#IndieDev/#GameDev, developing a universe simulator based on manipulating #space, #time and the fundamental forces of creation!

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

'12,000 hours' worth of #development of a #time and #space, #universe engine from the ground up.

Enjoy! 🙂

Tried making a new section for atomic clusters, simple dots in a sphere and ended up with... this...

Part of me wants to keep it but can't really think where to put it in the app. Happy accident?

More sub-scene linking!

#GameDev #IndieDev

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

- Navigation into child scenes fixed
- Nav out of them, fixed
- Brightness fades fixed
- Shared logic updated, reducing duplicate code
- Performance not close to being an issue

So that's everything from a cluster of cells down to quarks. Now better visuals!

#GameDev #IndieDev

Cell system -> Cell -> Cell Nucleus -> Nucleolus -> Atom -> Proton -> Quarks

Now I just need to make it actually useable, work on visual artefacts, make it more dynamic by including the additional types, sort out lighting, fix stuff and this is a prototype!

Admittedly haven't checked all of them, but all of the chemical elements should be showing as they are in reality now. Phosphorus anyone?

Standalone sub-scene, not yet linked to the main app but the effects are mostly done.

Question is, does it visually represent what I'm trying to achieve well... will only find out when it's all in place!

Little bit of sandbox dev before linking up to the main app!

@VediamoCosa It's a long long way from being done, just happy seeing progress for the time being. I've got everything I need to do in a list but can't be solid with timings for things for the foreseeable. One day though!

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

More procedural work!

#GameDev #IndieDev

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

When an effect goes sort of wrong but sort of right!

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

Been busy!

@apps_some @IndieGameSharer Serves me right. I tried to do something in a shortcut way and ended up spending way too long trying to get it to work.

If I could control the insanity maybe I could use it somewhere but this... this just isn't it 😂

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

I'm no expert, but something tells me I got my sphere maths wrong again...

Decided to make myself a bit of a voxel garden whilst playing with making flowers in a geometry shader!

#GameDev #IndieDev

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

Decided to have a go at making some flowers with a geometry shader and just Maths in the pixel shader without textures. I'm relatively happy with the result but could use more variation!

#GameDev #IndieDev

[TesselArts @TesselArts]

Elongated resolutions trial!

Right, lets see if a Flickr link will work here. It looks alright in the browser but try downloading the 15,000*7500ish image for full zoom ins!

Spent the evening fixing a few things and decided to play with planet gen shaders more. I know it's low quality but... they look like rivers right?

I need to fix clouds before I can post a video of tectonic movement again but I think I'm onto something here!

Figured I'd try my hand at converting this audio spectrum into an off-screen renderer and try to create some waves. SFX card -> #FMOD -> C++ -> Gfx card double buffered -> Win!

So many possibilities!
