Made some progress on the water simulation for my relaxing sandbox game 🌳🏡Island Architect🏡🌳 I added some proper shading finally, and performance is much better, with a priority system for what to update each frame. In the video you can see how it reacts to terrain edits.

Started working on the dynamic water simulation for my relaxing building game today. Obviously quite a lot of work left, but it’s already working with overhangs and everything. Looking forward to making waterfalls more than just lines and making it possible to build aqueducts!

Working the water simulation for 🌳🏡Island Architect🏡🌳, my relaxing sandbox building game. The interaction between the water and simulation is starting to work well, allowing you to build dams and aqueducts!

I’ve added to ability to choose colors for buildings in my upcoming cozy building game, Island Architect. You also get railings now when building terraces or balconies.

Working on the dynamic water system for my cozy building game Island Architect! Think about where water should come from. Should it rain every now and then or should you directly place water sources? More thoughts in 🧵

Got a first version of waterfalls working! Really fun to see the water react and new little ponds and waterfalls form as you edit the terrain. Next I’ll look at some better shading, VFX and solving lots and lots and lots of edge cases.

My cozy town building game now has flowers and some simple bushes. I also updated the lighting of the grass to be a bit softer. Feels much more alive now!

I reworked the camera to work better with all the verticality the game’s building tools creates. Really fun flying through rock arches and up cliffs now!

Made some more progress on the realtime lighting for my cozy town building game. This is a first test with screen space occlusion combined low frequency occlusion. Promising, but a whole bunch of things left to fix!

Just got a first version of trees and bushes working in my cosy town building game! It really helps to show the feeling I want the game to have. The plants will still be stylized later on, but not quite as minimalistic as this first version. #screenshotsaturday

I made a big visual update to the cozy town building game I am working on. I've added back the directional light and added some more textures and a super early version of grass. Certainly makes a difference!

Here's a quick peek at the new lighting in Island Architect! Feels really nice to see the lighting react as you build houses, edit the terrain or watch time pass. The new solution has bounced lighting and reflections, all without relying on ray tracing hardware.

Working on roof generation for my little city building game. The idea is that based on how you build your buildings, roofs are automatically formed where it makes sense. The roof generation logic is working fairly well, but lots to do to generate a better looking mesh!

Been fixing lots of little edge cases in the roof generation for my cozy town building game Island Architect. Really pleased with all the variety that is possible with some simple interactions!

It's finally time to announce my game: Island Architect! Sculpt seaside towns in Island Architect, a relaxing builder inspired by coastal Europe. Build winding streets, whimsical towers, or calm fishing villages in this cozy experience. Wishlist now on steam!

Just got a first version of roof tile generation working for my cozy town building game! Were lots of details to solve to make it work with all the irregular roof shapes in the game! Next step is to make the tiles more detailed. Right now they are simply drawn as cylinders.

Made some more progress on my cozy little game and implemented a first version of temporal anti-aliasing. Here's a video, although maybe not that visible in compressed videos.

Working on roof tiles for my cozy town building game. Really happy about how the tiles adapt to roof shape and the detail it adds. Next I’ll look at creating some color variation and fix some remaining issues and details. #screenshotsaturday

The grid in my cozy town building game now adapts as you are building to align with existing buildings. Makes it a lot easier to build larger buildings. It also adapts to the terrain and you still get slightly curved buildings. Also only showing the grid where the mouse is now.
