Officially announcing my new game:

GARBAGE COUNTRY.

A lonely road trip through the ruins of a forgotten world.

feat. vast wastelands, tower-defense battles, upgrades, mysteries, & lots of driving.

I've been saying for nearly a year now that the current trend in indie publishers becoming hyper risk-averse will rapidly make them obsolete and project funding without publishing services is the reason why ๐Ÿงต

Who needs Unity's timeline when you can just bake the characters poses to align your VFX ๐Ÿ˜…

Looks so good ! Def checking out the demo (and wishlisting!)

if you prefer using a palette, i can suggest using Acrylic Retarder Additive. Better than water, you get the same feeling as with oil painting but with more control on the drying

12.12.2024 15:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

up to 2 or 3 brushes i'd say. But mostly one color at a time and/or never 2 wet coats next to each other, so that i don't mix / smudge my tones. But that's personal pref ! I usually paint with flat colors first and finish with variations if needed

this is my go-to brush for murals. It gets 90% of the job done all my himself

woops, meant "Use a soft pencil on the wall"

pro-tip : at the end of each day, add a spoon of water in each paint cup, cover with plastic wrap for the night. The day after, pour careful the surplus of water and voila, fresh paint that never dries, day after day.

12.12.2024 13:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Use a soft pencil on the pencil. Start with lighter values and finish with the black/darker edges. That should prevent too many back and forth.
Generally, i use regular latex wall paint. You can easily mix colors and dilute with water in small cups if needed

12.12.2024 13:54 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

don't use a marker. They're a pain to cover up with wall paint (been there..). For wall painting, i usually make a homethetic sketch for each wall, add a grid on it and repro that grid at scale on the wall. Easier to retain your shapes and proportions.

Oooh, like in @noio.games' Garbage Country ? We went with render texture on our game since we wanted proper plane fade around corners. And disance field was out of our league ๐Ÿ˜…
