Been playing too much street fighter 6, trying out implementing motion inputs! Rough input viewer in the top left, I'm sure none of this comes across through video but it feels pretty nice! Quarter circles, Z moves, and mashing combos work! #ScreenshotSaturday #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Trying out shell texturing for a short-grass pass, I like the result! Leaning into pixelized looks a little more. A little tool script generates each layer/shell via MultiMeshInstance3D and the shader cuts out pieces to make strands that look best from […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Vertex colors my beloved; I'm trying out splat texturing by vertex color, still allows UVs to have a role in tilling while blending between multiple textures all in one material. Now I need to figure out how to make my own textures, probably going for […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Blender Vertex-Color view, the island is red on the top for grass, green and blue on the sides for two different types of rock texture once imported into Godot

In-editor screenshot of the same angle as the blender example, water is removed to show more of the island's rocky walls.

top-ish view of the island with vertex splat texturing, the grass is dense and tiling without much weird stretching.

Inspired from Rhell devlogs by Slug Glove I've been trying my hand at UV editing with wind-waker style repeating textures. Using this maybe overzealous three-layer texture I can squish UVs to form a wall making use of the x-axis repeating to prevent […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

3/4th view of a low-poly island, the stone texture appears on the side, just over the water. the grass texture is quite large.

Top-down view of the island, shows off imperfections with the grass, this is the least stretching I could achieve and it's very stretched

Blender UV-editing view showing how the wall is a strip of UVs expanding past the normal bounds to the left and right, the UVs overlap with the middle section of the texture for a light-stone.

The single square texture I used for the island, the top 1/3 is grassy blending into a light-stone and finally blending that to a darker-muddy stone.

Wires connecting Yoke to two adders, only one trace has an inverter. This allows the machine to turn by holding right, and move forward by holding forward.

Four line program to do the same operation as the previous wires screenshot

Reads:

fmv fa1, fs1

fadd fa0, fa0, fs0
fsub, fa1, fa1, fs0

Much less wires for computer to motor hook-up
