Intro: I am an artist who founded an indie studio & became a game dev, XR dev, volumetric filmmaker, & community organizer. My game reached number 3 on the App Store. I have played significant roles in projects that were Emmy-nominated, exhibited internationally, & had a substantial cultural impact.

Towerbound is live, free, and playable in Browser. freezebeam.itch.io/towerbound

It's a bite-sized Tower Building / Tower Defense Roguelite Deckbuilder. Take a 20 minute Silk Song break and see if you can finish a run.

Come join our artist Annie and senior engineer Ian on how animations and the details of each of them brought the unique worlds of CIPHER ZERO to life!

A screenshot of CIPHER ZERO's opening area, Lake, done in a minimalist design and colors. A grey and lonely lake, vague shapes of mountains in the distance, multiple phases of the moon is seen in the grey sky.. Rocks of hard edges jut out of the water's surface, as sunbeams cast themselves over one of the rocks. A green train races across the surface and continues on off screen. A telescope sits in the foreground, aimed out towards the open lake.

A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO of the Road section, done in minimalist colors and designs. A road crosses the screen from left to right, open dumpsters in the foreground along a chain link fence. An elevated train platform can be seen behind the road, as well as an elevated highway, lined with street lights.

A screenshot from CIPHER ZERO, done in black and white with shades of grey. A 2x3 square grid puzzle is shown, a filled in diamond in the upper left square, while an empty diamond is in the lower right. A single mark sits above the upper right square. In the background, the upside image of a lake is shown, squared off rocks jutting out of the water.

Does anyone know if the #unity VFX Graph renders fewer particles on iOS? I’m not sure what’s happening, perhaps it’s a settings issue or some kind of limitation, but when building to an M4 iPad Pro, most of the particles in a complex system don’t seem to render.

something people don't talk much about in this era of "publishers expecting a near-finished game before investing" is

games are being made sub-optimally in order to speed-run vertical slices/convincing demos

instead of finalising systems then building content, you have to make content alongside 1/

Just in case anyone thinks of using the terrible Ghibli AI nonsense.
