i'm so proud of this space. the rest of the open world areas are all full color and bright... then the Post Processing effect for this area suddenly makes it all dark and night-like. turned out perfectly!
looking up at a building standing at the top of a hill. the building has oddly placed and oddly sized windows. some of the windows are open. there are trees surrounding the building. a gentle fog floats over the area. looking at some houses, in the window of the most distant one is the shape of a person. the window light is on, casting a dark shadow. there are trees surrounding the area, and blades of grass doting the ground. two houses occluded by fog are visible behind a small hill. blades of grass dot the ground with rocks at the base of the hill. there are dark trees surrounding the area.

i put together a long hopefully helpful curation of alternative game engines. there are so many, some deserve a lot more attention, all with their own strengths and benefits.
"The Generous Space of Alternative Game Engines (A Curation)"
keep fighting the good fight!

The ongoing tech grift has been astonishingly good at causing shady individuals to self-report. You can just search AI, NFT, or Crypto in post histories to find out if you can trust them or not

the accumulation of all my dither post processing effect work... this is how the poem at the top of the mountain will be presented. as you walk around you get little pieces of narration.
it worked out perfect. changing how the person sees the world makes the words more impactful. #GameDev
A dithered black and white image of the top of a mountain. There is a poem window at the bottom middle saying "At the top of the mountain they bury their gods here..." A reduced 10 color image of the top of a mountain. The colors are beautiful and twisty and it's highly stylized. A black and white dithery low fi image of the top of a mountain, staring at a sunset. There are giant bones all around. The poem window reads: "A graveyard filled with extravagant bones... Pieces scattered in wild disarray, vague fantasies of what was. Even the mighty are forgotten." A reduced color low fi image of the top of a mountain staring at a yellow and red sunset.
