Someone has been making my day on my morning dog walks lately! Thanks mystery person!

Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. 🥰

What’s a game that is universally loved that just didn’t click with you? Spelunky 2. On paper, it's my perfect game. I've over 600 hours in Noita and I LOVE roguelikes. I just couldn't get into it - really tried, too. Over the years I put in, like, 30-50 hours but it just never clicked for me.

NEW: Just 6% of Gen Z say they actually want a dictator – not over half, as has been recently claimed. Our study finds only a very small minority of 13-27-yr-olds really feel this way, when their views and interpretations are tested with different questioning approaches 🧵⬇️

Back to the particles today! Got the system all hooked up to real-time audio input for "ListenState" which now outputs audio spectrum info! I've found that the state machine is really helping to manage complexity now.

One of the cool things about shifting my particle simulation wholly to compute is that I can decide *exactly* which kernels to dispatch. This means: particle state machine!

Worked on porting some of the Unity VFX graph functions to custom compute shaders today! Very early days but I'm quite happy with my versions of sphere attractor and turbulence so far!

With Hogmanay it seemed like a good time to signal boost to the gamedevs of my adopted home, Scotland. If you're a Scotland-based or Scotland-born gamedev drop your name in the replies to be added (only self-nominations thanks folks). Reposts welcome & HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🙌🏻 go.bsky.app/RVGcV8u

Sadly, I’ve had to head back to my family home to look after my mum who’s going in for surgery tomorrow. She’s okay, but will need help during her recovery. It’s meant that I’ve not been able to concentrate on my work as much as I’d like, but some things are just more important!

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Been looking at the Slang shader language/Khronos announcement and it seems really interesting! Although the fact that it's Unicode rather than just ASCII makes me worry that if it's ever used in Shadertoy we'll have to decode `float3 💩 = 🐽` as well as the time honoured `a = b * p`...

Hey #unity devs! What do you prefer to do for player movement in a top down 2D game where physics isn’t important? I’ve settled on updating a rigidBody’s linearVelocity to get collisions from the physics engine but nothing else. Curious as to what others did!

Back to playing with swarm simulations for an as yet undisclosed game project. Trying to model the idea of a devouring swarm of Von Neumann cubes... This time I decided to move away from flocking (boids) and try playing with curl noise. I think the motion here "feels better"! #madewithunity #vfx

Thought I'd post a bit of older work transferred from the _other_ site... Here's one of a few physarum (slime mold) simulations that I created a while ago. 3 million agents using a novel algorithm that changes the search range as the amount of "scent" increases. #madeinunity #compute #vfx

Making progress on an idea to try and create a "living liquid" effect. Decided to play around with Unity's HDRP post process volumes to see how far you can push screen space techniques to fake fluids. Custom compute for the particles themselves, still. #technicalart #madewithUnity
