@alessacrea I tried this game and I loved it! The worldbuilding, graphics, and RPG mechanics were absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately it didn't autosave. I died somewhere in the mines and wasn't able to continue.

Late #ScreenshotSaturday : I made a little UI for my little CRT shader

Did you know you can make compile-time toggle switches? Instead of expensive if statements, they work through preprocessor `#if` statements. When a toggle is off, the corresponding code is not included in the final shader, and therefore doesn't consume any GPU resources at runtime.

@wilder When you said "dodecahedron hunting game" Pokethulhu came to mind.🦑 But this looks interesting and has a strong atmosphere

@ocean You wouldn't get a lot of playtime out of one before having to replace the batteries 🔋

@pandoriafalls Good to know, thanks 👍

@pandoriafalls I tried tilemaps back in the 3.x days. I ended up having to implement my own tile-to-collision mapping because there was no easy way to mark tiles as completely blocked or completely pass-through. Has this been addressed?

@eris They look like gastropods. Pie slugs on ice

@Darsycho2 It really is. Stylistic flourishes everywhere you look

A #ScreenshotSaturday with bonus tutorial.

How to make a Wind Waker style stylized water texture:

1. Draw a roughly tileable vector shape
2. Tiling gaussian blur
3. Distort slightly (GIMP: Filters > Distortion > Ripple)
4. Apply a threshold filter (GIMP: Colors > Threshold)
5. Touch up, fix tiling issues, colorize
6. (optional) Duplicate and make a shadow.

Serve as-is, or with a distortion shader.

@DawnstarGames Stairs, and by extension, elevation.

When I implemented the ability to climb up stairs/ramps in my latest game, it also led to a ton of bugs where the character could climb up tables, railings, and monsters. But it was worth it for the satisfaction of ascending. Stairs give you this sense of progression that you don't get from a flat hallway.

@maxim For my most recent jam game, I tried to maximize reusability. 1) Will this game reuse existing assets? 2) Will the assets I make for this new game be reusable in future games?

@pandoriafalls Np. I was hoping it would show up in the comments section but it didn't. I guess reviews don't work like that.

I've already been on the platforms, now I want to go below them! 😤

@britown This is mind blowing! And it sounds like you implemented all of this quadtree stuff in the last couple of days?

I've been thinking of using a quad tree for a terrain thingy I'm working on, but so far chunks have been performant enough for my use case.

#Blender artists, what is your go-to starting point for rigging humanoid game/VR/VTuber characters?

I keep running into issues when importing #Rigify humanoids into #unity3d . Not sure if it's just me.

I'm becoming a real boy

#3dart #3dmodeling #n64graphics #lowpoly #lowpoly3d

Also I'm deep into a rigging rabbit hole right now. I'm trying to get my rig/model to work on multiple engines and platforms, not just #Blender and #unity3d I've always loved #Rigify for its widgets, but it takes some work to convert Rigify humanoids to the various other humanoid rig formats out there (#Mixamo, #VRM, #Mecanim).

How do other 3D artists make cross-platform humanoid rigs?

@SharkaBytes Jean-Michel Jarre brings me right back to this era. Thanks for sharing.
