Just check if it's selected in OnDrawGizmos()

Gizmos.color = (Selection.activeTransform == transform) ? Color.green : Colour.white;

Hi these weren't shipping to the US for a while, but now they are again! You might not know it yet but this rat is your new favourite cartoon character. When I finish my rat cartoon you will say "wow I love this rat, I'm glad I had purchased Ratโ„ข merchandise from wombot.studio/shop before seeing it"

What are your favourite implementations of console game virtual cursors?

...do you think they can ever feel elegant and intuitive?

Its a pretty simple and straightforward decision to avoid actively degrading the creative process by using genAI.

Amazing stuff!

Quick implementation question - did you swap them out with meshes after morphing or was it performant enough to always render the sdfs?

Hello bluesky, we're Intarsia Interactive!

We're a video game studio based in Naarm/Melbourne. We reckon making games should be fun, weird & authentic.

This year we've been working on a secret project (!!! you'll hear more soon) and now we're working on something strange & new

I'm holding out on adding Noibs to steam until we have an announce trailer which kinda sucks when people ask for the steam page...

Turns out you can just follow @oddlark.com on there instead and you'll get a notification when we press the button!
