As a team with professional engine developers, graphics enthusiasts and game artists, we decided to give our in-depth analysis on DLSS 5, covering several key aspects of this new technology and its implications for game devs. 🧵👇 [1/14] #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #news #nvidia #thread

Updated the vegetation to add more variety. This version seems so much more natural. Next, we're going to add more trees, decorations, and paths 🌿 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #Sanctia

We've been working on vegetation and engine optimization the past couple of weeks. Here are some renders! Still a work in progress, but we're happy with the result 🙌 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #Sanctia #screenshots

Our talented artist @hekki-aart.bsky.social is conceptualizing some amazing looking chunks for the exploration demo ! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #Sanctia #conceptart

Drawning of a squared chunk of a terrain, paint style. The terrain is traversed by a bright river and decorated with vibrant trees and vegetation.

Added a bloody and dirty procedural effects, with an additional "absorbent" attribute in the paint material to simulate a tissue aborbing a liquide like blood. It's quite fun balancing things out and getting those results! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #procedural

Oh yeah, it's all coming together ! The night sky now has... stars ✨! Also the paint effect is now less blurry, more vibrant and glowy. I kinda love the ambience of it now. Feel free to tell us what you think of it! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #Sanctia #landscape #screenshots #procedural

Colorfull night sky in-game screenshot. We can see the sihlouette of a mountain range in the distance, the horizon is engulfed in a dark purple atmosphere. Atop the mountains, a strange nebula is glowing red.

What's a beautiful sunset for, without a proper night sky? For our #Sanctia game, we wanted a vibrant night ambiance! Here are some work-in-progress screenshots of the pre-alpha in-game terrain and skybox, enjoy ! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #Sanctia #paint #landscape #screenshots #procedural

Night time landscape inside the game, only the silhouette of the terrain is visible inside a thick purple fog. A very strange nebulla is visible atop the mountain range, clashing with a brish orangy glow.

Screenshot of the night time landscape, this time it's from the opposite direction. a yellowish moon is visible and the galaxy we are inside of is glowing with shades of green, yellow and pink.

Like the previous screenshots, but this time the view is focused on the bright and colorfull gas clouds inside the galaxy.

This screenshot shows the strange nebula, but the sun is almost comming out of the horizon, hiding almost every night sky elements, except the nebula who is still bright enough to be seen.

Hello, is it still working? It's been a while. Turns out, managing both social media and the development of a video game is quite tricky. Well, anyway, to give you all something, here are some recent screenshots of the pre-alpha terrain and the new paint effect overhaul 🎨🖌️

Dawn time scree, view of a distance coline range. With stylized paint effect on geometry, clouds, lighting and fog. The color are vibrant and almost dream-like.

Another dawn time screenshot, of a high mountain visible in the distance.

This screenshot shows the day-time ambience, with bright cyan sky, subtle ground fog and vibrant sun.

Kinda late to the party, but happy pride, everyone ! 🏳️‍🌈 🫶 We kinda want to get back in here to show what we are working on, but things aren't ready yet, and we won't have much free time to work on our projects until this mid-summer.

For an academic project, a friend of mine made a sun and moon cycle in #VulpineEngine, accurate to the time of year and moon cycle. What’s great about this is the fact that the moon is visible at certain times of the day. This can result in pics that go so hard! #indiegamedev #gamedev

A screenshot with the moon visible at sunset time, with beautiful sky gradient and a placeholder terrain that gives an "album cover" vibe.

The distance fog now uses the atmospheric scattering shader functions for realistic coloring depending on the time of day. Love the results! 😍 #indiegamedev #gamedev #vulpineEngine

Just tested a cross-shaped bloom effect. It looks surprisingly good! What do you all think ?

Day shot, we can see the effect the bloom is giving the sun.

Dawn shot, we can see the cross shapped redish and yellowish bloom around the sun

Testing on a dirt colored smooth surface.

Night Sky shot, the bloom is more subtle

A fan art of #Zelda I did after I had my best gaming moments on Tears of the Kingdom. It's an hommage to the first sketch I did at the first teaser in 2019. I tried my best to replicate the game's style 😅 #DigitalArt #TOTK #TheLegendOfZelda

I've been working on a new ECS based UI system for my custom #VulpineEngine. So far I've made a real time plotter and an advanced color picking tool. Can't wait to see the full result when all the elements are ready and put together !

Hey, with these little projects of ours, our goal is to create art with passion for an open-minded and positive community. You are always welcome, and should always be. The only thing we DON'T want to make a place for is bigotry.

Improved the brush aspect, added LOD fading effect, efficient vertex packing support and some others things. I'm pretty happy with the result ! Now our artist has a full workflow for making assets. Back to physic and game logic stuffs now 🙏
