starbi

Spilled! is now out on Steam! I've been working with @LenteGameDev to do the graphics. My first release featuring 3D Pixel Art. I hope you check it out and enjoy. (or try the free demo) store.steampowered.com/app/2240080/Sp…

i turned the sun off #gamedev #madewithunity

@NicolasZu it uses common pixel art 'rules', hue shifting for example. but the final colors are all hand-picked

@starbi_dev How do you create color palettes that are so good?

trying out different colors for my grass :^) #pixelart #gamedev #madewithunity

@sixthorns It's 3d rendered, so yes the terrain slope has a different normal so its darker / brighter based on sun angle

@starbi_dev It looks good, is the color gradient based on the slope of the terrain?

@BongersChris1 definitely something were thinking about!

@starbi_dev Nice would be cool to represent seasons maybe?

@DayBrief the whole game uses like 50 colors, so we could do alternative palettes...

@starbi_dev when in doubt add a setting for it in a customize panel so the user can decide 🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe some days they might want green maybe some days they want to change it to purple idk make a default option then make the color change optional to players is what if do. sick game btw

my cat found a cool stick that looks like a gun (i flipped a stick sprite)

@softboy7music how i feel with my game rn. lets get through it!!

Yo I know it's been pretty quiet from my side atm but I'm drowning in paperwork. Turns out making music is like the least difficult part of being a musician.

@artem_sini39436 squishing the cat like that is so satisfying

Every NPC in my game even animals - has procedural animations💫 #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d

@Dogedevnet real

It looks awesome, but OVERDRAW HELL 😭

@reddRockman thank you! there will be more soon :^)

@starbi_dev No ok seriously after seeing more, what game is this. I need to wishlist it yesterday

making a hole darker with a shadow lasagna not the best solution, just a bunch of transparent cubes slapped together, but worked better than I expected 🦧 #gamedev #pixelart #madewithunity

@RhetoricalHype actually thought about implementing it kind of like this if i do it properly. basically placing fake GI in parts of the world.

@starbi_dev if it works it works. I like how you can achieve this in Blender using lights with a negative power value.

@SeaCritDev yes, this was just me being lazy for an experiment, and a one-off shot for a certain something in the future

@starbi_dev Please refactor this, use depth fade (u can use a gradient step function if you want to keep that look), a single plane, and never speak of this again XD (Overlaying transparencies that aren't additive are the #1 way to destroy runtime performance)

@CyberKomodo thats true... dont tell anyone the raymarched volumetric fog was in the lit shader instead of a post process pass before this 🦧

@starbi_dev On modern machines it won’t matter much but there is some performance impact to stacking many layers of transparent meshes like this due to overdraw

@LenteGameDev thanks

@starbi_dev according to google AI A "goober" is a slang term for a silly, foolish, naive, or goofy person, often used affectionately rather than maliciously. It also refers to a peanut (or goober pea).

yeeting goobers out of the water (they like it i promise)

@holypersondev holy shit a post where its not golden hour!!!!!!!!

It is now possible to place buildings on top of other buildings. You can even make John Tower 😮 #gamedev #madewithunity

the well's edge being lit by the campfire👌 #pixelart #madewithunity #gamedev

@FrogguccinoGame its just a shader for unity's terrain system. the small details on top are another system I wrote that just read terrain data (among other things)

@starbi_dev Is it your own terrain system with tesselation etc., or is it just a shader for unity's terrain system? Because its really impressive! and i've had to tackle with similar issues recently

How I painted the world from my previous post! 🌼🖌️ Had to make my own tools because of the special shaders. But it's all procedural, chunked, and GPU instanced now. >:3 #gamedev #pixelart #madewithunity
