some cross hatching shading experiments (plus outlines) in #unrealengine .
works ok for stills but becomes increasingly "too much" for longer gameplay sessions

spent a few days on tweaking the art style for my upcoming game, I feel it's way more clean and chill now—or what do u think?

tried building an 80ies-inspired post-processing today in @unrealengine.bsky.social , looks fun so far 🤓

spend the day working on (more or less) okayish cel shading in #UnrealEngine , looks promising.

🎲 Dice Diaries #2 – Scary Scribbling

- we've put together a slightly more complicated level, including new obstacles: heights and water
- under the hood: dice spells scale now with dots on each side
- next up: bouncy walls for damage/XP multiplier combos

🎲 Dice Diaries #1 – Bowling and Bananas

+ more chaos when you finally hit something (good.)
+ enemies got dumber and decided to walk on lanes instead of using “cover-seeking AI” (good?)

woop, steam page is live 🥰

still a long way to go, but might be worth a look if you're into a roguelite dice game with a twist.

Nice Dice: Game of Throws on Steam
Some roll the dice. Not you, though. You turn them into weapons. Throw your dice into enemies' faces, knock them around, and conjure powerful spells from the face-up side. Upgrade your dice with magic...

PNG transparency: here's one of multiple ways to prevent those border pixel artefacts. In your AI export settings change the default AA method (Hinted) to Supersampling. Here's a comparison.

Good games tell stories you remember for a long time.

Great games let you write stories you'll never forget.

Seems that bosses are now in each raid again, waiting to spice up your late-wipe adventures. Yes, also in PvE. #escapefromtarkov

cat's wisdom of the day, #unrealengine edition:
renaming a core component is like playing Jenga.

So don't be like me and save all open files beforehand 🥲

Matchmaking experience in #tarkov has definitely improved by a lot with the new QoL features.

Suggestion: maybe one could have a brief countdown after a match has been found, and before one gets "thrown out" of stash/flea/whatever. Just so one could finish/gracefully exit the current interaction.

the beauty of words ☺️
Personally I am of the opinion that video games rot your brain. However, so does everything else. In fact, everything else is worse. Video games actually are the slowest means towards your inevitable and total brain rot.
