Updating my store assets 1ยฝ hour before #Steamnextfest went live, was totally the right decision. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ˜˜

Why make a menu 2D when it can be 3D!

I really need to get back to this

Didn't work on A:I but have worked on projects /w similar workflows

Oversimplification, but they mostly use realtime lights, reflection probes and light textures. As the probe's area is limited, the cost was manageable. Using actual light sources is key. Used a custom engine with all this in mind.

This game by @bering.bsky.social is having trouble finding it's audience (I reckon it will closer to Xmas) and I think it looks really well made?

Can we help an indie out and get it infront of the right people?
Which streamers and indie game fans might like this?

I wonder if I should've called my game
"Christmas Simulator" instead of "Fantastic Findings" ๐Ÿคฃ

Game dev without using the profiler or understanding basic optimization is seemingly rampant. Please- for the love of god- take this seriously. Don't leave it until the end ๐Ÿ™

Finding clever ways to optimize is actually a ton of fun if made part of the process.
