Added some spooky undead.

Also finished wrapping up a rewrite of the character (or anything really) generation code and updated it to make this video.

It was something I needed to do for the kindom-culture generation which is up next...

Indeed. I might try to use the black-without-highlight for demons or undead or something like that later.

White-eye version.

Inspired by #DontStarve, which I made a mod for ages ago. :3

RedMattis @redmattis.bsky.social · 4d

This version had a tendency of looking like they would skin you alive and wear your face as a mask.

Still a bit creepy-cute though. Imo.

RedMattis @redmattis.bsky.social · 4d

Been testing new eyes for the mice.

It was really just a crazy midnight thing, but I realized I kinda liked it.

A previous co-worker's idea to add the highlight. 100% better.

Two other attempts in the comments to this post.

Replying here to avoid spamming.

Any another looping little video with more idly dancing characters because I'm want to share. :3

Mostly been working on data structures, but I also set up some new graphics, outfit combos, etc.

The game went from 1 head graphic to 11 (after endless tweaking and tuning).

I'm pretty happy with the results tho! :D

Mostly worked on the rendering system, which can be seen on the apparel which can now have various rules for colors, etc. :)

In the future it will be possible to get more fancy with it. :)

I also had to redo every single setup for every hair, skin, etc. Oof.

Did some work on an apparel/layer system. Here is #barbarian armor I ported from my #rimworld #mod

Otherwise I’ve been working mostly on framework stuff recently. It is going great, but doesn’t make for great pictures :p

Played a little bit with rimworld and wrote a glowy energy shader last evening.

I originally aimed to just make basic glow, but I feature creeped it a bit…

Might resuse it in my own hobby game too.

The feature is available on the steam workshop now. Will probably keep interrating on it though. :)

RedMattis @redmattis.bsky.social · Aug 31

Got the mod feature deployed properly. :)

Better shaders, 3-colour stuff, ability to change the colour of stuff like specific genes (where supported), etc.

Was an interesting challenge to work on. ^_^

Making a little custom colour-customization system in my RimWorld mod.

Uses the shader I made before for nicer blending and extra colours. :)

Here is how it looked before with Ludeon's own shader. In-between regions blended in the base (white) color, and were a bit crunchy or ".jpeg"-feeling.

RedMattis @redmattis.bsky.social · Aug 26

Managed to figure out how to build rimworld shaders, and created a new shader with much better blending and support for full RGBA instead of just Red+Green.

The Ideology icon is unrelated to this change. Looks a bit meh up-close but I thought it was eat :)

Made a new RimWorld mod which lets you toggle a more reactive mode for drafted colonists, letting them use abilities and pursue foes.

Prevented the timeline where #RimWorld Odyssey released without alligators capable of performing pulse weapons research. With #mods.

Alligator (Dr. Gator) seated at simple research bench while his simpler brethren float by lazily outside.

They can’t?

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Alligators are of course perfectly capable of conducting pulse weapons research!

Oh hey, another developer making a persistent world simulation-kind of game. That's awesome! We need more games like this.

It has long disappointed me that no big open-world games actually dare commit to making a game world that isn't just a pile of pre-scripted and curated events

Best of luck! :)

Infinitely reusable aerial delivery system! :D

I usually craft tribalwear and make a 1 tile stockpile for it in the prison(s).

Warm enough and covers everything most pawns care about.

Bleh. Didn't get things working today. Past midnight. Should be asleep hours ago...

I think I'm 90% of the way to the AI searching the map for resources, extracting them, and going back with them.

Here have some random unreadable JSON! :'D

Hopefully I have something better to show next time. :)

RedMattis @redmattis.bsky.social · Jun 13

Was busy being sick. Did mess a bit of tinkering with the shaders, renderings, scaling, json editing,...

I think the colors look a bit cleaner now, and the outline less gritty. Hope it is noticable.

More gameplay next! :)

More flash freeze than cold snap. :D

Started messing around with getting the NPC-AI to build bases and collection resources. Currently quite buggy, but it is progressing nicely :)
