Added some spooky undead.

Also finished wrapping up a rewrite of the character (or anything really) generation code and updated it to make this video.

It was something I needed to do for the kindom-culture generation which is up next...

Indeed. I might try to use the black-without-highlight for demons or undead or something like that later.

White-eye version.

Inspired by #DontStarve, which I made a mod for ages ago. :3

This version had a tendency of looking like they would skin you alive and wear your face as a mask.

Still a bit creepy-cute though. Imo.

Been testing new eyes for the mice.

It was really just a crazy midnight thing, but I realized I kinda liked it.

A previous co-worker's idea to add the highlight. 100% better.

Two other attempts in the comments to this post.

Replying here to avoid spamming.

Any another looping little video with more idly dancing characters because I'm want to share. :3

Mostly been working on data structures, but I also set up some new graphics, outfit combos, etc.

The game went from 1 head graphic to 11 (after endless tweaking and tuning).

I'm pretty happy with the results tho! :D

Mostly worked on the rendering system, which can be seen on the apparel which can now have various rules for colors, etc. :)

In the future it will be possible to get more fancy with it. :)

I also had to redo every single setup for every hair, skin, etc. Oof.

#indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Did some work on an apparel/layer system. Here is #barbarian armor I ported from my #rimworld #mod

Otherwise I’ve been working mostly on framework stuff recently. It is going great, but doesn’t make for great pictures :p

Played a little bit with rimworld and wrote a glowy energy shader last evening.

I originally aimed to just make basic glow, but I feature creeped it a bit…

Might resuse it in my own hobby game too.

#rimworld #shader #modding #mods #gamedev #jotun #angel #giant #glow #divine #sfx #transformation

The feature is available on the steam workshop now. Will probably keep interrating on it though. :)

Got the mod feature deployed properly. :)

Better shaders, 3-colour stuff, ability to change the colour of stuff like specific genes (where supported), etc.

Was an interesting challenge to work on. ^_^

Making a little custom colour-customization system in my RimWorld mod.

Uses the shader I made before for nicer blending and extra colours. :)

#modding #mod #gamedev #rimworld #digitalart #android #lamia #centaur #jotun #robot

Here is how it looked before with Ludeon's own shader. In-between regions blended in the base (white) color, and were a bit crunchy or ".jpeg"-feeling.

Managed to figure out how to build rimworld shaders, and created a new shader with much better blending and support for full RGBA instead of just Red+Green.

The Ideology icon is unrelated to this change. Looks a bit meh up-close but I thought it was eat :)

YouTube video by RedMattis Drafted Auto-Combat - Showcase

Made a new RimWorld mod which lets you toggle a more reactive mode for drafted colonists, letting them use abilities and pursue foes.

Alligator (Dr. Gator) seated at simple research bench while his simpler brethren float by lazily outside.

Prevented the timeline where #RimWorld Odyssey released without alligators capable of performing pulse weapons research. With #mods.

An aligator seated at a simple research table conducting research while his simpler brethren lazily float in the swampy water outside.

They can’t?

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Alligators are of course perfectly capable of conducting pulse weapons research!

#rimworld

Oh hey, another developer making a persistent world simulation-kind of game. That's awesome! We need more games like this.

It has long disappointed me that no big open-world games actually dare commit to making a game world that isn't just a pile of pre-scripted and curated events

Best of luck! :)

Infinitely reusable aerial delivery system! :D

I usually craft tribalwear and make a 1 tile stockpile for it in the prison(s).

Warm enough and covers everything most pawns care about.

Bleh. Didn't get things working today. Past midnight. Should be asleep hours ago...

I think I'm 90% of the way to the AI searching the map for resources, extracting them, and going back with them.

Here have some random unreadable JSON! :'D

Hopefully I have something better to show next time. :)

Was busy being sick. Did mess a bit of tinkering with the shaders, renderings, scaling, json editing,...

I think the colors look a bit cleaner now, and the outline less gritty. Hope it is noticable.

More gameplay next! :)

More flash freeze than cold snap. :D

Started messing around with getting the NPC-AI to build bases and collection resources. Currently quite buggy, but it is progressing nicely :)

Currently working on spawning in AIs and getting them to build villages, etc.

I've been a bit quiet the last weekends because I got caught up rewriting questionable AI code I carried over from a Unity project from half a decade ago. ^_^;;

Not sure if my current approach is ideal either. We'll see.

Oh, and if you have enough characters they end up in formation instead

This is more than I think I would ever want to permit in group "squad", but it shows the general idea. :D

#mousegirl #mouseboy #nagas #catgirls #catboys #foxgirls #foxMEN #giants #giantess #jotuns #lamia #digitalart #anime #art

Some really nice buildings SirVan made for me (Thanks!).

Also I've made it so when you zoom in you will see the whole squad/army. When zoomed out you get represented by the most "visible" member.

Indeed. "[I liked back in the day when games weren't political]".

Meanwhile. FF7, 1997. Literally minutes into the game...

:'D

New fog-of-war effect (visible/seen/never-seen).

Intend to make super-dark area just be black or show the background. ...but that doesn't make for good screenshots. :p

Colours will probably need some tweaking though.
