Still working on the blog that breaks it down but thought Iโ€™d release the shaders in the shape I have them so far. github.com/siosphere/go...

Iโ€™m planning on writing up a blog post on it! Iโ€™ll also release the shaders for free for anyone to look at.

Been working on #Houdini / #godotengine integrations. The Houdini Engine integration is supporting marshalling geo in/out and most params.

Here I got VATs working for rigid body, soft body, and fluids.

Terrain scattering in Godot Engine.
Started on my custom terrain streaming system, chunks the world into cells, and can dynamically load as the player traverses. Additionally points are baked per cell and async load in nodes/scenes/instances. #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine

Decided to move from Unreal to Godot, starting to get pieces together. (Bad Idle animation makes her sink, but Iโ€™ve fixed that already)

I think I spent more time writing my code generation tool, then Iโ€™ll save by having it generate my serialization logicโ€ฆ

Decided to take a break from working on my Unreal game to make an engine and game for my #playdate

Really enjoying it, and also glad playdate-cpp exists.

Seriously consider switching to Arc, itโ€™s automatic tab cleanup is the best feature ever.

How do other #indiedev split their time between story development, modeling, animation, and programming? I have so much to do, and so little time

At least 3 or 4 times a day I think to myself, should I just re-do my project in Godot instead of Unreal?
