I built a free project scoping, task management and bug tracking tool for studios of all sizes. Plan milestones, divide work, track progress in a super fast, intuitive tool. "100x better than Jira" -Jussi Kemppainen "I like it WAY more than Trello" -Kemppainen Jussi 🔗 in the 🧵

More footage from my own game engine's bundled demo game in progress. Lately I have been going trough the actions and verbs and adding animations to everything. #indiegamedev #adventuregame #Pixelart

I am opening my point and click engine for beta testing. Apply for the test at clickworks.jkemppainen.com #adventuregame #indiegamedev

I am building a pixel art point and click game engine that includes everything from scripting to asset creation to animation (2d and 3d) and particle effects. a complete suite of tools for making the best kind of games: pixel art point and click! Clickworks. Opening for testing soon! #adventuregame

The engine has real-time lighting and shadows; 3D scenes (with option to go from flat 2d parallax to as complex 3D as you want); node based scripting language and Lua support, pixel animation tools, node graph based particles (with realtime lighting and scene reactions) and more!

Overt the summer holiday I built a photo emulation software for high-end photo emulation on iOS and Mac OS, can be used directly in Photos in image edit mode. Super quick, easy! All feedback welcome! You can download the app for iOS and Mac OS in the following link testflight.apple.com/join/2zP3PKz5

day 608: ! built a fake real-time GI system for my game and it cost almost nothing to run! The warm sunset light wrapping under the car is not baked, not a probe volume, not a reflection capture. here is how it works 🧵 #buildinpublic #indiegamedev #unity3d

GI probes being recalculated in realtime to match shifting light scenarios. The probes could update every frame for ultra smooth look, but the game hardly needs that and I want this to run on the steam deck without issues!

I am very happy that my "weird" idea for realtime GI capture worked! It is a subtle effect but adds so much to the grounding of the vehicles!

the shadow raycast and GI analyze only fires when a probe is dirty. once settled, zero cost. probes don't need to rebake at all. total per-frame cost at steady state: one bilinear lookup per vehicle.

ground bounce is: sun color * temperature * sun angle * sand albedo * bounce scale * shadow contribution. the sand color comes from the world manager. so the bounce color automatically tracks the terrain you are driving on

vehicles in this game get hijacked mid-battle and thrown across five different biomes. each one has a different sun angle, sand color, and sky. baked GI is useless here: the world is fully procedural and randomized.

Still at it! Making the vehicular combat game of my dreams! Explosions! Twisted metal! Machine guns! Please enjoy the latest dev montage!
