@AnalogDreamDev Looks really good! Such a nice idea. Could have used a prettier sample scene perhaps though to demonstrate "scenic" a bit better

Retro Game Engine Update 🔥 Exploring a Spatial Compression system in my game engine. Instead of changing object scale, the renderer subtly compresses distant depth in the vertex shader before projection. The goal is to make far-away spaces feel more scenic and theatrical, like a matte painting or miniature set,while keeping nearby space physically grounded and navigable. Same exact scene with this on/off for comparison. What do you think?

Worked on this dog for fun over the weekend because I got tired of the main project🐶 #unity3d

we jammed a herding game on the weekend. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

Update: Here's a sped up video of me creating a rooftop in our Level Editor (skip to the end to see me walking around in it). The Editor is coming along very nicely. Still tons of stuff to do, but its far enough that we're transitioning into Production now.

@AlexGoodwinDev Looks sick!

That last-second hit was kinda goofy. Not sure what I expected, honestly. Hazards are procedural btw, every ride turns out a little different.

@KenneyNL I’ve been following you for years and love what you do for the game dev space, especially all your amazing assets. This shoutout means the world to me! 😭

Wanted to share this game I found with all of you, it's obviously based on Mirror's Edge but...

@Johannemusic I wish as well, but no concrete plans yet 🫠

@ayellowpaper This is so cool, will you guys make co-op an option? i always wanted to play parkour games with my friends 🥺

More progress on tools, objects and paint in our editor for players

@B1RDOCC That’s the plan! We’re looking into options to have pretty GI for players, but it’s not as trivial as one might think. We hope to get it though 👏

@ayellowpaper Awesome, so the game will support steam workshop right? Will the map a user create have bounce light too? I saw the gameplay on Steam and it looked like pre-baked lighting or RTGI. Will the user maps be able to pre-bake lighting too? Kinda like Portal 2 does ^^

@kinjalkishor Each paint is its own material. We then generate a mesh at runtime with each paint having its own sub mesh. So basically just a bunch of quads

@ayellowpaper How are faces selectively colored or they just textures?

@LarAtLarian I hope you can find the courage to ignore the loud minority of ideologists who have the black and white morality of 5 year olds where “all AI is bad”, and instead just spend your energy on making more incredible, creative games as you have done so far!

It’s been a week since we announced Divinity, our next RPG, and a lot has become lost in translation. Larian’s DNA is agency. Everything we work towards is to the benefit of our teams, games, and players. A better work day, and a better game. Our successes come from empowering people to work in their own way and bring the best out of their skill & craft, so that we can make the best RPGs we can possibly make. In that context, it would be irresponsible for us not to evaluate new technologies. However, our processes are always evolving, and where they are not efficient or fail to align with who we are, we will make changes. To give you more insight, we’ll do an AMA featuring our different departments after the holiday break, in which you’ll get the opportunity to ask us any questions you have about Divinity and our dev process directly. We’ll announce the date in the new year. In the meantime, I wish you all happy holidays!

@Demo1FPS @niklasbellok That’s a great idea! Gonna land on the to-do list

@niklasbellok May I ask to please put back the wallclimb sidestep move you could do in Mirror's Edge but was removed in Catalyst? Essentially doing a vertical wall climb then pressing left or right + jump to turn 90° and jump to the sides !

Critical additions to our game: - Airplanes - Antenna masts

Our objects will now stick to building blocks when editing. Yay! 🥳

I love doing these little worldbuilding thingies

@niklasbellok If you wanna check it out, it's here 👉👈 store.steampowered.com/app/3073760/Gl…

Glimpse into our game in 10 seconds

What a guy

A practical example of how it's used in our Editor

Instead of predefined ladders, we decided to add procedural ladders🪜

@vishwa_glitch PIck an engine that you like, Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot. Then pick a game you would love to make and go through the learning materials for the engines. Lots of good stuff out there

@ayellowpaper Can you teach me or help learn game development

The Level Editor for our game is getting in to shape. Yes, it's for players 🫦
