I really love Tove Jannson's version of Gollum. Apparently, Tolkien realized that he never specified Gollum's size after seeing it, and corrected it in a second edition.

pretty happy with how versatile the particle system in my engine ended up being. i am using it for all background and foreground effects in Star Scum. here's a quick video cycling through some of the effects in the editor.

Just released a game I've been noodling on for the past couple of years into Early Access on Steam!
If you like deckbuilders and turn-based tactics, it might just be your cup of tea!

has anyone successfully rendered Arabic using stb_truetype? i got it pretty close with ICU shaping, but there are some gaps around Lam, Waw and Ya that i can't figure out. It doesn't seem to be a shaping issue and the glyphs should theoretically connect.

the refractions use the same stochastic raymarching method as the reflections

made this parametric single line font system and editor a couple of years ago inspired by Hershey fonts and LCD displays where each character is defined by a 64-bit mask. keep meaning to turn it into a little graphics library for easy to use unicode type rendering.
