Hi everyone,
I'm Dave, I like to talk and make games, films, books, I do media studies and I like distorted guitars.
I enjoy manga and anime, at least the better series. I like coffee, matcha, tea and blueberries.
My video essays (mostly on gaming):

I really started watching Pewdiepie when I saw him using a Deafheaven Sunbather desktop background. (while he happened to live in the same town I went to Uni at) At some point he revealed that he reads Murakami and his favorite manga is Blame!
Now he switched to Linux...
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

For the first time I kinda think I'm getting OK with trees. The bark is still simple, but I don't think I need much more detail for the game I make. At least it is not a prio atm.

Procrastination:
I have "get art" on the top of my todo list for ages. Still I end up doing 15000 other things. Added Godrays, waterfall bubbles, fixed performance issues, added sound sources and rewrote my player controller.
I need better focus...

If you feel like listening to someone chatter about what it means to own a game - which is obviously the best background noise for whatever you do on such a lovely Sunday:
I just uploaded a video on YouTube, that might be just what you were looking for!

Does anyone have an idea how #tunic made those light effects in their forest maps? (See image)
I don't think it's actual light, but rather a shader with a noise texture, but his do you get it over all the meshes at once? Would love to do sthg similar in Godot but not sure how to start...

The more I get into shaders the more I appreciate how much you can actually do just using Godot's Standard Material.
There are many cases where custom shaders make sense, but there are also so many cases where you really don't need to.
