one more for tonight, but there will be way more soon.

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. A player made mine shaft is abruptly interrupted by a deep cave full of glowberries. The player is standing at the edge of the mine shaft, looking down.

my other favorite thing is finding unusual generation. it's especially outstanding with shaders!

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. Terrain generation is fairly normal... except the cliff face in front of the player is missing a huge chunk! This causes some pretty outlandish overhang, and some equally outlandish shadows!

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. A piece of the world branches out and hooks a 90 degree angle to the left. Beside it is a moderate sized chunk of dirt and stone that's floating in the air.

what i use is complementary reimagined with euphoria patches. i'm constantly tweaking the settings for these shaders, trying to strike a balance between pretty, functional, and decently speedy.

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. The screenshot is intentionally very dark. Small, faint stars litter the sky. The new moon is silhouetted by a blackened cliff face.

tumblr really liked this one - and i can't blame them!

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. There is an island covered in yellow fog on the top half of the screen. The island is reflected in pink water on the bottom half of the screen.

the nice part about my forever world is that i have commands enabled. i can safely take photos like this by simply switching to spectator mode!

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. Lava pours from a deep stone pillar. Smoke appears to be emitting from the lava. There is one diamond in the deep stone pillar.

needless to say, there's a lot of screenshots. setting up for screenshots has become one of my favorite things to do in this world.

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. The side of a cliff is on the left, the sun acting as a rim light. Clumps of mountain are scattered in the sky. In the empty space are two boxy clouds.

i recently started a "forever world" and wanted to take screenshots of things i found pretty or interesting.

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. Half of a geode has been mined. There only light emanates from the amethyst buds.

a whole bunch of minecraft screenshots (an ongoing 🧵)

A Minecraft screenshot with shaders. The sun rises behind a cliff face. A spruce tree is silhouetted by the sun.

A screenshot of the Deltarune Chapter 3 Secret Route. In place of Kris, Madeline from Celeste is seen playing playing the PICO-8 version of Celeste. Madeline is stylized to look like a Deltarune character.

another celeste idea: two sided frosted acrylic charm of the in game profile! side a would be like a fresh profile, and side b would be a 100% clear profile with all the stamps!

In honor of pride month, it is a Good Day to remember that Madeline CelesteGame is canonically trans.

I love this game with all my heart, it taught me a very important lesson about growth and anxiety that I carry with me every day. Progress is not a straight line.

#celeste

An art nouveau style picture of Madeline, the protagonist of the game Celeste, and Badeline, the antagonist. They're both depicted from the side while their long hair wafts and coils out along the frame of the picture. In the background is Mount Celeste at night. The silhouette of a bird can be seen flying from the mountain. In each corner of the picture is an item of significance from the game: a strawberry, a gold feather, a cassette tape on its B side, and a blue crystal heart. At the bottom and top is a post card featuring the name of the game and mountain: Celeste

I contributed quite a few pieces to this collab! The Switch era has got to be one of my absolute favorites in my gaming history. It was an honor to get to participate in this send off. Here's to the Switch 2...

should repost more of my stuff here

here's the celeste 3d movement prototype i made the other year... posted it just after the actual celeste 64 was released

3d celeste is a very interesting design challenge, it makes sense they went "open" for their jam game, especially in the time frame.

Celeste drawing I made for a Halloween Collab last year!
#celestegame #fanart

Colorful Gold-Red-Purple Drawing of Celeste characters, Madeline and Theo sitting on a couch watching horror movies, they both have a scared/surprised expression reacting to the movie. By the right of the couch is a small cupboard with a red cup on top, and next to the left side of the couch on the floor by Madeline is the bottle of soda and a purple cup. In the back plastered in the wall is a moon poster.

Madeline is sitting cross legged, hair and cowlick pointy out of surprised, she's holding a bowl of Doritos/nachos on her legs.

Theo is jumping back in fun scary surprise, he has one leg on the couch and the other down, he's holding a small bowl of popcorn thats jumping out of the bowl by his startle.

I try not to ask for much but I'd like Twitch to introduce a new mechanic called "Talking Stick" that lets a streamer make it so only 1 user can send messages (or at least are all highlighted) for a set time. The first way I would use this is so when I show fanart we can all see what the artist says
