Shards of Ascension

@SophiaTinney I really want to buy a physical copy of kingdoms but the postage to Sweden is kinda bonkers, hope this extra publicity results in a distribution deal 🙏

OMFG KINGDOMS GOT CALLED OUT IM CRYING YALL ARE TOO SWEET ❤️❤️😭❤️

Dragons first animation heyyo! Drew this sprite so long ago, feels great to finally get it a tiny step into the game! #ShardsOfAscension #pixelart #gameart #ドット絵 #madewithunity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #rpg #indiegaming #indiewatch #indiegaming #procgen

Cozy chilling by the fireplace with my cat :) #ShardsOfAscension #pixelart #gameart #ドット絵 #madewithunity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #rpg #indiegaming #indiewatch #indiegaming #cozy #cat

New trees! New terrain materials needed updated trees and I'm really happy with how they turned out! #ShardsOfAscension #pixelart #gameart #ドット絵 #madewithunity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #rpg #indiegaming #indiewatch #indiegaming

@MoonfrostGame Very nice! How does it work with elevation? Is the elevation also per vertex or is that per tile still?

Each tile is split into quarters. This allows us to create a vaster amount of unique settings, whilst having the tiles work in unison. #gamedev

@ENDESGA bottom 100%, "I would like a window and these are it's properties" instead of "I would like a window, now change it's properties to this"

there's something subtly different about how these two ways of initialisation present themselves. I'm curious, which one feels the most explicit and clear?

@totzro I've seen some people use grow tents, I'm planning on getting a printer this summer but I'll keep it in the garage so I probably need some heating too so a tiny volume would be great.

@totzro update me on the smell levels please and thank you

@wrmaiden We had an opportunity to go to the movies and there was nothing else of interest showing. Maybe it just launched at the exact right time to get the "oh well avatar I guess" money?

@Srekel @KennyPirman I'll jump in the discord and we'll see how it goes :)

@startselect__ @KennyPirman I'll try to do it monthly, so in about two weeks :) Me and @KennyPirman actually got on a call last time he asked so I could show him the books live. ^^ Maybe we could have a monthly discord (discord.gg/rzByav6Y7Z) call/event thingie about this in sync with the newsletter?

Thank you @Srekel for the recommendations! Time build some #procgen cities!

@Srekel @KennyPirman I would love some more recommendations, when is the next newsletter coming? :)

@KennyPirman Haha nice! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Are you at that stage in development now? And let me know if you want more recommendations :)

@TrevorDikes @wrmaiden I damaged my elbow carrying mine from the post office. it's worth it.

@TrevorDikes umeå <3

@ADM3PLAY Yes I have! And setting the vegetation ablaze!

@startselect__ Just an idea, have you tought of making the fire leave some small portions of flame behind in the ground?

I believe dragons fire should be something more than just another attack, just got to add it setting things on fire :) #ShardsOfAscension #pixelart #gameart #ドット絵 #madewithunity #unity3d #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #rpg #indiegaming #indiewatch #indiegaming

@Oriru_Bastard They are spawned in a 3d cone rn, hence the different depths, and I kinda like the randomness of that tbh :)

@startselect__ Hmm... Try reversing the depth value of those flames so that older ones stay above the newer ones.

@andrew_chason Yes that's the plan, and hopefully set all the vegetation ablaze!

@fo50live Really wish I was at that point, but I only work on it in my spare time so am still quite a bit off. Really glad you appreciate it though! 🙏

@startselect__ Don't know what this is but looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥if you need testers, where do i sign up, looks raw🔥🔥🔥💯🇭🇹❤️

@OfNagash 2023 year of nagash comeback?

Lovely game tonight with Nagash against SCE Annihilators in Twists and Turns. Rally kept me in the game and some lucky flips in the end made it 23-21 to Nagash.

@Ultraporing Amen! It's def possible but I'm not sure it's viable to create the extra assets. But spawning appropriately sized fires on things should be less asset intense.

@startselect__ You know what probably would look even cooler when the fire turns the grass ect to ash/scorched earth afterwards and trees to charred husks :D.
