At first, I thought I could just rotate the hue of HSL colors and call it a day. Since then, I've learned about perceptual color spaces, OKLCH, Bezold-Brücke effect and I still can't always get good programmatic palettes 😅
But I built Color Palette Pro to help get us halfway there: colorpalette.pro

1) Start with a black fish and an orange fish. Their children will mostly look like them, but mutations (random other colors) can also happen.

So excited to develop breeding mechanics for my desktop pet fish game "itsy bitsy fishy"!! Baby fish will usually look like their parents but have a chance to randomly get other colors <3 I love breeding in pet games so it's always been a dream to have it in my own games too. mellowminx.com

Coming soon: an itsy bitsy fishy that lives on your desktop! It doesn't do anything aside from eat and look cute. 🐠🫧 Want to try it already? (Windows/Mac/Linux demo) DM me.
P.S. I'm also working on a youtube tutorial to make this game on Godot!

I'm so grateful for every single one of you. Especially moved by those who gave a tip. Means a lot to me as a solo gamedev. 🥹💕 My plan is to keep expanding the game and very slowly raise the price along the way, but all buyers still get updates, so early supporters get the most value out of my game.

As our work attests, tech cos like OpenAI are setting us on a path to a future that disenfranchises the public, renders systems more obscure to those it affects, devalues our crafts, undermines our security, and narrows our horizon for innovation. This is true whether or not the tech even works well

I downloaded this so fast! I reported a bug in the Godot github for the first time a few weeks ago, and the fix is out in this version. As a novice coder I know I can't contribute anything to the Godot codebase, but I'm so happy I got to help out a little bit as a bug tester <3 @godotengine.org
Time for #godotengine 4.5 beta 2!
Even though we’re now in feature freeze, you might recall us mentioning a handful of pre-approved exceptions. One of them being SDL3 input made it in! 🕹️ 🎮
Help us test this release 👇
