Working on some isometric procedural generation.

This is a large map (100x100) with 64px x 48px tiles.

I start with Perlin Noise based placement.
Then I highlight separate regions.
Then a couple Cellular Automata passes.
Then culling small regions.
Then connecting final regions

It's been a hot minute since I've posted.

I've developed a card library for ExcaliburJS.
And I'm now using it to make a bare bones draw poker demo.

Thanks to @kenney.nl for the card assets for prototyping my library!

NEW SERIES! I saw a bunch of requests on the Godot feed for visual novel tutorials, so I made one. They’re a fun project, I hope this gets you started. We’ll be using Dialogic to help with the code: youtu.be/NUkcomMIHMs?... #godot #gamedev #indiedev

today's theme is : emoji

the palette started at 16x16 pixels, but quickly grew from there, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out

Just made a small game while learning C++.

I made this game using the Pakt publishing book Beginning C++ Game Programming by John Horton.

After using C++, I quickly remade it in TypeScript using ExcaliburJS, and pushed it to Itch.
