so they can also be shared between projects like assets. The commented code for this demo window is here pastebin.com/XrGPwtXA #gamedev #enginedev

Long time no post; dev on #DuskEngine slowed a bit these past two months, but some code still got written. Here's a new feature, the ability to specify a time scale for FixedUpdate in scripts. Slow-mo, speed-up and pause are now possible #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

TVs no longer show a basic effect when on and instead they can tune in to channels, and the Ads Channel will loop this ultra epic ad I made for the ultra epic placeholder paper bag. This uses the UI system, much like the mobile phone I posted a while back #enginedev #gamedev #indiedev

I've added waypoint networks to #DuskEngine, with navmeshes soon to follow. In the meantime, Rina makes full use of the new feature to enter her home and do some more stuff in it — NPC routines go hand in hand with waypoint networks #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

Some cool new features have been added to #DuskEngine UI - most important being that scripts can now create as many separate UI instances as they want and have them be rendered to textures. Which means interactive in-game mobile phones #gamedev #enginedev #indiedev

I've added new features to #DuskEngine UI system these past days, most important being that it's now possible to add opacity and scale modifiers to entire branches i.e. have elements fade in and out and animate their scale in scripts #gamedev #enginedev #indiedev

The shadow situation in #DuskEngine is slowly improving, here is what the newly added CSM looks like so far #gamedev #enginedev #indiedev

DuskEngine can now render transparent materials (such as these windows) with OIT #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

I modeled a TV and made it interactable (sorry about the light leaking into the room, I've yet to fix that) #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

To help test stuff more quickly: live shader reload #enginedev #gamedev #indiedev

Final bloom spam for a while but I wanted to show why I implemented bloom in the first place, which was to make this lamp look more lit :) #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

A cool geometry nodes trick I learned a while back for when you want to spawn objects of different types w/ different frequencies: use a color ramp node and you also get a visual representation for how often each object will appear blender.stackexchange.com/questions/30... #blender #gamedev

Have to be able to show lists of things in the game UI so I've begun work on implementing layouts; vertical to start with, grid sometime soon #gamedev #enginedev

I made this volcano spell many months ago to act as a test for creating and destroying entities repeatedly, I need a better stress test now but I still enjoy spawning a few volcanoes to cause some mayhem every now and then #gamedev

First attempt at combat-like behavior in my engine, DuskEngine. Like everything else in the scene, it's scripted in Lua #gamedev
