My book about character customization in Unity is updated with the first chapter of the section on Spine 2D that I'm working on. The first half of the book was all about 3D characters, and the second half is about 2D! #unity3d #spine2d jettelly.com/store/charac...

Started playing a big of Hellblade II the other day, and that first level really inspired me to see if I could get a similar vibe in Unity with a handful of megascans and a bit of HAZE 🌫 Really dig the results, especially for ~1.5 hours of messing around 👀 #gamedev #unity3d #madewithunity

Help me find this game from my feed will ya, it was a black and white Cult of the Lamb-like game same cult-themed idea but the perk was you could draw in blood for some reason. It’s a one word title, I was captivated by the minimalist style. I know you’re out there devs. #pitchyagame #indiegame

Massive love to the unique @teamcherry.bsky.social today for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Internally we are absolutely buzzing here in #madewithunity land.
Will is hyped about hollow knight Silksong and this is some key art from the game depicting the main character.

Working on enemy AI. The standard path sends them on a straight line to their target, which looked very unnatural. Still far from finished, but it already looks much better. Simple changes, great improvements! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #strategygame #survivalgame #unity3d #gaming #scifi

I've been more and more interested in lighting art for levels, so I tried my hand doing a relighting of the "Hidden Alley" scene from PolyHaven And then I watched a bit of Silent Hill f footage, so this happened 😅 It was a good use case for HAZE too 👀 #gamedev #unity3d #madewithunity
