Can you make games with 10 pixels? #gamedev #programming #STEM

Introducing @keysmetio, a project I've been working on since January 2023. It's huge for me. Please leave thoughts, likes, comments!

What's this

[trethaller @trethaller]

being back to procedural art I remembered these images I generated almost 20 years ago. Feels weird to look at really old stuff and think, oh that's actually pretty good, but I guess that's normal as you age

[trethaller @trethaller]

I'm first rendering the static text to a texture, and each non-black pixel becomes a particle, which inherits from the pixel brightness, so antialiasing is preserved when they reach their resting position

[trethaller @trethaller]

Experimenting with GPU particles at @BeTomorrow, with a soft falloff on the sprites and so many of them that they blend together

@Amplitude @grigouips @AsoboStudio @Dolby @oh_bibi ➡️ Lead Programmer sur DUNE: Spice Wars (@shirogames), @trethaller était en particulier responsable du Graphics Programming et Technical Art.

@keysmet hello, I'd like to discuss something in DM 😀

[trethaller @trethaller]

Rocky cliff shapes have a texture mask that indicates where sand can flow, that's how they end-up nicely integrated in the base terrain

[trethaller @trethaller]

Back to working on the procedural terrain of @DuneSpiceWars at @shirogames, found a video that I made a while back to explain the "cliffs" tech

perks of working at @shirogames : talented colleague randomly decides to draw your portrait as one of the characters

[trethaller @trethaller]

looks pretty funky with lots of noise but it creates subtle seams because of floating vertices, have to look into this

[trethaller @trethaller]

prototyping a level editor for a new @shirogames project, as usual with @haxelang and Heaps, borrowing ideas from @OskSta

[trethaller @trethaller]

it's a bit different from @OskSta because it's not voxels, just a heightmap, but we want to support diagonals

[trethaller @trethaller]

now that we've announced DUNE:SPICE WARS, I can share this placeholder track that I composed early on. It has been since replaced by some incredible work coming from a legendary composer, but for me it will forever remain connected…https://t.co/beelROiMib https://t.co/xMXb77WbFB
