@Jupiter_Hadley @watawatabou @HekkeranSharp @AmericanZomboid Thanks for making these overview compilations!

Lighting in a voxel renderer feels like a cheat. All the light sources in the night scenes are dynamic point lights with full shadow casting. And it actually renders faster than the shadows from the single direct light in the day scene. Should be even faster for spot lights.

My #procjam entry this year is a #voxelart castle generator. I've added some animations to help me debug the algorithms, but got mesmerised by them and decided to make them a feature of the tool.

I don't even remember why did I add heightmap interpolation on change, but it is fun to see the effect of enabling layers of noise

I've made a simple voxel landscape generator as PROCJAM 2022 entry, then a mountain generator for PROCJAM 2023.
Now, I used these as starting points to make a more advanced generator https://t.co/y7m72uXjtY

If ◯ is ◯ you would think that a smaller circle must be ˆ
Wrong! That is ^
And a circle ○ is ○
There is also the smallest circle ∘ and obviously it is ∘

I guess C in HTML stands for Consistency

@mtrc Angband automates it with a rather robust run command that moves you through a room or a twisty corridor. It also works for the unexplored parts of dungeon, stopping once something interesting appears in sight.
The game has large levels & it would be a chore to navigate otherwise

In aviation a plane makes a stall warning by shaking the control column.
It makes me wonder if I should make the dev build shake the gamepad as a performance warning when a frame stalls for more than 16ms.
Too bad the mice don't have rumble motors.

@SebAaltonen If you are rich enough, it's the opposite of losing. Buying cheap stuff would not deduct from your account. Just don't buy in bulk, only a single item per order.

@erin_catto The last time I used Box2D it was for a 2D space combat game where once something starts moving there is no stopping. On the other hand, the number of collisions per frame is very low and usually leads to immediate destruction of at least one colliding object.

Looking for some information on the government sites, I accidentally stumbled upon Minecraft maps provided there. I am too sleepy to install Minecraft and run through Visby right now. I can't believe it is the officials who did it.

My dream was choppy and had an FPS counter.
It was displaying 15.
I woke up so I can see it some day later, once I upgrade the video card.

I randomly became aware that Patapon was released on ps4 and immediately tried to find a disc to buy. But it seems they changed graphics for the remaster a bit more than usual

[Ilya Belyy @idbelyy]

@mtrc There is an emulator for the original PS3 Demons' Souls. Apparently, the traffic was not encrypted back then https://t.co/gIujlSjcEH

Slow or imprecise?
Why not both!

Exactly 10 years ago we together with @OnixJet and a a help of a few other twitterless people made a game for a competition https://t.co/ksL90P4Gdv Because I stopped paying for the domain name, I'm moving it to itch

Two errors cancel each other in real life as well as in programming. I've suddenly realised the pie must be a cinder by now, only to find out it is not because I forgot to turn on the oven.

I used the voxel house generator I wrote for #procjam (https://t.co/8QHHBq94VF) to populate a city scene in #magicavoxel using similar, but unique apartment buildings

[Ilya Belyy @idbelyy]

My entry for #procjam is a generator that load a file with parts made in MagicaVoxel and uses a few rules to combine them into a house that can be downloaded https://t.co/8QHHBq94VF
Rules are customisable as well as the parts file
