Hey #unity #blender #gamedev peeps, how do you work on existing FBX characters that have an armature and pre-existing animations. Now you e.g. want to add a bone to it. Orientation mess. Surprised there isn't tooling to e.g. temporarily reorient bones - or simply change the display orientation?
blender screenshot of imported character with rig, bones are visually hard to parse since their orientations don't match blender's defaults (instead aligned to Unity coordinate system)

Might need to add trajectory lines, at least as an option. Also, maybe bombs... This game feels like something I can actually get done quite fast. And yes, I'm aware I say this with every new project I start...

I've implemented better fog (atmospheric perspective) in my shaders, so distance fades not just towards a single color (like classic fog), but a color which itself gets paler with distance. This adds so much depth to distant parts of the view and I feel it makes the landscape "breathe". #GameDev

In 5 days we launch Forbidden Solitaire, our 17th game, and it's a weird feeling because either: a) It's going to flop (I don't think it will) b) It'll do OK (and we'll carry on) c) It'll do awesome (and our lives will change forever)

Reminder that you can just noodle around for fun. Draw or paint just for the sake of engaging in a creative activity. Not to be productive or goal-oriented at all. Don't need any special hardware. In fact I forgot my wacom was around and just used my mouse. 😹 #doodle #sketching #krita #artsky

Learning how to get angles with atan() in shaders 🙂 Used atan(uv.y, uv.x) to convert UV position → angle, and created something like a cooldown effect you often see on skill icons. #gamedev #Godot #shader

For my game's terrain, I've long mulled over how to combine the epicness of grand mountains with the "what's around the corner?" intrigue of smaller cliffs and hills. After a lot of fiddling over the past two days, I think I may be onto something. #GameDev #ProcGen

If you move the reference point far away enough, you can essentially find the point on an object that is furthest *in a direction* (e.g. lowest point, highest point, etc). Great for spawning directional effects, and other useful queries. 🐟💦 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev
