Put these all together and we maintained or improved on the rendering quality compared to our previous Electric Dreams demo (last image), except that was 30hz on a RTX 4090 and this was 60hz on a base PS5.

I'm recreating one of my very first game asset packs released back in 2012! The Platformer Pack will have a new style, however the old legacy one will also remain available - both for free, of course! ✨

I honestly believe AbleToPlay is one of the most exciting things to be built in the accessibility space, and I have been grateful to see it grow over many months. It's amazing how well it works, and how obvious it is in hindsight that this should exist.

Working on lighting for my cozy town building game. Here is an experiment to see how far screen space lighting can be taken.
Happy with how well it works already, but will be a lot more stable when combined with some low res but more accurate radiance/visibility information.
