Crude experiment with custom raytraced shadows in URP via @unity.com's Unified Ray Tracing. Eventually I'm hoping to replace shadow maps with RT and soften them with a bilateral blur. Maybe if I try hard enough, it won't be much slower :)

Fun 5 hour sidequest of adding UInt support to texture visualization in the WebGPU Inspector browser extension, all in an attempt to debug my Unity GBuffer packing. @brendanduncan.bsky.social thanks for making the extension and making it open source! I'll complete this and submit a pull request.

Saw that "The Witcher 4" UE5 tech demo with the voxel trees for fast rendering at a distance? I figured... that should be easy to do in TinyBVH. :) So now TinyBVH can do voxel meshes.

I have been making some decent progress on my Ocean Shader's new Wave Editor. Currently, it's just a port of the auto-generator script, but now includes preview screens to make sure lower resolution settings still look coherent. Next up, making the Wave Settings editor! #Indiedev #Unity #Shader

Procedural rivers now carve terrain, clear trees and grass (and grow reeds on the side), follow basic pathfinding and generate instantly. Next: making them less roadlike with variable width and more natural, winding flow - basically I don't want to see any straight lines💧 NimianLegends.com

you know i'm right

most gamers have held up Time To Finish as a unit of value in a game, but all this has done is lead to bloated, dull, over-padded games that stretch on for 40+ hours with little to say.

i propose a new measurement: Novelties Per Hour. this will incentivize increasingly short but dense games. someday you will be able to play for 30 minutes and have your mind blown 100 times in a row

Had to share this lovely home I made for the in-game manual screenshots in Squeakross 🐁 I spent so much time modeling all those props I actually forgot how much work that was!!

Screenshot of the game Squeakross home squeak home. It shows a neatly arranged room filled with red and brown modern looking furniture and a couple of plants. A rodent is in the background sitting in front of a large table with a pizza in front of them. The walls are made of dark bricks and there is a dark de-saturated wooden flooring.

Screenshot of the game Squeakross home squeak home. The rodent is standing in front of a double door fridge. A tall cabinet with lots of dishes is standing at the right of the rodent. Next to the fridge is a microwave on a sideboard.
