Testing Buoyancy Water Effect

Quick update: added pooling Spammy nodes be gone! Stutters down, frames up. Feels like a weight off my shoulders. #gamedev #indiedev

It’s been a while, but here’s a game dev update!
- Improved level design
- New trees with particle leaf effects
- Fresh level textures + toon shader effects
- The blocky “Minecrafty” look is gone

Next up:
- Performance improvements
- Parallax upgrades
- More sinister gameplay

Oh no, it's the unbearable Interdimensional Karen: a floating head that pops in, blocks your view & demands “to talk to the manager!”. Hilarious yet infuriating, still deciding if she stays or gets yeeted back to her own dimension. #gamedev

Between interviews and life events, I finally pinned down the menu revamp! Sleeker UI, easier visual tweaks, and a hefty "under the hood" rewrite. Graphics/UI will still evolve, but now I’m shifting to fresh level challenges, new hazards & objectives beyond enemy mobs. Onward!

Still working on re-designs, but in the meanwhile, there are walls from the earth

apples new os design == windows aero

Spidey senses tingling...

Not much new to show yet, but a few updates:

Reworked switching between bubbly messages and dialogue.
Started the story
Added a key character
Added a short speed boost
Forgot to remove audio, oddly, it fits

More redesign & gameplay tweaks coming soon

Let's goo

life hijacked my last 3 weeks, but I’m back in Godot 4 and knee-deep in 3D modeling the next biome. Update-bits soon again.

Just wrapped up my @reactvienna.com talk! My threejs live demo glitched 😅, so I recorded a quick recap starring my shader sidekick, GobGob—this time the ending actually renders. (A few shader effects are not shown in the video, but you’ll get the idea!)

The pic represents the best side of me. Hope everyone had fun :)

Game dev is easy, but good game dev is really hard!

The cover might fool you, but inside is an unexpected mystery. Every time I thought the story had revealed everything, it kept unfolding with more twists. In true Japanese fashion, it dives deep into details, here, picture composition...and only comes together at the final pages.

I like the style :)

testing grass with movement in it

multimesh grass (not sure about performance here, but ill figure out improvements)

update:

.) simple box mesh grass (vs multi mesh grass, video below)
.) first iteration of a menu (probably will change completly)
.) change camera perspective to orthogonal instead of perspective

Coping hard when an implementation doesn't work as expected

so much fun

More VFX, MOOOORE

Give me all the features

just created a sprite texture image from my 3d model

i start to really like learning shader programming

Yes, if you are on macos and upgrade be sure to check that your add-ons are up to date as well. An outdated state lib caused my Godot 4.4 crashing 98% of the time when tab switching (probably while auto reload scripts getting back to Godot)
