Dev here, it's actually a bit complex. The main puzzle is multiple combined static immovable meshes. When pieces are moved they are temporary physics pieces that get merged back in once settled.

This fixes that problem and allows 10,000+ unique shaped pieces to be drawn at once with high FPS.

I've created entire worlds in Unreal Engine, but there is something so much more magical about creating your first 3d cube on your own with just OpenGL and C++

Everyone welcome the first cube of our new game!

Just played through Splinter Cell again the other day. Hopefully your new game also brings back the style of hard shadows :)

Watched Cloverfield (2008) again and I didn't expect it to hold up so well. Still a great movie to this day.

Nice to watch a movie with deep blacks and colors again compared to so many digital dull movies today. No One Will Save You (2023) a recent example of the dull slop pushed out nowadays.

Starting a new game but still constantly updating and adding new stuff to my favorite cozy game I made. "Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams" - the flight simulator of Jigsaw Puzzle Games 😀

These are stickers from tons of different indie games like Celeste, Baba Is You, Project Zomboid, Spin Rhythm XD, and many more. Picture is showing all the indie game stickers in the Jigsaw Puzzle Game sticker pack that so many awesome indie devs allowed us to include in the game.

I'll never forget that devs from one of my favorite games ever (Spin Rhythm XD) not only allowed us to include stickers of their game, they actually played OUR game and made this staircase of puzzle pieces leading up to the stickers!

One of the coolest things to happen. Thanks @superspin.digital

Here is a wip progress concept (create back in 2011). As usual real life happened and had to be abandoned.

Some things like the idea for an in game music player did make it's way over to Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams at least.

Anyone else getting tired of the dullness of modern movies?

Recently watched "No One Will Save You" and while I liked the movie the non-contrast of everything really made everything that much duller.

Like where are the dark shadows?
Screenshot of the movie "No One Will Save You". Shows a woman in the corner of a room that is at night time, but everything in the room is has a dull light to it, even though it's the dead of night.
