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)

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"

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!
