Haven't thought about this one in a long, long time. Colossal Katamari. Probably what most people knew me from before I started working on Owlboy #pixelart #ドット絵

Pixel art of Wanderer and the colossi from Shadow of the Colossus, depicted as Katamari characters, the bosses being rolled in a giant ball.

Throwback to a super early short game jam where I gave my VR penguin a touch screen on which to play another penguin game. #gamedev #indiedev

Genuinely a choice that vexed little me. I thought they were bristles for a good while until it dawned on me, and then I felt misled.

Happy #screenshotsaturday, y'all. Everyone tells new devs to start learning by cloning games like Pong. My advice: don't stop at Pong. However long you've been at it, recreating games or mechanics you like (or don't like) helps you understand the hows and whys better than just playing.

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (2002) how the did they get the water to look like that, this is incredible I don't mean the reflections, look at the shape of the wave as it moves, the lighting, the glow.. This and the game loop are **amazing** and needs to be studied This is lost technology oh my god

This is genuinely devastating news. Ubisoft Winnipeg was a key part of the local game development scene. I'm hoping all the devs who worked there are able to land on their feet 💔

Okay I made low poly spring shader that compensates for the scale when sampling uvs so the wire doesn’t get thicker when stretched

Three coiled springs stretched out to different lengths

Was surprised to learn Godot doesn't have built-in methods for determining if a point is inside a shape, or the closest point on a shape, so I took some time to write my own. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Recently I got invited to join the new Godot UX team. When I have time I will be helping testing editor PRs and make Godot more usable for everyone. What are some of the most annoying things about Godot UI/UX that you think need attention?

Finally figured it out, and OOF! It's because Godot's property setters aren't called if the property is left at the default value! This is a pretty common gotcha, so watch out! #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

A screenshot of the ocean wave_speed property, which has a setter that syncs the value to the GPU.

I have a scene in my project called "isle_zero" which serves as a controlled environment where I fix bugs and work the kinks out of features. And whenever I do, I say "Cleanup on isle zero!" I find it hilarious and it makes boring work a bit more tolerable. #gamedev #indiedev

Like so: the base textures have UV1, and another texture with transparency is used for expressions on UV2, blinking and some speech. Most game engines reserve UV2 for lightmap uvs though

tomNomNOM @tomnomnom.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Fun tip: you can have more than 1 uv layout/channel for a mesh and with some very simple shader magic, you can use those uv maps to layer textures on top of eachother. Older N64 and ps1 games (N64 pokemon for example) used this technique for all the facial animations.

tomNomNOM @tomnomnom.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

For Blender specifically, selecting sharp edges, mark seams and then an angle-based uv unwrap can win you a lot of the battle. For straightening UVs (like for a pipe), 'Follow Active Quads' is a massive time saver. You just need a face with with aligned UVs for the isĺand to follow

020

tomNomNOM @tomnomnom.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

There's lots of little things about UV unwrapping and what tips work well depend on your software of choice but 2 big things that help are: keeping consistant texel density (How many pixels a mesh face has), and a good uv layout can save you work texturing in some cases
