Cellular automata is for making storm/fluid sims but that sadly doesn't really sound like a storm. Using the word "flocking" would be pretty cool though!
Pretty sweet horror themed dream last night. If you clapped your hands in my living room the echo made it down an air duct that was connected to the basement. The giant horrifying squid monster in the basement would slosh around in the water and make angry noises if you made too much noise.

Bug hunting on steam deck. I gotta do some tweaks to help the 40fps part, the new outline shader and see through walls thing hurt the overall rendering but I got some easy wins to do there. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

I love how one of the best things people mention about the new Steam Frame VR headset is that it isn't owned by an evil corporation.

In all seriousness, I decided to become a game writer because I played a game with terrible writing and thought, "I could at least write this badly."
