Added a smooth transition between training scenarios for reasons. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames #Evolution

My evolution game needed a way to display creatures and terrain without a mesh to free up cpu cycles in training mode. I made this shader that visualizes a heightmap directly onto a texture so you have something to look at while they evolve. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames #Evolution

Still not a game yet but its getting closer to something. Also, need to figure out what the 'game' is. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames #Evolution

Finally starting to get the UI together, still a lot of work but its getting closer to an actual game! #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames

It’s been a while since my last post, the little guys finally have brains!! Right now it’s only on single cells but they learn completely on their own. They grown up so fast 🥹 #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames

100% as someone with 0 talent I have to spend days with photoshop tools and shader magic to do what a halfway decent artist does in minutes.

As a developer I have 2 modes “I don’t understand why it’s not working” and “I don’t understand why it’s working”

Now they know how to reach for stuff, next I get to see if I can give them a brain so they can learn how to walk, run, kill, contemplate the meaning of life, doom scroll, idk. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames

Self awareness is not as easy as it looks. I had to make sure every body part knows if their child parts are blocked so they dont get all tangled up. They get really grumpy when they are tangled. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames

Took a minute to find a style that works for 'drawn' creature in the editor. I was going to do a pencil style but water color was easier. Since i suck at art, this is 1000% math and burning your gpu. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames

More evolution progress. Finalized the Blueprint mechanics and am working on the Sketchpad to design the visuals. I think it needs a bit more crosshatching to really sell the drawn look. Last image is the final in-game version. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames

Its been nearly a decade and this phase continues to hold true "How can anyone in their right mind support him after he..."

That’s my secret, I’m always fixing it.

And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?

In addition to seeing the cars the could see the sphere in front of the car. It would make them react t where the car is going to be.

working on an evolution game and having fun with shaders. Dynamically changing the creatures in 3d can really slow down the cpu so we decided to go old school for the editor. The fun thing about this is the image (except the text) is generated on the GPU. #gamedev #indiedev #Indiegames

On the other side of the pond ours go a bit further. They’re more like “people are taking away our religious freedom” [to take away other people’s freedom] and “we should turn the region into a field of glass” [nuclear genocide of a religion they disagree with]. I prefer yours.

Number one is marketing. It feels wasteful to spend time showing off progress instead of making progress.

Just finished up my water physics and shader, I was shooting for something that would match the style of the terrain. This uses realistic fluid dynamics because why not. I still think GPUs are magic, you can't convince me otherwise. #gamedev #indiedev #worldwaterday
