the best part of #gamedev is finding out how deep every problem goes: currently procedurally generating a snail and snailshell and trying to understand how to position one against the other dynamically (I haven't thought about snails this much since I was a kid)

I've never seen the point in After Effects since I can use game engines, p5js, blender or TouchDesigner etc. to get similar effects but I am starting to see that these are all complimentary tools and offer different perspectives on the problem space

We actually started with a square grid but after MUCH testing, the extra degree of freedom in hex unlocks much more dynamic puzzles... plus it looks cool

I finally gave in to the voices and re-wrote the outline shader but... I think it was worth it (left before, right after) #gamedev #godotengine

rumours of PAR52's demise have been greatly exaggerated! in fact, we now have bouncy mushrooms 🍄 (public playtesting soon...ish) #gamedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

the key to creative coding: numbers you can scrub through?

do you really need custom tool to design the scoring system for your golf game? probably not, but... we have one anyway! #gamedev #godotengine
