Pokemon news be like

A latte-flavored pomeranian gazes deep into your eyes and asks your soul for a small piece of cheese.

Losing my mind over the pomeranian Pokémon starter. I may actually have to play this one...

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

I love that my feed here has so much more magnificent art on it than when I was on the bad site. Everyone makes such amazing things! Aaaugh!

Women in game development, ASSEMBLEEEE!!!!

All I seem to be doing lately is following huge lists of super dope artists. What a problem to be having. XD

A non-exhaustive list for shape lovers

AltYello for sure. I know this probably sounds like a broken record a bit, but for verified altgov members, they have a starter pack they update regularly.

Anyone on that list, you are absolutely good to trust in. That said, they are also still human, and at times may fuck up

Since it's xmas eve AND there's apparently another wave from xitter, let's have a starter pack X #giveaway thread.

Follow, like, & repost this by xmas to A. Follow cool people and B. Win an advanced ebook copy of my pulpy lesbian cyber-romantasy BOOM goes the Bride. Read it before anyone else!

it is #followfriday and I would like to direct you guys to my starter packs tab because I have A LOT of them. So today's share is all these wonderful artists you can support with Ko-Fi!

A 3D rendering of Martarus, a fiery, molten volcanic moon.

A 3D rendering of Ru, a teardrop-shaped moon covered in a metallic lattice and a very thin atmosphere.

Here are the three moons of Wyrmskye. Deroia, the Chained Forest Moon. Martarus, moon of molten silver and gold (my favorite). And Ru, the mysterious shadow moon.

I have not vanished! Nor have I stopped working on #Greeble4. Indeed I have been taking a break, however, in anticipation of an impending case of burnout. As a refresher for myself, I've been working on an unrelated worldbuilding project in #blender. Welcome to the world of Wyrmskye.

Finally! After a long dev summer I made a new video! Greeble 4: Update 13!
Worldgen distance doubled! Lighting enhanced! More Pickups! And the flying Hovercart!

We did it gang! All 150 spots have been filled! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The best wishes to each of you in all of your endeavors 💚💜

I will be doing more of these in future with the next one dropping next week. Looking forward to doing this again!

Thanks a bunch! Cheers! :D

Still got a spot? I'd love to be in one of these!

A screenshot of street in a glowing neon, multicolored megacity. There are red-striped cone-shaped structures and hovering platforms.

A screenshot of the distant skyline of a glowing neon multicolored megacity. In the game the player can travel to an explore every visible surface, including the distant asteroid behind the structures.

A screenshot of a street-level walk through a glowing neon multicolored alien megacity. Pictured here are a number of red-striped cone structures and a hovering orange orb.

It's been a while, huh? This summer has seen me fighting multithreading and refactoring a whole lot of code. I doubled the render distance and increased the fps, overhauled entity spawns, as well as a whole lot of other stuff.

Don't worry, I'll make another video soon. #greeble4 #godot #blender

Went ahead and made a starter pack of Iranian/Persian artists I know who deserve all the love and support now more than ever. Let me know if I missed anyone and I’ll add them go.bsky.app/LHbyaKpv

New #Greeble4 Update! This was a big one! The #MegaSpacePort is becoming more full and interesting. Have you ever wanted to explore an #alien #megacity?

Skipping a #Greeble4 Update again this week because I am on Vacation! And I wanted to have a BIG content update next week. :DDD

Yesss I implemented a system in #greeble4 for certain objects to persist between different magnitude scales. This opens up a lot of options for catered landmarks and finer details for objects that exist at larger scales. #godot #madewithgodot #procgen #megastructure

Newwww #Greeble4 video update! In Update 11 I show a lot of the new content I added, mostly the overhaul of the greater MegaSpacePort itself. #alien #megacity #megastructure #madewithgodot #godot #scifi #space #indie #solodev #procgen #devlog #lowpoly #blender #walkingsim

A common UV-mapping image used to assist a 3D modeling artist with the process of mapping a texture to a 3D model.

Took another step toward controlled worldgen in #greeble4. Textures can now be projected in 3D space onto the surface of larger objects and their colors will determine which terrain objects are chosen.

This means I can use my own drawings as a basis for the terrain generation. #godot #madewithgodot

No #Greeble4 Update this week as I have been mostly squashing bugs and the new biome isn't anywhere near ready enough yet. There will be a few new little surprises here or there in the next update, however. :D

An overhead screenshot of a cyberpunk megacity showing off the utilization of noise functions in the procedurally generated game world. There is a dark patch of buildings surrounded by glowing neon structures. The dark patch represents where the perlin noise has selected a certain kind of building, while the glowing neon structures are a different selection. There is also green debug text in the top corners, and near the bottom, the player is holding a golden token item.

Oh man, I just took a big step toward making the worldgen in #greeble4 deterministic by way of layering noise functions (and potentially textures!!!) and projecting them in 3D space!

You can see the perlin islands now instead of sheer, homogenous chaos!

#Greeble4 : Update 9! Began the long and complicated process of implementing interactables. Also updated some of the biomes! More to come soon! #godot #madewithgodot #blender #megacity #megastructure #scifi #space #scifi #indie #solodev #procgen #devlog

Gonna have to skip two weeks in a row and not post a video update of #Greeble4 tonight. Too many life things in the way and game progress was mostly background code for the Interaction system anyway. You can pick up and drop trash bags now! Looking forward to next weekend (3 day weekend!)

The way I am fighting back is by teaching my students how to identify misinformation and what to do about it. It may seem like too little too late, but for the sake of their future, for the sake of all of ours...I hope it makes a difference at least.
