Graphics programming is such a weird beast

Even when you stuff it up you get cool results

Here the radiance cascades lighting for my #noita -like suddenly gained a disco mode, but only at certain screen resolutions

Started trying to solve a minor bug of players getting mixed up

Ended up making my own gamepad-compatible UI framework with animations and localization: www.slowrush.dev/news/uis-pla...

Taffy-powered, iced-inspired: immediate API, retained UI under the hood (tree diffing)

Yep! A super annoying biome maybe

Oh yeah! Reduce the parallax effect a bit to make it seem closer to the terrain, maybe shrink a bit..

Still not sure I want it because obscuring gameplay when stray pixels can kill seems a bit harsh - but maybe as a challenge modifier?

Accidentally got a parallax terrain effect for my #noita -like

Except it's in front of terrain instead of behind it

Definitely file under "shader accidents not worth keeping"

When you give a #noita player access to your game's version of wandcrafting, but you haven't actually balanced it yet

My equiv of #noita 's wandcrafting is coming along

I directly show the relationships of what Signs can trigger other Signs, which is hopefully clearer to players than Noita's wand draw rules.

Force directed tree was too springy so trying out Reinhold-Tillford trees!

Prototyping a new take on my equiv of #noita 's wandcrafting.

Instead of a linearish wand with insanely complicated draw rules for spells, maybe I just directly show the relationships of what Signs can trigger other Signs?

This tree is a bit too springy though!
