🎉 QUANTUM JOE IS OUT NOW! 🎉 store.steampowered.com/app/3272180/Qu…

@Jakob_Wahlberg @DeveloperPerso3 Would Houdini be running the art pass on the fly in-engine or exported once done from Houdini to game engine? Geometry nodes flow in blender is fully non-destructive proc gen if you’re looking for other potential options

@DeveloperPerso3 The idea would be to leverage the houdini api to enable using my blockout mesh as input to dynamically generate a more refined mesh to increase level design iteration speed. Essentially to decrease destructive workflows and maintain a degree of flexibility.

Not sure how I should approach the art pass on levels. I should probably learn Houdini.

@HuinGuillaume This was super rad and even more impressive with so much practical work! Thanks for sharing :D

Thank you for all your comments and questions on my post last week and I really hope this behind the scenes of the McDonaldland new TV commercial was helpful! I'll try to answer other questions as they come, but busy launch day!

McDonaldland is back for the first time in decades with a brand new commercial. Many asked if it was AI so I am going to share the step by step behind the scenes of how it came to life. 🧵

@DanFessler I’m super torn on this one. I think contemporary culture has become obsesses with tools and a lot of time the people shouting the loudest about AI conflating what it can DO with what the output MEANS to them and the viewer

Is AI art? Honestly, the label doesn't matter to me. What matters is what's valued - by the creator and consumer. If creators don't value the process, that's fine. I don't in its current form, either. Some people do, and who am I to say they shouldn't?

Just replayed some of Quantum Joe and damn... I'm still super proud of it! I poured a lot more heart into it than I had expected to, and imo it shows. #gamedev #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3272180/Qu…

Before shot included for progress comparison :)

More environment progress! Everything takes exponentially longer in 3D but every little bit makes it feel that much more alive #gamedev #indiedev

I live here now ✨ 🏘️ #gamedev #indiedev

Been really hitting a stride with environment art! So far really exciting results with modular pieces I've managed to make so far. Only 1000 more to go 🥹 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Been getting a lot done with this project! I can now program questlines, cutscenes, day/night cycles pass, and more. As a treat I've done some environment art to mix it up. Here's my SUPER rough first pass at the day/night lighting #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

Do people like seeing this early in-progress development? I feel like I really love it, but that's the game *developer* in me talking more than the game *consumer*

The only certain things in life are death, taxes and getting sick when your toddler gets sick.

Roughing out quests and world events and some really basic NPC logic to facilitate it! #solodev #indiedev

@ajgenerated They're dope ass hell, keep going!

I can't stop making these

@crowpunt Thanks so much! Yeah one of my primary goals was to have dialogue integrated with the environment wherever possible. Glad people are picking up on that and liking it!

@threesided Very cool, it works nice with the art style, I've always liked the dialogue systems with the bubbles over the character's heads instead of the standard text in a box at the bottom of the screen.

Made a lot of progress on conversation systems for my next project! Took a few iterations to get there, but I'm pretty happy with where it's at now. #gamedev #indiedev

@keithwhor Yeah, bit of both most likely. Not really optimizing anything yet since so much is still WIP

@threesided framerate looks low? just artefact of recording / build?

Small detour to play around with environment block out. Trying to figure out shapes, color etc. but still all rough WIP obviously. Happy with the progress nonetheless! #gamedev #indiedev
