Testing out lightning rework in my game Grenade has a modifier on it so it has a chance to emit lightning The word "Signs" conducts electricity because it is made of metal #gamedev #indiedev #sandbox #roguelite

I hear folks like cool lighting videos Here is a cool lighting video It is from my multiplayer roguelite, Signs of Danger, and you have permission to 1/2 #gamedev #indiedev #graphics

read the devlog about the lighting at slowrush.dev/news/light-and-… but ONLY once you have wishlisted at store.steampowered.com/app/3… Thank you for your attention and compliance with this important social contract 2/2

Made players have a better flashlight for dark levels Uses same ray extension acceleration structure as the radiance cascades isotropic lighting but in a separate draw / tracing per flashlight Looks way better than the old impl (1/2) #indiedev #gamedev

Older impl wrote spotlight lighting to each of 4 directions of radiance cascades lighting input That performed better but the light's cone grew to 180 degrees when aiming diagonally Probably the reduced perf in the new impl is worth it with only a couple of players 2/2

Maybe a little too much upwards force #gamedev #indiedev #bug

I made a UI for my #noita -like and it was bad. I made it slightly less bad. That is worth some words! #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

Who would have thought that when a programmer designs a user interface, it's mostly only intelligible to programmers? Not this programmer, that's for sure.

If you're in #Perth , come to Tokyo Alley on May 9th or 10th to playtest Signs of Danger in person! real soldiers aren't afraid of bright pastel colours

Ported my #noita -like from #macroquad to #SDL and #WGPU over the last 2 months And multi-threaded the heck out of it too. GIF-heavy devlog: slowrush.dev/news/porting-pe… #indiedev #gamedev

So my #noita -like is 100% deterministic (for multiplayer netcode) Hacked up time travel as a debug tool: so awesome being able to replay backwards w/ full debug info and explore alternative timelines! how about a "rewind 5 secs when you die" perk #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

Reworked character controller on my #noita -like to run directly against the falling sand pixels No kinematic bodies for movement -> 20% speed up! Looking forward to spamming a bucket load of enemies now #indiedev #gamedev #roguelite

Added this "chaos mode" to my #noita -like roguelite for benchmarking the falling sand physics 60 times a second it spawns some material, triggers an explosive, spawns or kills an enemy, etc. It's actually surprisingly fun? in slowmo #gamedev #indiedev #fallingsand #roguelite

Graphics programming is such a weird beast Even when you stuff it up you get cool results Here the radiance cascades lighting for my #noita -like suddenly gained a disco mode, but only at certain screen resolutions #gamedev #indiedev #shaders #wtf

Started out trying to solve a minor bug of players getting mixed up Ended up making my own gamepad-compatible UI framework with animations and localization: slowrush.dev/news/uis-player… Taffy-powered, iced-inspired: immediate API, retained UI under the hood #gamedev #indiedev #rust

Accidentally got a parallax terrain effect for my #noita -like Except it's in front of terrain instead of behind it Definitely file under "shader accidents not worth keeping" #gamedev #indiedev #shaders

When you give a #noita player access to your game's version of wandcrafting, but you haven't actually balanced it yet #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite

My equiv of #noita 's wandcrafting is coming along Signs can trigger other Signs - hopefully this tree is clearer to players than Noita's wand draw rules? Force directed tree was too springy so trying out Reinhold-Tillford trees here instead! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite

Prototyping a new take on my equiv of #noita 's wandcrafting Instead of a linearish wand with insanely complicated draw rules for spells, maybe I directly show what Signs can trigger other Signs as a tree? This tree is a bit too springy though! #gamedev #indiedev #roguelite
