Isometric isn't usually my thing but I felt inspired.

Isometric pixel art sprites of Agrias Oaks from Final Fantasy Tactics. On the left is a custom sprite more proportionate to the games concept art. On the right is the original sprite from the PS1 game.

considering a voxel lighting algorithm that lights each voxel a uniform amount based on a calculated normal instead of using the cubic faces of each voxel. Got a proof of concept working but now need better demo assets. Anyone have pixel-art quality voxel assets for me to try?

been working on a 2D Unity-like game engine from scratch: C++ with SDL3 renderer, Luau scripting, scene hierarchy and behavior system, and interactive editor in an integrated webview. Still some rough edges but the pieces are all there!

Want auto-complete in your tile map editor? I prototyped an editor that uses wave function collapse algorithm which dynamically learns how to use your tiles as you use them. No auto-tiling rules necessary. Your map are the rules

Inktober Day 22 - Button Forever ago @danfessler.com showed a really snappy technique where he made an isometric drawing, dissected it, then projected it onto his model for a really easy texturing process. Finally gave it a proper go with a DS! #blender #b3d #3d #art #nintendo #animalcrossing

I’m not religious anymore, but I do sometimes miss the idea of prayer to get answers to major life decisions. It’s a comforting thought to pass the burden to a feeling you believe is meaningful.
