New eyes are les polys and much smoother looking, Can get soem really cool looks with these new eyes. #ChessBoys #gamedev #blender #b3d

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

Haven't worked on Chess boys in a while butt getting back into it with #godot. very early and basic movement is working in the godot version. #ChessBoys #gamedev

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

Starting to get the hang of animation systems in #godot. Pawn now get ready when selected. Although its not the same as ray tracing getting good looking results with the voxel GI. #gamedevelopment #ChessBoys

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

last video was the last ever for the unity build of #ChessBoys starting over in #GodotEngine as I've stated before. Doesn't look like much but being able to select pieces is back in the game and I'm so happy. #gamedevs

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

60+fps 1440p raytraced shadows and reflections no TAA or DLSS and this is still very early and unoptimized. My Capture is only at 30fps though. Kind of going for an early 90s CGI look. #madewithunity #3Danimation #gamedev #ChessBoys

[MonitorHeadStudios @RealMonitorHead]

Making Progress in the switch to #GodotEngine #ChessBoys

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

So right now all you can do is spawn pawns. Already though the systems in place are a foundation that is much better then my unity build. Each tile knows its name and if there is a piece on it (as show on the left) #GodotEngine #indiedev #ChessBoys

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

Finally started coding in #Godot Don't have the character movement set up yet like in unity, but the camera is the same and for now you can move the cursor and grab and drag pieces. really liking #GodotEngine #ChessBoys

#GodotEngine Tests for #ChessBoys

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

Thinking of switching #ChessBoys to #GodotEngine so decided to do some rendering test to see if it holds up to what I had in #Unity. I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

I have been using Unity for years personally and professionally and love it. However I will not be upgrading or supporting unity after 2023 LTS. Runtime fee is the same as me buying a loaf of bread and then the bakery charging me for every sandwich I make with that loaf.

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

Little fire and ice. In engine render test. Raytraced real time in unity. #madewithunity #3Danimation #gamedev #ChessBoys

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

Ok had to give a bit more. #blender3d #b3d #3danimation #animation

[Micah Holland @MacchiatoLycan]

Slight improvements make all the difference. When in doubt more bounce. #animation #3danimation #b3d #blender
