Ever curious software engineer, now @Roblox. Was engine director at King, made a bunch of stuff at Halfbrick. Probably made games you played as a kid?

Tinkering with a little idea based on 9Kings. Imagine the buildings have synergies with their neighbours and fixed production cycles and you have an idea whats coming next. The traffic is.. really wrong, but looks fun! #robloxdev

So an unexpected benefit of AI is you can just reverse compile SNES roms now. Here's a little chunk of Yoshis Island ported to Roblox, just for fun! #robloxdev

Ever wanted to just turn the "water on" in Roblox and flood your map to easily create rivers and lakes? Now you can! I've made a free plugin that uses an advanced 2.5D water sim to easily flow water around. LMK how it goes!#RobloxDev Link to free plugin:

So Roblox doesn't natively support big oceans of water, but with a little bit of ingenuity (aka: dirty dirty tricks) you can get pretty darn close! #robloxdev

To celebrate the release of surfaceAppearances and editableImages, here's some procedural water surfaceAppearance code for you! No flipbooks, just scrolling normalmaps. The performance is pretty respectable. Uncopylocked place: #robloxdev #roblox

This ones a little half-baked, but still cool! We'll fix the bug with surfaceAppearance transparencies and then this'll be way more impressive. Fizzle! #roblox #robloxdev

Tip 25: With some code, you can make particles "Always On Top" by abusing their ZOffset property and a call to WorldToViewportPoint. See here: #robloxdev

I have a "spore creature creator" going in Roblox! Any leg count and body shape works. And there is zero chance I'm going let any of you degenerates play with it because I know what you'll make... #robloxdev

Playing around with a procedural rock generator. Sure you can just rotate/place one or two rocks over and over again, but at 300-400 tris a pop, why not have unique rocks everywhere? #robloxdev

Editablemesh decals! I'll opensource this as an API very soon. You can: 1) Project onto meshparts or blockparts (assuming you have permission) 2) Use texture atlases for the rects 3) Batch stuff up however you want 4) Use surfaceApperances or textures (or whatever) #robloxdev

Spent a bit of time optimizing it! Some stats: Now uses LOD+Actors so only 5000 verts a frame to update (4ms on my crusty 3.5ghz pc) 60fps flipbook for the materials costs ~10MB of textures Normal.Y->lerp color per vertex gives that glowy green tropical water effect #RobloxDev

As promised: realtime + baked projected decals on meshes and baseparts! All the source is here: (You might have to reexport/import the example meshes to get past permission checks. ) Show me what you make! #roblox #robloxdev

Grinding away on the Pro Decals UI. It's just about ready but of course I can't release this until it leaves the studio beta. Hey Roblox, how's that new fiat plugin storefront coming? #robloxdev

The new demo map for Roblox Vis Tools has finally gone up! This is my direct answer to the original Modern City not showing off my SDK very well, and has been brewing for a while now :) This maps pretty carefully budgeted so it runs great on mobile, and boasts huge view distances, hundreds of buildings and thousands of props like street lamps, trees and lights. But funnily enough, it's not THAT fussily put together - the SDK buys you a lot of breathing room. The artists literally were kitbashing smaller buildings together make bigger buildings. Literal building blocks! Huge Kudos to Rasberry and Oliver for their art and map building that made this all possible. #roblox #robloxdev #robloxvistools Link to the SDK and Demo:
