Hi all, One of my backers and a fellow indie dev, Wulum, is currently running a Kickstarter for a game of their own
https://t.co/vo1kXdBa2Y
The team is just him, a concept artist, & a composer.
It's only been live a few days, & they're already over 25% funded with 140 backers. :)

Realized I hadn't posted this one here. Just a little gif of a mechanic I was prototyping.

Gable composes a pattern of luminous tiles. :)

Realized I hadn't mentioned it here on Twitter yet.

@MJunkieGaming Hey VGamingJunkie, thanks for trying out my game. :)

[Fisholith @Fisholith]

@IndieGamePicks @CSH_Picone @Steam @session_seven @cloakanddaggerg @strateture @TheStrategyInf1 @sensational965 Oh cool, thanks @IndieGamePicks! :)
I'll have to check out the others.

[Fisholith @Fisholith]

The 2-dev voxel-art indie game I mentioned a while back, GO Heroes, is now on Kickstarter!

The devs have been very supportive of Down Ward and other indie projects, and just seem to be really cool people. :)

[Rogue Titan ✨ Wishlist on Steam @roguetitan_game]

Big #news! GO Heroes Trailer is finally here! We're super happy to announce that our #Kickstarter campaign starts on the 29th of June!

All support (RT, ♥️) is super appreciated!

@thedeivore Thanks Stephen! :)
The warping ring is a distortion shader effect. The raw effect is to zoom in any imagery behind it. However the amount of zoom can be influenced by the source image, on a per pixel basis. Here I'm using a white ring fading outward to black.

Wanted to mention solo-dev Stevie's game Zapling is about 90% funded on Kickstarter with 6 days left.

There's a demo, boss skull/ability collecting, procedurally wiggly legs, and perhaps most importantly twin-stick dancing. :)

[HERETIC'S RAPTURE - NINE FINGER GAMES @9fingergames]

Okay now I'm starting to sweat.
Final week on Kickstarter & 80% Funded!

https://t.co/0DNtwQmQ8v

Please retweet this, share it with your friends, and maybe even back the project yourself. I'm blown away by the support we have received.

I appreciate every single one of you.

[Fisholith @Fisholith]

@CaballolD Well, the nice thing about roads is that their complexity only grows roughly linearly with size. A single road stripe is like 1 extra row of polys in the side-rails, which is not bad actually. So geo might actually be an okay way to go, & more flexible.

[Fisholith @Fisholith]

@psilynt Interesting. Yeah, a global electronic shutter makes sense for high frame rate video where you don't want rolling shutter effects. Thanks for the info. :)

[Fisholith @Fisholith]

I was curious what the shutter speed was on the Mars Helicopter's nav cam.

In the shadow photo, we can see the blades moving with a bit of motion blur. In this shot, they seem to move about 3 degrees. At 2600 rpm, that's 1/5200th sec shutter. Pretty fast! :)

@MIncognito789 Oh cool. Yeah I've still been updating it. I actually released a few updates during the Kickstarter even. :)
Mainly I've been focusing on smoothing out the difficulty in places. Though one of the main things is that the three Hourglass Game modes are unlocked by default now.

[Fisholith @Fisholith]

Down Ward funded all 4 original stretch goals, and is still going. :)
24 hours left!

I've added one last stretch goal. Thanks to all who have supported in any way, by pledge or word of mouth!

@GheralfSwiftwar Haha! It is indeed, Gheralf!
And I celebrated with some much needed sleep! :D
Thanks for all the encouragement, and the very generous support, and for just generally being a cool person that I'm glad to know. :)
