Oliver is a good friend, experienced illustrator, and amazing coder too! He's only gone and built a new paint app around his super fast brush engine. "Kala Paint" is chock full of artist-first features, and growing in power, community, and interest by the day. Check out the free trial!

a little Kala Paint painting between coding things @kalapaint.bsky.social I added a smoothed speedup feature to the Timelapse Manager for this that everyone can now use! I used it here to make the rendering stage play 6x faster(!). A bit more fun to watch without the sketch going by in 2 frames

Kala Paint is out! I'm @olawson.bsky.social , professional artist for 15 years, then game dev, now wrote the painting software I wish I'd been using all this time. GPU-run creamy brushes, no subscription, no gen AI crap, hand-coded with ideas from artists in our Discord, and more added weekly!

I've been using Sam's software (Apparance) as an insanely powerful runtime #procgen tool for Unity/UE games for the past few years and it's insanely underrated. Some of my work is on that article, check it out!

Few days learning #godot 2D by remaking Dungeon Keeper with Zelda assets so I could focus on code - digging! - NPC hijinks with courage/exploration goals/avoidance/etc, not just stamina/hp! - custom Navmesh to suit dynamic maps! - Fog, and shader minimap! - Save Files! - Local Multiplayer!

Thanks for the warm welcome to Bluesky guys! As well as my gamedev stuff, I'll also post some art I do Ancient #illustration from my old drives that I still like 🌎

Hi BSky! Gonna be posting a bunch of different but always interesting things on this account. I've been an artist/AD in the games industry since 2010, the past couple of years I switched to TA and #procgen programming roles. Here's a 3d modelling program I'm making to learn C++ with #raylib
