WISHLIST FOGHORNS DROWN / Studio Laaya

I mainly source textures from texture.ninja, edit them with Gimp, and dither with slk_img2pixel.

There's some more details on the trees in this post:
bsky.app/profile/stud...

uhh the new trees broke the wind shader

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #ps1 #lowpoly

I made the textures by building a 3D branch from a transparent pine needle image, and rendered it from a top down view, then downscaled and dithered it.

The scene is just dark ambient light + fog. The tree branches need to have nice silhouette, so I fiddle around with their placement until it looks interesting, and I tried to break up the edges of the textures to make them look as detailed as possible.

the trees have grown

We are pleased to announce our next game, Foghorns Drown!

Play the demo here:
studio-laaya.itch.io/foghorns-drown

the foghorns are loud, but the village somehow feels more quiet now...

and finally put it on a flat plane as a transparent texture!

render it, make color adjustments, and finally downscale with dithering in SLK_img2pixel

this is how a pixelated chain texture is born:

model and arrange links in a repeating pattern in blender with simple procedural materials

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

a little something to take the edge off

i wonder what this traveller wants?

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

sometimes i have to add a big floor to keep the skybox from bleeding through tiny gaps in the level

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

the big house where the townsfolk usually gather

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

sometimes a sour rain pierces the fog

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

just imagine the chruch isn't a blank white box

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

this fancy new grass system of ours can even handle huge fields no problem

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

our custom multimesh scattering solution will revolutionize grass

do people appreciate windy trees in bluesky? #gamedev
