Behold... Apparance Town Toy! Tinker with a tiny town. Fiddle with procedural forests, towns, and skyscrapers. Free download, link below. #ScreenshotSaturday #ProcGen

I've been using Sam's software (Apparance) as an insanely powerful runtime #procgen tool for Unity/UE games for the past few years and it's insanely underrated. Some of my work is on that article, check it out!

Viconia

I was thinking how cool it would be to have a floor by floor DK game system, clear a procedural floor, go to the one below, scroll back up anytime to manage production bits on higher floors.. Rogue meets DK or something. Dwarf Fortress-style irrigation and job system. But then I ran out of time

Few days learning #godot 2D by remaking Dungeon Keeper with Zelda assets so I could focus on code
- digging!
- NPC hijinks with courage/exploration goals/avoidance/etc, not just stamina/hp!
- custom Navmesh to suit dynamic maps!
- Fog, and shader minimap!
- Save Files!
- Local Multiplayer!

We have two corgis so I'm claiming an extra bonus point too 😁

Would love to jump in if possible! Cambridge-based dev here!

Thanks for the warm welcome to Bluesky guys!
As well as my gamedev stuff, I'll also post some art I do

Hello! Could I be added - making both games and tools!

Brush icons from a painting program

You can drag in Photoshop brushes (.abr's) as well!
This required making an .abr "stamp extractor". I didn't find such a thing online so made one myself.

I should have painted something to show this program off but every time I open it, I think of 5 more things I want to go implement instead!

Dropping a few more random projects I'm tinkering away at. This one had the joke title "Godotshop", as was used to learn #godot
Just a few days spent on this so far, but got:
- Playback/History
- Mobile/Desktop UI (runs great on Android)
- Custom file format with autosaves
- Smoooth brush handling

Thanks for making these! Trying to find other indie gamedevs on here and would love to be added if possible!

3d viewport of a modelling program

Yes! Started it (pic attached) from JeffM's excellent integration - github.com/raylib-extra... for anyone reading this who doesn't know.

I'd like to get back to making some smaller tools with raygui also soon. Keep up the awesome work Ray!

Looks great!

This looked really cool.. then I tried Pico-8 myself and realised this was actual black magic!!

Hi BSky! Gonna be posting a bunch of different but always interesting things on this account. I've been an artist/AD in the games industry since 2010, the past couple of years I switched to TA and #procgen programming roles. Here's a 3d modelling program I'm making to learn C++ with #raylib

Not so great! 😁 For now anyway...

Seeing how Bluesky handles the video quality!

Throw me in, chief!

Hello Bluesky! Nice to see a migration from Twitter happening. Here's a painting I did for an IP 10 years ago that seems apt
