A while ago I made a pixel font, Pixuf. The goal was to make it as tiny as I could while keeping it readable. Used it in two of my games.

It's fully free (CC0), made for 8, 16, etc sizes, upper and lowercase ASCII.

Hope it's useful to someone!

Been trying to implement some more reactive elements lately.
Here's a little prototype for responsive fireflies, avoiding the player. Feels quite nice to interact with and adds a lot of life to the world.

Every time you use AI, you're helping this happen.

Stop using AI.

King replacing staff laid off with AI they built and trained is absolutely abhorrent and disgusting. Garbage behaviour from one of the biggest mobile developers in the world.

Laid off King staff set to be replaced by the AI tools they helped build, say sources

Insiders paint a grim picture at King with half the Farm Heroes Saga team set to depart and morale “in the gutter”.

Started doing a few simple props and exporting them from MagicaVoxel to Unreal. Here's a cable made with Niagara that fills the length with small cubes and sways a bit in the air. 🧊

On a rainy #screenshotsaturday - I told y'all I'd be studying @foffe.bsky.social 's awesome gameplay gym for ideas and improve my own! So many things needed adjusting as I added this simple mechanic!

Here's a short little summary of what I've added to my puzzle project over the past month. A lot of cool stuff spanning from scrubbing through cached Chaos simulations to carving out caves with dynamic meshes.

Thank you for watching! 🍻

Can't stop looking at this! So nice, great composition!

It generates a random direction from the Spawner/Player, and then picks a length between the inner(min) and outer(max) radius.

1 1

Christoffer Carlsvard @foffe.bsky.social · Apr 29

Ah, sorry! I see the issue, the radius with that node only sets the max radius, so the spawn point can be anywhere within it.

I would probably not use that node for this scenario and instead use something like this. Or do you need to use GetRandomReachblePointInRadius?

1 1

Christoffer Carlsvard @foffe.bsky.social · Apr 29

You can use a 'Random Float in Range'. Which lets you define the Min and Max for the radius, and the enemies will spawn somewhere in beteween the two. It sounds like that is what you are looking for? 🙂
