here's how I made the ring shaped sprite: started with stars and used photoshop PINCH then made the edges transparent

made a wormhole lightspeed effect in js today. =)

I photoshopped a star picture into a ring-shaped transparent sprite, then in code draw eight copies at different scales based on the current time. whole thing is 25 lines of code yay

had some fun today working on a classic "speed lines" particle effect for when you boost

I love adding critters to game worlds using a simple particle system so you can draw as many as you want with almost zero performance cost. Here are some fish that orient to a random velocity with noise; one draw call for all, no code, just a bunch of "sparks" really

it is such a joy to be able to work on an effect inspired by "the" classic win98 solitaire gameover screen!!

might iterate next week and make them leave trails by not clearing the background like in the oldschool original

I love #godot multiMeshInstance3d which can spawn 150k grass meshes on my terrain and since it uses gpu instancing and only one node3d in the scene it's still 60fps+

just joined a cool new #gamedev project at devpods.gg - A SOLITAIRE GAME!!! we're coding it in #typescript using #phaser - I can't wait to show it to you all in december

#screenshotsaturday currently making an RPG in #godot at devpods.gg with some cool folks. graphic novel style, I'm drawing the textures on paper with markers and watercolour paint just for fun

I've contributed to over 100 different game projects on github so far! github.com/McFunkypants

so many happy memories! (and a few painful ones too lol)
#gamedev

today's #gamedev fun included adding "slash" lines to this html5 game - slowly the combat is getting juicier✨

today's #gamedev fun included starting work on a space level for an on-rails flying game featuring a witch on a broomstick. (black magic lets you breathe in space of course)

work in progress with a lot more detail and gameplay to come (speed boosts, hazards like spinning lasers to dodge etc)

today's #gamedev fun: hand-drawing a long flag, then coding a shader that wiggles mesh verts using a noise texture, scaled by how far right the vert UVs are (so it doesn't move on the flagpole side).

making shaders in #godot is nice because the preview window updates as you code! love it

today's #gamedev fun: working on a random solar system generator for a strategy game we're making!

#gamedev homebrew sound effect creation secrets!

(today I created a melee combat sound library, various hit clangs/clashes and miss/arrow wooshes, and OOF chest punch hit sounds)

did the code/art/sound for this interaction ALL IN ONE DEV SESSION!

treasure chest sprite that opens if you click it, plays a sound, spawns random pickups, plus the code for coin entities too

love it when you get a spike of ultra #gamedev productivity!!!!!!!!!!
