I teach C++ & computer graphics and make games. Working on a village building game: https://t.co/skTGGgH0Ay Check out my cozy traffic sim: https://t.co/7Dzc83p6uq He/him

I like how the clouds look in my game, but they severely obstruct the ground view when looking from above the clouds 😓 Adding a "show/hide clouds" UI button seems like a very crude solution. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Another fun system. Love those little guys escaping the core only to immediately disintegrate

$Sooooo, we finished it: Color Fractory, our submission to #gmtkjam #gmtk2024 jam, is a colorful fractal factory management game. Build conveyor belts to move resources, carefully plan out large production pipelines, and see if you can beat the final level! Link below 👇$

It's been about a month since I touched the game. With projects that huge, sometimes you really need some time off 😅 Anyway, I've finished propagating simulated water chunk updates to higher LODs, meaning the basic water system is more or less finished! #indiedev #gamedev

Ah, all the artifacts were fixed by replacing one '<' with '<=', duh. It all works now, particle life completely on WebGPU! There are 2^18 (~260k) particles here; my PC struggles after about half a million particles. Will probably try to optimize it a bit later.

Improved my precipitation algorithm - now it doesn't always rain, but only when water vapour content is above threshold - which means I can visualize clouds! Honestly I didn't expect it to look THAT realistic 🤩 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

I finished it! Here's the Particle Simulator version 1.0.0: It has a built-in manual and a bunch of presets to help you get started. The code is completely open, the link to it is on the project page.

Found this project from 2018. Sort of a voxel editor with a strategy-like top-down camera. Post-processing outlines, some darkening in corners & brightening on edges. It even features some sort of a sky ligting system! Funnily enough the repo is called secret-project, lol

So I've finished a huge refactoring and everything works exactly as it did before and everything looks completely normal #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

For optimization, I don't want to simulate water in a steady state (e.g. this lake), but a flat water surface is boring. So I made the vertex shader add random periodic offsets based on vertex pos hash and it seems to do the trick 🥰 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

My first ever Steam game - Costa Verde Transport Department, a cozy traffic simulator - is OUT ON STEAM RIGHT NOW! (👇 link below 👇) Thanks to everyone for the enormous support. Many things went wrong during the development process, but at least I learnt a lot and managed to release a game :) #indiedev #steam

What a lovely little village! Would be a shame if it was just 0.02% the size of the world, right? 😅 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

WATER SIMULATION IS WORKING!!! It's extremely non-optimized, and there are still some glitches, and of course the rendering is very temporary, but IT'S WORKING! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

First update of my online webgpu particle life simulator: the number of particle types is now also randomized each time (from 2 to 16), leading to greater variety!

Another quite intriguing rule set. This cell almost looks like it has a nucleus

An alternative water visual style: just a flat-shaded triangle mesh, but keeping the fresnel reflections and underwater fog! What do you think? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

I'm back from vacation (and food poisoning...), so my tree impostor adventures continue. Now precomputing & rendering tight octagonal impostor bounds (instead of full-bbox quad), which saves another ~0.7ms per frame in the scene with ~30k trees! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

A new (and probably last) version of my in-browser particle life simulator with some highly-requested features: ✅ Toroidal (aka looping) map ✅ Copying URL to share your simulation with others ✅ Various UI improvements

Really in awe of the stability of this simulator. I left this one overnight and it's still fine, minding its own business

Spawning 100000 shovels for no reason (I'm glad the engine handles that smoothly though) #indiedev
