There we go, all 219k trees animating smoothly on desktop and mobile with postprocessing on.

@bruno_simon Love this effect. A Short Hike used it to great effect too. https://t.co/5VNH65vs0F

Here's a little trick I've been using to render the ocean in A Short Hike! The water is just a plane that follows the player around. The texture and vertex animations are all done in world space! #madewithunity #gamedev

@garrettkjohnson Is this supported on FF mobile? I have to uncheck the useInstances checkbox to see anything, it's blank otherwise.

@jmrivera02 I get that classifying games into broad genres can be reductive, but for me using more specific qualifiers (like Metroidbrainia in the case of Animal Well) is useful shorthand to draw my attention to harder-to-find experiences in games.

How it started vs how it's going, cherry coffee table edition.

This is definitely the most complex build I've done so far 🫠 Designs, tons of milling, 4 panel glue ups, wide inset drawer, sanding galore. A healthy serving of mistakes that I hopefully learned from.

@wesbos As a JS/TS dev, hard disagree on JS. It breaks down as soon as you start using it on anything moderately trying so it's Harbor Freight/Hercules

@mollygos What's a good place to start with her work?

[Pat @PFarnach]

@FayerDev Nice. Well totally unrelated to Cocoon, I enjoyed Iris and the Giant, and Dicey Dungeons. Both fun, short turn-based games that are easy to pick up/put down while you're traveling.

@0xca0a Now use the Mask component to have different weather conditions on each face of the cube :)

@festivevector Beauty! How do you make it so smooth? Render the particles to a render texture and blur it there? Or just a boat load of particles?

@asidorenko_ Would this also work when using router.push to the same route with new query params?

@XRarchitect @samyam_youtube Hot take: this is terrible. For real, it's like the greatest minds of our generation are bent on finding fun new ways of hawking products.

@gamewillpdx You can do it Hank, one paw in front of the other!

@reduzio @PhiMarHal As someone who's been using Unity for 6 years, both the software and the company behind it have turned into hot garbage, so I'm learning Godot now. Can't imagine I'm alone in thinking this.

@threejs versioning

[Pat @PFarnach]

No one makes a better case for dropping Unity than... checks notes... Unity. Don't keep up with the latest and greatest? Cool, we're gonna throw away 5 years of your projects.

[Pat @PFarnach]

Gotta respect the brazen lack of usefulness here

[Pat @PFarnach]

@threejs If only threejs followed semver we could make cool major release videos like these 😆

tl;dr: Don't lie. Be intentionally vague when it helps you.
