Physics I know #gamedev #indiedev

This post is a political statement with political intent. It's way more political than POC characters simply existing in games. It's also pandering to a crowd of people with very specific politics. But keep going off about how you don't want politics in games I guess 🤷‍♀️

@paleobons Touch some grass

I was joking when I wrote about other side but yesterday I had too much time.. apparently going down a steep cliff is way more dangerous than going up... 🥹🤣🤣

Found a cool trail for running in the hills :D

Took me way longer than I expected, but I finally finished my Inventory overhaul. Adding the Drag and Drop Item Management was a bit of a challenge within my UI System, but besides a handful of visual tweaks, I am really happy with the result. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

@turanszkij Stylish 😎

Added this GUI highlight effect to Wicked Editor:

I've updated my article on mipmapping alpha-tested textures with my recent SDF experiments! Spoiler: I ended up settling on an SDF-based method 🥰 lisyarus.github.io/blog/posts/exp…

If you like what I am doing, which I hope you do, you are welcome to follow me on an X alternative site!

Preparing something for the last devlog of this year :3 #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

@ChShersh This is some sort of gate keeping

Nowadays, it’s even more important to avoid fud spread by AI grifters. CS is fundamentals and won’t change. If anything, it’s the most important skill you can learn as a future SWE.

Multiplatform SDL 2.0.1 is out now with full first-class support for Linux, macOS and Windows! :) git.karmakrafts.dev/kk/multiplatfo…

I'm late for ~7 months, but I've finally published my C++ & WebGPU raytracer on GitHub! I've tried to keep the code fairly commented and readable. It works pretty well, but I've never managed to make refractions work with VNDF. Maybe another time :) github.com/lisyarus/webgp…

@jakubtomsu_ Yeah, was blown away when I learned these are microcontrollers

the crazy part is your SIM card can install and run simple apps, update firmware and do all sorts of other communication with the provider without your phone even knowing

My SDL3 bindings for Kotlin/Native are now publicly available! Grab em while they're hot :D git.karmakrafts.dev/kk/multiplatfo…

Finally texts on cars Behind the scenes this requires separate mesh data for text which uses its own texture and shader. But the user will never see that part. #gamedev #indiedev #chunkcity #ad

@lisyarus Sometimes hardcoding mesh gen isn't that bad

Got an idea on how to simplify that, though!

What a lovely thatched roof model! It would be a shame if it was composed of 46 separate copies of 11 different reusable mesh pieces, wouldn't it? It also seems that I'll need like 5x more of these to accommodate all possible roof geometries 🥶 #indiedev

@Kangar00ish @tsoding he does all the time

@tsoding mista tsoding, when are you making your own lang

I really like how my latest Jai stream aroused so many Odin fans. I should program in Jai more...

Having too much fun with particles #gamedev #indiedev

@zzeljkokos Looks really polished

City-building is coming to life in Pompeii: The Legacy! 🏛️ Here's a glimpse of the evolving UI as I work toward a fully playable experience. Every detail brings us closer to the ancient Roman world! What do you think so far? 👀✨ #IndieGame #CityBuilder

This bad boy spits out texture atlases #gamedev #indiedev

@SoundsLikeEli It's the result of a bug in terrain smoothing. I'll keep it as long as possible.

@ChunkDev Absolutely loving the Tower of Babel in the distance

In gamedev there's this saying that you don't really own your project until you implemented a custom particle system for it #gamedev #indiedev

Like most stuff smoke can be edited in real time directly in the editor #gamedev #indiedev
