Adventures in terrain generation from a heightmap using #godot. The two big issues I'm having are:
- Stitching chunk geometry to neighbors; need to work out some way to generate a border based on the LOD of the neighboring chunk.
- Averaging the normals so it stops looking like an evil quilt.

My match-4 one month project is feature complete! I wanted to add a story mode, network multiplayer, items, abilities, etc... but maybe I can do those in September. The rest of August is for character art and polish.
Very pleased to finish a project for once!

My Real Job has picked up. so progress on the August project has been slow. I've got Github/Itch build automation setup (with thanks to Apos on the Monogame Discord) and I've been polishing the background art a bit. Finding the dither brush in Krita saved my hands...

Redid most of the character states (still working on the failure state), added music, added sounds, and generally tweaked and adjusted things. Settings menu is also about halfway coded, since I need to build a UI framework as I go. Steady progress!

The problem with getting things to the point of being playable is that I keep going to test something and then spend 20 minutes playing it instead.
Lots of backend work done today to support things like menus, game modes, etc. Pleased with how it's coming together.

Repost due to busted video.
Four days in on my August project. It's great when things start feeling like an actual game.
Next up, an input handler to control what drops, rotate it, etc. Also need to clean up the board state to avoid weird visual issues across iterations.

Hit my Art Fight goal of 25 attacks. Not going to list all the characters, but they are all on my Art Fight page (artfight.net/~MistakeNot4...).
Very very happy to achieve my goal this year, I think it's my third or fourth shot at Art Fight and the first one to succeed.

Art Fight multiattack! God, it's finally done. Several days isn't a huge amount of time for a complex piece, but this is the most effort I've put into one for ages.
Full character list/details on the site, Bsky posts are so short: artfight.net/attack/11652...

Better example of the dithering effect in practice.

Tile lighting working at a basic level! Had issues with bake-in initially, but it's doing more or less what I want it to now. Next step is adding the dithered effect to the edges, and maybe animating the alpha to make it look smoother when moving. A shadow shader could be good...

Possibly a better example, also showing off the schematic-style fog of war which I think looks neato.

An example of dithered edge lighting from a previous project (which I am recycling into my current project, hence the shared assets). I think it could probably use a couple more variations (one darker and one in the middle somewhere) but I like the texture it gives the terrain.

As mentioned in my other post, I'm doing Art Fight this year. Specifically trying to work on my pixel chops, so my attacks are 64x64 pixel art with DawnBringer's 32-color palette. Attached is tonight's attack.

Not dead, but dev time has been limited. I'm doing Art FIght this year too which cuts into free time. Currently fixing rendering issues (which was a one-line fix that took three weeks to solve) and resolving mouse position to world position, so I can add tile/entity interactions.
