To this day this is possibly still the (unintentionally) funniest scene I've created in my career. Don't worry, there is a NET BELOW HER SHE IS FINE! She just happens to perform stunts with the grace of a rock and we love that for her ❤️ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #burdenofproof #vndev

A scene from Burden of Proof showing the character Chloe jumping from a burning building into a net below her. However, she is completely stiff with no falling animation. Oops!

HUGE thank you to @green-art.bsky.social for these incredible pieces of Flocking fanart! I am honored that you found my character designs inspiring, this is genuinely impressive & hilarious work ❤️ Finally, the Burden of Truth yoga ball gets some love🔥 #fanart #characterdesign #art #characterart

For my next game project I set out to build editor tools to improve level creation; I came up with a spline-driven object placement system for easily placing down roads, tree lines, city blocks, or bridges! It's FREE & open source on my Github :) #gamedev #opensource github.com/RobProductio...

I used to look up to Andrew Price & he was a big reason that I was able to learn 3D art for my games. He even critiqued some of my early works on his review show long before the donut tutorial. To see that he has fallen this far and associated with a known bigot is disappointing.

Though it might sound like a small win, I was actually stuck on this problem for over a month and thought it might ruin the project. After discovering a material setting I missed, I can now sort transparent objects behind Unity's volumetric cloud system 😅 #graphics #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. To be honest I've been feeling increasingly overwhelmed, anxious, and miserable as I continue getting stuck in development topics for my next game that I'm not sure I can pull off in any reasonable time.

The next update for Visual Terrain will feature Voronoi noise as an option for noise nodes! By itself it might not seem like much, but when you layer it into existing heightmaps you can carve out more triangular shapes to fake eroded mountains 😎 #gamedev #programming #terrain #indiedev

Doing a stress test/workflow check on my terrain plugin and I'm learning some good techniques for creating good looking landscapes :) Still plenty to polish up and simplify, but this hands-on demo definitely helps to improve the tool! #gamedev #indiedev #programming #gameart #terrain #coding

The node graph used to create the terrain.

Matt @robproductions.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

It's a simplified approximation but the erosion node was surprisingly easier than I expected! Of course it doesn't look too special now but when you layer in noise/smoothing it'll be super useful in the pipeline :) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #programming #proceduralart

You can now sculpt terrains with collision shapes in my upcoming terrain tool! 🎉 All that's really left once I finalize this is some extra QOL stuff, optimization, & simple erosion tools... and I'll release the plugin as open source :D #gamedev #indiedev #programming #indiegame #unity3d

A screenshot of the Visual Terrain Editor showing that collision shapes in a scene can become a rasterized image which will affect the terrain height via nodes.

Matt @robproductions.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Now that I've got a solid baseline of features for my terrain tool, I was able to add some QOL upgrades like having one node doing what used to take multiple nodes + manual math :) Now I can get this much shape complexity from one node! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gameart #programming

A screenshot of the Visual Terrain Editor showcasing just one node generating layers of noise and outputting into a Height Output node, which has created a complex terrain.

It's surprising how many interesting terrain shapes you can create with just a few math equations 😎 I've almost created all the needed nodes for this tool, but weird issues sometimes pop up and fix themselves randomly... not a good sign lol #gamedev #indiedev #coding #programming #gameart
