Finished refactoring water rendering to use the same chunk-based LOD system as the terrain, with frustum culling and async loading and stuff. No more missing chunks & holes & flickering, everything works smoothly! 🥰

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

My dynamic water system is currently somewhat independent of the large-scale water created at world generation, which leads to some fun stuff like creating a layer of water...underneath existing water 😅

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Lot of work done on system for manually deploying agents. Video about how that gameplay works from setup to finish coming soon.

#Precursor #gamedev #indiegame

Something's not quite right here...

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

First tests with large-scale water (just rendering, no simulation ofc). Pretty much everything's terrible, a lot of work ahead 😅

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

For optimization, I don't want to simulate water in a steady state (e.g. this lake), but a flat water surface is boring. So I made the vertex shader add random periodic offsets based on vertex pos hash and it seems to do the trick 🥰

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Love modern graphics APIs! Need access to neighbouring vertices in the vertex shader? Just replace vertex buffer with a read-only-storage buffer and everything works 😂

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Realized I can use dual-source blending to implement proper absorption for water rendering (needs separate per-channel alpha values, thus dual-source). That's probably an unnecessary complication, but imo it looks much better, so, whatever, we roll

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

My water simulation method (virtual pipes) is incredibly stable, but it too suffers from the CFL condition, and behaves really creepy when I increase the simulation dt by a factor of 16 👻

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Chickens now lay eggs! By default they just drop these on the ground, but you can build some nests which they will use instead. The animation needs some tweaking though 😅

please help me report these abusive harassing Steam reviews (that ridicule my SA) made to my games. steam moderators cleared them as acceptable (so i can’t flag them) but i don’t think calling me a slur & bringing up my r*pist is an acceptable review.

https://steamcommunity.com/id/Luceres/recommended/2431510/

i don’t mean to make this a bigger thing than it is but i’m tired of this… and how these being cleared signals that Valve might think this is ok. it’s not.

Logo is displayed when scanning building owned by known institution. Fun fact, institutions can own buildings outside of their region/country. Ghost labs & covert sites are absolutely on the table.

Still not happy with my weather simulation. Hard to balance interesting moment-to-moment behavior vs predictable average climate (important for game design).

Guess I'll put it aside for now and return to it after I make the goddamn devlog, lol

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Guess even Tier 1 U.S. patrols mean business. I just wanted to get some observation data in peace.

Now please excuse me while I get ready for some BF6.

After a late start a tiny game of a black cat might be forming after all 😀

PS. there is still a lot to go but it might look familiar to some - that's probably not a coincidence.

Heavy beam subtype, slow charge up, slow tracking (especially when firing), better range, brutal dps and nice swirly effect as a bonus.

WE HAVE ALMOST SAVED GAMING.
Or have we? Can we still save it?

All it would have taken was a million signatures from EU citizens.

Don't we have a million gamers in the EU who are eligible to vote?

Anybody looking for a junior 3D character artist for remote work or an internship?

#gamedev people?

Asking for a friend ;)

I'm sharing some of his work. He's making beautiful stylized character models. He also rigs and animates them.

If you're interested, shoot me a direct message, I'll give you contact information 😀

All done with #Blender!

Making game with "ufos" without crash sites is probably illegal, so:

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!

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.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #indiegame

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.

Small typo while working on Graviton Rift ability.

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

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.

hi everyone i'm creating an open source fast and simple digital painting software
right now i have:
- brush engine similar to popular manga software
- antialiased bucket fill with gap closing
- opengl canvas view
- first bits of intuitive ui/ux

i'm preparing a demo for linux folks, next i will do layer system also similar to popular manga software

Hi! I'm freeman, a neurodivergent game developer with no income focused on open source and this is the first release of my material library for Material Maker.

They can be used as they are or modify them to create more complex ones!

- Full pack on my ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/s/d86a6854ff

- Material Maker's Page:
https://www.materialmaker.org/materials?type=material&count=10&license_mask=0&author=872

You can expect more materials and videos about procedural texturing.

Boost are REALLY appreciated.

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.
