been doing some work on the daylight cycle, I fixed the star shader and made time based on ticks elapsed instead of seconds elapsed. Also got this nice screenshot :D #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

A screenshot of my game at sunset. There are hills and pine trees dotting the landscape.

Ah, it has an NPC village system? That's cool. Thats an aspect I want to explore in my own game, having NPC's with comfort requirements and stuff. I really like what necesse does with it's npcs and i think that would be cool in 3d. Better than making 1x1 prison boxes for mc villagers

I've heard about that game, I gotta try it out sometime. It might have some good ideas

Exactly. I feel like theres also this awkward period where you are working on the engine, so you cant *show* the gameplay yet, so they just assume that you are just going to make a 1:1 minecraft clone with all the same gameplay elements

Unomelon @unomelon.bsky.social · 16h

Currently working on signs and text rendering. I wanna make my sign system really flexible and customisable. Different sign shapes, font sizes, colours etc. Just got the text positioning working correctly, going to work on colour and light. #gamedev #indiedev

No matter where i post about my game I will always get people making minecraft clone comments. Somehow people can't get it through their head that games other than minecraft are allowed to exist. They down own 1^3 meter cubes

Everyone check out this other block game that has popped up recently. Looks really cool and I love the direction it's going in!

This looks so good, I am genuinely excited for this. Really, really interested to see what it becomes, and excited to play it in the future

Accidentally broke my renderer yesterday, but it ended up producing some really cool glitch art. #gamedev #indiedev

The game is also DRM free, so you are welcome to hold onto your copy and continue playing even after it goes paid

Unomelon @unomelon.bsky.social · 19d

Hey, thank you for playing! The game is going to enter early access next year which means it will cost money. I'm gonna charge $12 USD, but will apply regional pricing, so for example the price in brazilian real will be much cheaper (basically a permanent 50% discount)

The vibes are amazing!

Finally implemented better support for community translation in 0.9.5. People have been making translations for a while so I wanted to make sure they could see their hard work in the game. Still a lot of work to go before it is perfect, but it's a start :) #gamedev #indiedev

I think that is kind of what destiny hailstorm is doing for Voxel Eras, another indie voxel game. She has voxel lighting with shadows and it seems to work similarly, building a lightmap over time.

This is incredibly cool O:

How did you do the octagonal lighting? Is it 32 discrete levels instead of 16?

Incredible artwork of the forest spirit by Gen'ural in the Allumeria discord. Thanks so much! It's amazing to see people already making fan art for my janky little game :)

My sincere noob experience with mint wasn't great, the biggest selling point people kept telling me was that you can install everything through the package manager and how simple it is, but when I got mint, all the software in the package manager was several years out of date ):
