I fear progress may slow now as it has become too much fun to test.😅Some basic AI in place to fight against now and getting your dodge timing right to return a counterblow feels quite rewarding, though all needs more tweaking/polish, of course. #gamedev #madewithunity #indiedev

Got a first version of waterfalls working! Really fun to see the water react and new little ponds and waterfalls form as you edit the terrain.

Next I’ll look at some better shading, VFX and solving lots and lots and lots of edge cases.

Making a simple but comprehensive character controller for Unity which can be a hurdle for a lot of people starting out. Handles slopes, stairs, platforms that move, rotate, and stretch. I'll put it in a public repo when its all finished. #GameDev #IndieDev #ScreenShotSaturday

Lerp is used everywhere in games. It’s simple, but combined with a few small tricks it becomes incredibly powerful.

This thread is full of visual examples.

@AINTNOWAYDOTGIF @BenjiGameDev That's certainly one way to say you don't know anyone who knows what the fuck they're doing and needs 6-fingered hand-holding towards their target from someone with an imagined map generated only on "vibes".

Is this anything?

[Kay 🎨 @KayLousberg]

Just swapping out the model at a specific frame works surprisingly well for a transform animation 😁

Life shouldn't give you something this precious, someone you love this much, and then take them away again. But I'd take all the heartbreak again for the time we did have. I hope SO MUCH he's doing OK and finds his way home but I'll keep him with me the only way I can until then.

Aforementioned cats.

[Never Rest Studio @NeverRestStudio]

Got my 1st tattoo yesterday (will be a while before it looks its best, but already really happy with it). It's for my cats, who I ironically now have to be careful to keep it away from, haha. The lily is for Tiger Lily and the needle is for Boc (after the seamster in Elden Ring).

I was heartbroken and blindsided when I learned that my job was no more on the morning of February 19th. This is not the ending to the journey I had dreamt of and committed myself to seeing through — not by a long shot. But despite the confusion and sadness, I know there’s something new on the horizon for me.

This isn’t the end, and I’m excited to discover a new path — but I need your help! If you need a passionate, dedicated and loyal Game Developer or know someone who does, hit me up!

Thank you.
Here’s a glimpse of what I bring to the table.
