Tip: If Unity complains about over four overlapping baked lights or too many shadow maps, but you only have one light, the culprit might be missing lightmap UVs on some of your meshes. Took me a while to track this down. They can be generated in the mesh importer. #Unity3D #Lighting #GameDevelopment

Wow, that’s pretty long. The worst I’ve hit was around 25 minutes with a few AAA-level shaders.

Definitely yes. That purple glimmer makes the world feel magical.

Usually there’s plenty happening behind the scenes but not much to show. This time it’s the opposite!

Love that hover effect. Subtle yet clear. There’s something oddly satisfying about watching it.

To complicate things further: Finnish generally uses only the gender-neutral "hän", but in some extremely rare cases, the Swedish gender-neutral hen is used as a feminine form. The only time I’ve seen this was in a translation of Joyce’s Ulysses.

I'm not. It's just a quote.

Defeated stance, clenched fist, and disappointed face. "Not again."

A cozy main menu background for #ScreenshotSaturday. There’s still plenty to refine, but the slide projector already takes it straight back to the ’70s. I’m planning to fill the photo tray with snapshots from older versions of the game, so a touch of history in there too.

As someone who nearly lost a hat to a gust of wind just a moment ago, I’d say this is a tiny bit unrealistic. But otherwise a perfectly fitting feature.

This image is pretty close to how I imagined the Children of the Corn short story when I first read it

I hope this isn’t triggered every time you use your keys. Would be much too realistic.

Lots of inventory space in that outfit.

There’s something delightfully unsettling about this.

😀 Looks like I’ll need to add some strategic elements.

Beautiful!

That’s a lovely vision and fits well with the mood I’m aiming for! I might try to incorporate it by the December release at the latest.

What could this model possibly have to do with toy car racing? #Blender #Substance #3DModeling #IndieDev #GameArt

At my consulting day job, some high-security clients have banned AI use entirely. That's kind of refreshing nowadays.

A poltergeist game.

Evening routine: model abstract forms in #Blender, import into #Unity, experiment with angles, colors, and shaders, grab a screenshot, tidy it up in #Gimp, then bring it back into Unity as a background texture. The stupidest workflow ever, but here’s the result: a new start screen. #SoloDev
