Firefly in the Dusk🌙

For a moment I thought the ball would hit the yoga guys XD

Is there too much noise if you highlight the good parts instead of the bad ones?

Ask yourself if the reason you mentioned is relevant to the player or will even be considered that way by them. That way you don't risk picking things that make sense to you as a developer only. My vote goes to counting up. Players play to win, they want to see how close they got to winning.

Biblically accurate mouse

Random idea but maybe also try shifting the forgery a bit to the right, left, up, down while scoring and see if by doing so the score doesn't increase, and pick the position with the highest score. I am not sure if this would work in general tho :( in any case, it all looks great! looking forward 👀

I see, if the player is told that's the evaluation criteria (and it looks like they are), it's all good 👍 I was wondering because in the Vermeer video some early forgeries seemed to be more accurate to me than later ones because "they had more of the important parts" even if in the wrong positions.

Nice! Btw, do you use a pixel-based check for accuracy or something more sophisticated?

Each time you post forgeries ordered by accuracy I kinda expect them to start way off and then converge to something resembling the original work, but it always feels like they cycle through various levels of accuracy (more random than ordered) 🤔

TVs no longer show a basic effect when on and instead they can tune in to channels, and the Ads Channel will loop this ultra epic ad I made for the ultra epic placeholder paper bag. This uses the UI system, much like the mobile phone I posted a while back #enginedev #gamedev #indiedev

You can have more than one thread available in a browser context?

Do you have a YT account also? Seeing these awesome vids at a higher quality would be awesome.

I've added waypoint networks to #DuskEngine, with navmeshes soon to follow. In the meantime, Rina makes full use of the new feature to enter her home and do some more stuff in it — NPC routines go hand in hand with waypoint networks #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

this is so nice

Some cool new features have been added to #DuskEngine UI - most important being that scripts can now create as many separate UI instances as they want and have them be rendered to textures. Which means interactive in-game mobile phones #gamedev #enginedev #indiedev

This looks really cool!

I've added new features to #DuskEngine UI system these past days, most important being that it's now possible to add opacity and scale modifiers to entire branches i.e. have elements fade in and out and animate their scale in scripts #gamedev #enginedev #indiedev

Congrats!

thank mr skeltal

Light leak fixed!

bsky compression killed the video, here's a yt mirror: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlbx...

The shadow situation in #DuskEngine is slowly improving, here is what the newly added CSM looks like so far #gamedev #enginedev #indiedev

We have cats now on the island. #ashortodyssey #gamedev #indiegamedev

DuskEngine can now render transparent materials (such as these windows) with OIT #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

I modeled a TV and made it interactable (sorry about the light leaking into the room, I've yet to fix that) #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev

A dense jungle

Been working on this jungle for a while, hopefully I got it dense enough, it was a challenge to keep everything over 120fps on my modest graphics card (2060 super). But with alot of modelling rework I managed.

To help test stuff more quickly: live shader reload #enginedev #gamedev #indiedev

shader hot-reloading in #vulkan
was easier than i expected hehe

Nice, need to get me one of those too :)

I've added a first implementation of SSAO to DuskEngine🎉To get some performance in games back in the day I was willing to turn down any setting except for AO, even though it would have probably made a big difference. AO is too important. #gamedev #indiedev #enginedev
