I wouldn’t go back to this but I got used to using unity with a trackpad at one point in my life, so it’s technically doable

The demo of our folk horror card strategy game The Killing Stone is live!

Tomas.. did you just add dynamic point lights to the Falconeer Remaster?

nooo.. just a vector4array buffered to the GPU for positions and ranges. It's nice even affects the clouds.

Those are pointlights, how many did you use????

not enough.... not enough

Puppy Truck's visual style has been referred to as "retro" in a way that makes me feel profoundly old.

This week I...

- got the Thug sprite in game
- finished announcement trailer for Steam

There's still more to do, but it's nice to finally be at this point.

thanks! will have to think about that hahah. I did get a suggestion to just rotate around a point that is traveling through space and I kinda dig that too

Kris (Wishlist Mansion of a Million Monsters!) @kristruitt.bsky.social · 4d

can someone smarter than me explain what math formula I'd need to use to move an object in loops of varying sizes like this towards an end point (in 2D)?
Bonus points if it can also track a moving endpoint

#screenshotsaturday Heavy attack button can be held for a charged version. This character is made from multiple different 2d skeletons which are sometimes substituted for traditional animation. #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania The goal is to avoid the paper doll or "flash" look as much as possible.

Froot Loops flavored protein powder is actually kinda good? And not as funky as I thought it'd be with coffee.
