Our #gamedev podcast and our game development online practice program are still going strong (...27 remote team games released in 2020 on 2-6 month schedules, 28 in 2021, 35 in 2022, 25 in 2023, a bunch already this year) but we're in the process of moving fully to the other site

"greebling" is truly one of life's sweet pleasures.

today on a @hometeamgamedev project I used a triplanar shader on random-sized cubes (UVs are world coords so no stretching) that I setup to be a kind of unreal terrain "foliage" lol! now we can mass-spraypaint them EVERYWHERE!

[Christer McFunkypants Kaitila @McFunkypants]

we're making a cool turn-based war strategy tactics game at @HomeTeamGameDev and it is slowly coming together! #gamedev #html5 today I implemented a tile highlight effect and drew some mountains

[Christer McFunkypants Kaitila @McFunkypants]

I'm really proud of this awesome superhero game we just finished making at @HomeTeamGameDev ! Made by a dozen people in unreal over a period of five months.

- you are Captain Stardust
- save the city from evil!
- help deliver pizza!
- throw cars around!

created something cool today at @HomeTeamGameDev!

blender project that displaces a cube-sphere (nice UV coords: no pinching at poles) via a noise modifier which uses the pos of an "empty" blender object as the "random seed", so you can move it around to generate infinite rocks

I've said it many times before but I love starting each week with a nice relaxing coffee and the @HomeTeamGameDev progress report videos for each project I am helping out on! lets me plan the week ahead and see all the cool #gamedev everyone else did last week!

just coded the classic Gauntlet exit animation for a new js game I'm helping make at the @hometeamgamedev community!

always loved that spin and fade to black, it was like falling into a wormhole. I can almost hear the arcade sound effect #gamedev
