Episode 5 of the #PlanetSmith devlog has just been released. https://t.co/svbcqPcVHE This episode is all about blocks, how to create seamless hexagonal textures for them and how I deal with storing block data.

[Kenneth Ward @burstcompile]

This was one of my favorite parts of the game to work on so far. You get instant feedback to your code changes and small tweaks can make huge difrences.

One of my faster turnaround times to get languages into a game. You forget just how many words there are just for the UI! #IndieGameDev

[PlanetSmith @PlanetSmithGame]

Thanks to a great video by @BobicraftMC we have had a lot of Spanish language speakers playing #PlanetSmith. Because of this we have now added a Spanish translation into the game! You can play it here https://t.co/tIj1cgjQQ1

Stress testing world gen by flying at 360 km/h across the world. Game managed to keep at over 100fps!

Having planets is cool and all but it really makes some simple tasks so hard, especially when I care about performance. Just trying to do a sphere cast on my voxels, super simple with regular voxels… but not for me 🥲🥲🥲
