Hey! I go by Caaz, you may remember me from tumblr and twitter.
I'll be sharing various nonsense containing but not limited to
- Blender Modeling, Texturing
- Godot Shaders
- Web Development, Django/Python mostly
- Pico-8
- 3D Printing
Into the same stuff? Make my feed interesting #promosky

Oh my god this would be amazing to pair with a Pokemon DPPT excavation minigame-like game
I noticed the PNG export option, but is there any license to use em in outside projects?

Another option would be I suppose to just do the whole scene in 3D and just make your game's logic only care about the plane gameplay happens on. This can be nicer if you want fancier lighting or a more dynamic camera. Orthographic cameras can also make things look 2D enough!

Yeah! That's one option! I've used FlatPixel in the past which is great, and open source! github.com/connor-lenno...
It can create normal maps with your spritesheet based on the animations you've got for it. it's pretty handy.

This is one of those things I always notice in my own text but never have paid attention to in someone else's, I know for sure I get stuck on using for sure. aaaa

There's a simple solution! Use 3D assets for a 2D game! I've done it a few times now and it's been pretty cozy.

It was a bit unintuitive when I first encountered this with tilesets, where my shader was seemingly doing things in all sorts of places I didn't expect.
My solution back then was to put the tileset (or sprite2Ds in this case) in a canvas layer, then I could shade that instead.

I suppose this effect.
shader_type canvas_item;
void fragment() { COLOR.rg = UV.xy; }
A shader operating on a Sprite2D using an atlas texture, you can think of the region you select as the UV for the sprite, instead of how sprites tend to be a full UV of the whole sprite.

oooo fancy fancy. I've never got to try out the creative side of Figma, mostly just the poking around at mocks side. I'll have to add that to my list of things to learn!

This is absurdly slick, how do you go about making these? I've never felt comfortable making UI elements like this at all, I'm terrible at even mocking it up.

Alright, my pixel art gothic font Decree is now out! I spent quite a bit of time refining it today and I think I'm happy with it!
The funds from this font will go directly to the development of Godscrown!
Can't afford the $2? Feel free to reach out!

My initial thought for android and iOS would be something like Cordova, which covers mobile as well as desktop platforms.
As for release, you can always update after putting it on itch, but it's nice to have everything in order initially for a public release.

I feel this so hard trying to set up all the legal bits of this myself. Like, it feels kind of ridiculous to even be in this position but...
I think at least, I'd hope, that creatives of all types can give people a reason to keep fighting, because there's still some good in the world, right?

It's certainly marketed towards non profits and open source projects but it can be used for all sorts of things really

I really like Open Collective because it's very transparent in regards to money flow and it's got a lot of systems that help facilitate this and many other things. It's got an "Updates" feature to notify people following the project/organization with posts, but I haven't used it myself.

Took a break from Gamedev today to wander around downtown, do some businessy paperwork, and I'm halfway there to owning a whole business of my own. I feel like it's long overdue that I fully take things into my own hands.
