Adding some pretty foliage to Cookie Gardening. Are there lore implications to adding flowers to a world of sentient vegetables? Yes, of course #gamedev

One more cosmic-ish multiscatter render with scattering coefficients being kinda inverse of those seen in Earth's atmosphere (red scatters a lot, green scatters somewhat, blue scatters a bit)

He almost never uses his little front legs, unless he's going really fast

The dragon will retrieve any goblins who accidentally fall into the cave. They are very gentle.

Merrily hopping along until things get slightly too difficult, then immediately giving up

Alternating between walking and running (terrible at both)

Would you stay here a while?

This is Alpine Lake. An innkeeper RPG. Build an inn Care for your guests Make a difference If you’re searching for next fest games, consider trying Alpine Lake. PS after 6 years of dev I still love working on it every day. I’m proud of what I’ve made regardless of the outcome

I don't have the concept of "running" right now, only "faster walking." This is probably why animals in real life do running instead of extremely fast walk

Determined wormin'

Improvised a little lampshade shader that imitates scattered light from inside. Code and details in the comments! :) #gamedev

Trying to get this very normal-shaped guy to walk in a more normal way

Absolutely swooning over this underwater ghost puppet by Myranda Hulka. So Ethereal.

"Woven" f2 c, p=C.xy/R.y*9 @(9) p*=m2(6,-8,8,6)/7, p+=sin(p.yx+T)/2, c+=fwd(p)*R.y/3e3 O+=dot(c,c);

Ears wiggle intermittently and face toward whatever an animal is paying attention to. These flowers are actually made of ears, which is how this gumdrop is able to listen to you

A tiny head? on HIS mandible?? (It's more likely than you think) Free PC check

This guy has a tiny head on his mandible

I'm working on lakes for my procedural landscape. So far the terrain just continues down under the water with trees, grass and all. But just having the ground and water surface generated such that the water edge is never above-ground was a hard-won achievement. 😅 #ProcGen #GameDev #IndieDev

I got bored of the classic orthographically-projected-normal-particles-on-water-surface approach and started looking into more "realistic" approaches 👀 This is just a test with gizmos, once I get that set up with shaders and render passes I promise I won't be neither chill nor normal about it

I’ve been seeing Cat’s updates on this for a while and it looks SO cool

This animal's foot-heads sort of make it look like it's wearing bunny slippers

Dragging this pink alien deer into a hole in the ground (it doesn't want to go)

I had voxels in for a while early in development, but then decided to shelve them for the time being. I'm re-adding them now and they're just a lot of fun! Excited to see how I can get animals to interact with voxel-based terrain down the line

Giant ground squirrel

IDK if it works for yinz, but when I was experimenting with anime outlines, I used an SDF for the inner line-work (generated from hand-draw inks with hacky c-program I wrote), whose threshold is modulated by depth.

I am partway to Velociraptors

These animals remind me of maple tree seeds; something about the way their heads spin, I think

god, 0.002 seconds before making velociraptors:

I think I will make Velociraptors

more planet generation for #pico1k #pico8

Pink bipedal wobblemouse

I think the animals that are sort of recognizably mammals under several layers of uncanny, impossible legs are actually worse than totally incomprehensible animals

Little turtle just doing its best

Evolution in my simplified model of an ecosystem tends to defy my assumptions about what animals should look like. For example, perception at the moment does not account for binocular vision, eye size, or even which direction the eyes are looking, so animals rarely end up with two eyes on their head

One challenging thing about letting organisms evolve over generations is that this is a legal way to move, and has outcompeted every other animal in the simulation

Zooming in does not make these animals more comprehensible

Yet another exciting worm

Wiggly shrub boy

The Blood-Eyed Rabbithawk

Made an even worse animal

Finally! The IKEA/Skyrim/Matt Berry collaboration everyone has been asking for

Excited to check "even more unsettling animals" off the to-do list

I feel like the main struggle developers have when trying to write marketing copy is that they are describing the game they made instead of the player's experience of it
