@Juanher50 Good shit, already watch him!

I can't seem to escape the cycle of creative binge and then burnout. I live in fear of the burnout phase, but I can't seem to stop myself from obsessively working when I'm not in one. I have ADHD and am strongly suspicious of autism. Anyone out there have advice for me?

I fucking love ao

Woooooooo, our tiny game about real-time GI & procgen and shipping Rust & Vulkan is finally out! 🎉🖖🦀

I keep meaning to show you guys how my water simulation shader is actually turning out but I just keep tweaking it instead.

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@DigiHydra I cranked a coefficient 100x and thought it looked strange/interesting, but yes certainly not like water 😆

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

Do you like my water simulation shader?

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

This coefficient that made it look more like water surely will make it look 100x more like water at 100x

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@kendragon255 Videos look terrible too D:

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@ompuco no

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@AHoussainate This could indeed be put in a shaderpack! I'm strongly considering working on this tech to include it in the redesign/rewrite of SEUS.

Been experimenting with heightfield-based water surface simulation, dissatisfied with the usual "ripples on a puddle" look that such simulations usually have

@Squares82532714 I certainly haven't abandoned it, but it isn't my main focus lately. I am still working on it but progress has been slow as it's in the process of a rewrite.

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

A lot of the time I write/modify equations based on vibes. I'll end up with a solution and not know exactly why it works until I prove it to myself later. Is this a self-taught thing, or do formally educated nerds also do it this way?

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@noscoper_sans @_Raptorr My main focus is game development, but I have been working on it on the side. I did reach a bit of a dead end with my latest work on it but I'm exploring some new options.

I've been working on runtime procedural terrain generation for my game as a fresh #godot user. Here are some results of my experiments so far!

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@reduzio @stephc_int13 I'm literally doing this as we speak 😆

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@arvinmoses Thanks! Yep, no shadow casting yet.

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

Here's how my #GodotEngine runtime procedural landscape generation is turning out. There's still a ton to do but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to meet my performance target which is exciting!

[Cody Darr @sonic_ether]

@BattleAxeVR @kldclouds I've definitely given that some thought, but I think doing vector displacement might increase the complexity of erosion and queries for collision too much. Erosion might not be too bad, but thinking about having to search the displacement map for spatial queries freaks me out
