more shader stuff

1 flat plane (4 verts, 2 tris), parallax map offsets stone tex to appear deep below the surface tex. distortion on the surface is also applied to the stone, offset by the PM to the same depth

then blending in various ways to put it all together :D

I can grow fake grass now!!!

all done with @amplifycreations.bsky.social ❤️

slightly longer video BUT it's got captions and pictures to explain stuff, and I think it's p cool

(i swear I'll stop banging on about POM soon but it's been SO much fun to play with)

PARALLAX

obsessed by this. so many possibilities even without the complex fiddly fake 3d w/ occlusion mapping, just a simple flat plane w/ textures.

BGs are from Rayman 1!

music is a lil sketch I was messing around with this afternoon!

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d #PARALLAX

more rendering fun.......FOG

Took a few months off and was overwhelmed loading up unity and figuring out how tf everything i'd set up works so instead I got sidetracked experimenting w/ my other fav PS1 aesthetic...fixed cam + PRE RENDERED BGs 🖼

+ some spooky music I threw together in 5 mins

#gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #PS1

just a little update on the district of machines

still VERY rough - I'm not gonna post every time I make slight changes but I thought the factory sounds were cool

video is me messing around in clipchamp. i'm 100 years old and don't know how to edit videos

held off on SFX for so long, but the difference = huge

bouncy mushroom is my fav 🍄

(ground ray checks coordinates of a secondary UVmap (each face assigned to a portion of a 4*4 grid, 16 total surfaces) + assigns walking sound!

jumping sounds are me! 🎤

thought it was time I showed a real level, not a weird testing environment..

been remodeling this one based on an earlier version from 2019, here's what I have so far - just so you get a vibe of the place

the entrance to THE DISTRICT OF GARDENS 🌳

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #blender #unity3d

I'm either testing fun new ideas, or having a breakdown due to said rewrite. . .

as always, the Gardeners will explain what's new 👩‍🌾

(feat. the new movement system. looks exactly the same (sort of the point) BUT ITS BETTER I SWEAR I WROTE IT FROM SCRATCH)

#gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d #indiedev

BIG update to the sliding system. ⛷️

it's a little rough around the edges, but it already feels better than trying to manually wrestle the camera around corners, or having it try to always be behind the player without constraint.

wheeeeeeeeeee

#gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #unity3d #surfsup

Bouncing has had an update, all done in shader!

Shader checks if player has an isBouncing state + deforms the mesh around the player position.

changed up the vibe of the test environment, just for my own sanity. I painted those rocks!! dead proud

Had a reasonably good idea that the climbable wall surface should warp underneath the player's weight, although it turns out it was harder than I thought...here's the before and after lol

#indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #unity3d #bugfixes

small update but a LOT of work

☑️ climbing! (transition between directions+animation needs work)

☑️ hand painted textures!

☑️ climbing walls can also move!

☑️ selective UV scrolling + cutout transparency! this entire test level is 1 material, and 1 texture

#gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #unity3d

apologies for posting the same thing twice in one day but i've spent all evening/night on this...obsessed with how good it feels now, and there are some upgrades

1) BOUNCY PLATFORMS!
2) BOUNCY PLATFORMS THAT MOVE!
3) SLIDING ANIMATION!
4) SLIDING INTO BOUNCE MOMENTUM!
