Christer Kaitila [GameDev]

doing the classic #gamedev trick of inverted normals for a volumetric light beam effect, ie. the tube only has an inside not an outside

As I was growing up, I thought I wanted to be many things:

An inventor
A magician
An artist
A musician
An animator
A writer

Turns out, I didn't have to pick! I could be ALL of it. Gamedev is every bit of my dreams and so much more. I love this career!

they're not all great GAMES but I had a great time making every one of them: it's such a cliche but it's the people that really matter when you look back

the eureka moments shared with a compatriot as we struggle through the process, those little celebrations together along the way

I love my life!!! being a #gamedev is my personal childhood dream come true.

kid me would be THRILLED to meet old me!

hey little buddy. guess what.
you get to live the dream. it literally happens

help! I may be addicted to game jamming

here's how I made the ring shaped sprite: started with stars and used photoshop PINCH then made the edges transparent

made a wormhole lightspeed effect in js today. =)

I photoshopped a star picture into a ring-shaped transparent sprite, then in code draw eight copies at different scales based on the current time. whole thing is 25 lines of code yay

promotional image showing a cast of monsters and humans standing on a staircase in front of an imposing concrete structure. the text reads: "Quake Brutalist Jam III. Oct 19 - Nov 16"

I'm proud to announce the start of the Quake Brutalist Jam 3, featuring a custom near total conversion mod

I love adding critters to game worlds using a simple particle system so you can draw as many as you want with almost zero performance cost. Here are some fish that orient to a random velocity with noise; one draw call for all, no code, just a bunch of "sparks" really

personally? finding an excuse to add more particles

it is such a joy to be able to work on an effect inspired by "the" classic win98 solitaire gameover screen!!

might iterate next week and make them leave trails by not clearing the background like in the oldschool original

I love #godot multiMeshInstance3d which can spawn 150k grass meshes on my terrain and since it uses gpu instancing and only one node3d in the scene it's still 60fps+

Navy blue background. At the top, and black and white image of Playstation controllers, a computer keyboard, and a computer mouse. In the foreground of that image, text reads "Indie Allies for Impact." The logos for Take This, the IGDA Foundation, and itch.io are also present. Below, text in a slightly darker blue box reads "Indie game developers! Take This and the IGDA Foundation are teaming up for an itch.io charity bundle, and we want you to be a part of it! More information and submit your games at tiny URL dot com slash i a i bundle
