I don't know if people are still as amazed by substance designer as I am! It's been a while since I used it but cracked it open today to make some frozen snow tracks for our RTS map. The level of control is unparalleled, so much fun. #gamedev

These modular terrain tiles and river tiles can be snapped together to build maps like this! Planning on adding paths and bridges in the same fashion! #gamedev

Made this little demo scene for my river and lake modular tile system - validated and will be released on the Unity asset store in the next few days! :o #gamedev

Building a real time destruction system for our RTS. Looking forward to taking out some bridges! #gamedev

It's been so hot recently it's even started to affect digital water #gamedev

The shader now detects the camera projection and does slightly different calculations to ensure the water depth and edge foam work correctly in isometric mode! This article was a huge help: cyanilux.com/tutorials/de... #gamedev

HDRP version of the river & waterfall tiles working as intended! Wasn't a particularly smooth transition but when does anything ever go to plan? 😆 #gamedev

I wonder what lives in these depths? 👀 #gamedev

3D terrain tiles that snap together to build landscapes and maps. Flowmaps doing their thing despite some questionable river junctions (4 way junction?) XD I call this biome 'Scottish Summer' #gamedev

It's so satisfying to see my modular river & cliff tiles work together! Really makes the terrain feel alive! #gamedev

Texturing workflow for our RTS units: -> Assign trim sheet material in Blender -> Bake to 1-1 UVs -> Damage/dirt/player marking masks in Substance -> Controlled by shader in Unity. It gives loads of flexibility with variation of colour/damage + high fidelity from the trim sheets! #gamedev

Modified version of @unity.com's water shader + flowmaps + modular river tiles = desire to go swimming #gamedev

Mine drone from our RTS - just out for a stroll. #gamedev #RTS

You know you're getting deep into game dev when you look at an AO map and think 'I should hang this in my living room' 😆 #gamedev

For me games are the ultimate form of creative expression. The mix of art, music, storytelling and interactive immersion doesn't really exist in other forms including Hollywood.

my river tile generator is coming along nicely! its a steep learning curve but satisfying to see some results with Houdini! #gamdev

I built this little modular river tile generator in Houdini! It even produces the elusive 4 way river crossroad junction (those exist right?) #gamedev

Speedrunning an RTS map build using my modular terrain tiles! #gamedev
