Added PBR surface features (roughness, AO, etc) to Shadowglass’ rendering 😍
Will probably tone it down so it doesn’t kill the retro vibes, but fun to see in action!

Project Shadowglass just passed 100K wishlists in its first 4 weeks on Steam.
I don't even know what to say... (but I'll figure it out because you all deserve a proper thank you 💙😭)

Last night the rendering system for Shadowglass got a ~150fps(!!!) performance gain at no cost, and all because @godotengine.org lets us work with its source code 😭

As a game dev, I know I should be all things PC... but honestly consoles have the strengths of being so much more simple to use, which means less in the way of you and the game, and having a standardized spec sheet devs can directly optimize for everyone. Also couches, man.

Whew, made a game from scratch in 4 days! The jam's theme was "Nothing can go wrong".
My experiment was having environmental interactions having an effect on narrative.
It's browser (and on a phone) playable if you care to check it out 😊 dominickjohn.itch.io/omw-home

Later start than I’d like for Brackeys Game jam, but got a full idea and basic controls down!
Making it mostly a mouse / touch controlled game as that’s how i assume most people will be playing these in browser or on a device.

Game devs- Which game wasn't just a game for you, but the spark that made you want to create your own?
