I'm desperately trying to get off of Twitter but the #gamedev world (particularly the indie game dev world) seems deeply entrenched there.

I'm trying to build my network of game developers on here. Please share your suggestions on who I should follow! Thank you!

Updated the Start-Screen of my game after I was asked "In what engine did you make it?". Should be clearer now!

I hooked up the precipitation system to weather data, so here is another "timelapse".

Note: The building on the left with a completely collapsed front wall was an accident unrelated to a large spaceship.

I've integrated time flow manager and connected some other things. So here is little ~24h time lapse (only general simulation is sped up) while in zone view.

Now, full disclosure: The game isn't designed for players to spend prolonged, continuous time in a zone, while the timescale in there is 1:1 with the real world. Hence, I am aware that the light direction in a zone doesn't change, nor do advanced atmospheric conditions like fog.

First Graviton ability - Suppression field. Consumes two distortion levels from all affected vehicles in the target area. Suppresses the effect of gravity and heavily disorients the crew, slowing the fire rate and reload times.

Next one, Surge, tomorrow.

Me and @Nightingalle made an entry for the Godot Wild Jam #62, I did coding and 3d, and she did audio, music and 2d art.

This is the first thing we've made in Godot, turned out pretty well considering that. I might write more about my experience with it later.

#gamedev @Nacchan commission open :blobshp: :nacchan:

Because lights are really important in setting the tone of a horror game, I'm making sure things look good! 2D sprites gain incredible depth with some normal mapping. This one was done all by hand and I'm really proud of it! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Inb4: Don't worry, I am focused on the target.

Pitch: Defcon but it is Earth vs Mars, The Expanse style, railguns/nukes/gravity slingshots.

If you're not aware of the Black Game Developer Fund (I wasn't!), hey, now you are. This is rad! https://blackgamedevfund.com/apply/

Yo #GameDev folks, maybe spread this one out a bit? I know very little about the fund itself / I can't vouch for it or anything, but more options to choose from is better than less when it comes to funding.

Good luck to the 17 participants who already joined, and because I cannot wait to see the results, I colored a sketch with Pepper and Carrot playing a 'VS Fighter' (Carrot is clearly winning).

Metroid Prime full screen static effect texture would require too much memory and GameCube only had 24MB. solution?
texture is generated using the current RAM data which is the game running itself, and it looks like noise. #gamedev
In this clip as Samus approaches the Pulse Bombu, the screen fills with static to show interference with her visor. As we worked on this a big issue is the memory use of the noise texture. The Gamecube only has 24MB of RAM, so every texture has to be carefully considered.
If we used a low resolution texture (64x64) to save memory the “static” would be blurry and not crisp. One engineer on the team came up with a great idea: what if we just use the memory holding the Metroid Prime code itself! We quickly tried it out and it looked amazing.

Skyrim handles NPCs inventories by hiding chests under the map. Most are impossible to get unless clipping is used, but sometimes you can find them. #gamedev
Skyrim has no small number of NPCs, each with their own dialogue trees and animations and pathing. Managing their behaviors themselves is nothing short of a gargantuan task, not to mention tracking inventories and player interactions. One way developers eased the burden on NPC tracking? Hidden chests. Nearly every NPC in the game has a hidden chest under the map that stores their inventory for them. This helps ease the system's burden in tracking inventories, leaving instead to the chest asset to hold. Some of these chests are impossible to get to, but a fair number of them aren't hidden too deeply. With some clipping (of course) through floors, players can actually loot these NPC chests rather than trade. Anything to save a bit of gold, eh?

Journey has no automatic shadows. All shadows were painted by hand in a low res texture. To get the iconic sunset columns to cast sharp shadows, they aligned the pixel grid of the texture (3rd picture). #gamedev source: https://twitter.com/matt_nava/status/1503152810078052355/

Katamari Damacy only has support for closed circular paths, so to handle spawn and despawn of falling boulders, they make them travel beneath ground to start point! Also memory efficient. #gamedev https://twitter.com/JasperRLZ/status/1289960052250435584

Sega Saturn used Quads instead of triangles (the industry norm) for rendering, which is good for 2D but not as practical for 3D, devs had to work around that, so games like Tomb Raider had to be built to support quads on Saturn and triangles on PlayStation #gamedev

In Prince of Persia (1989) animations looked fluid & realistic because @jmechner used Rotoscope. He filmed his brother doing the stunts, took pictures with a camera, had them developed at Fotomat and then traced them, frame by frame. #gamedev

In Metal Gear Solid 1, another reflection trick. Water puddles are just a transparent texture with the geometry of ceiling and walls duplicated and inverted below the ground. That's why we can't see Snake reflection in puddles. #gamedev
