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!

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.

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 🧵

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.

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!

Got a first test of real-time large scale ambient occlusion working in my cozy town building game. Still lots to do, but happy with the first results!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 lighting for my cozy town building game. Here is a test 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.

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
