Started playing around with GM Studio 2 and seeing what I can do with tile layers, since their tile/room editor is no longer garbage. This tileset is old, I've probably posted it here before, but it allowed me to try applying parallax and depth of field effects beyond just scrolling background images. (click for smoother/bigger)  I start with something like this, then I just add tiles to background layers. Like this: http://dronecloud.org/game/parallax_dof.jpgThen in my rendering control object. I draw each layer individually and apply a blur shader to them. I also draw a semi translucent color between the foreground and background(s) acting as fog. I'm also toggling a color curve mapping/dither shader on and off. The parallax movement is achieved by scaling/shrinking the background layers after they've been drawn to a surface, rather than scrolling them at different speeds! This was necessary for what I had in mind, avoiding common the scrolling parallax style. Pretty good for a test. Bet I could do something interesting with animated objects in the background and stuff! I've been obsessing about Hollow Knight lately, so that's been an influence. Except they use Unity. |

A coin of unknown stamping, found in the lower tombs:  ~ @absolute8: I rather like that approach to lighting: pixelly, convincing, and atmospheric, I find. ^_^ The only thing that I don't like is what seems to be a large foreground shadowcaster, passed shortly before the hanging wall and the hooded figure. It blocks quite a bit of the view with its shadow, when--being in the foreground--it feels that it shouldn't. It thus limits the player's perception without feeling like it doing so makes much sense--to me, watching this as a GIF, at least. |

A new animation for Ash of Gods - a trebuchet will make a breach in the city walls with ease.  Do you think you would be able to handle this siege? |

Started using GM's autotile stuff for speed/quality of life. One thing I got used to though when doing tiling by hand was adding variation to tiles, using other compatible tiles I had prepared. Autotile doesn't let me do that, so this afternoon I wrote a script that at runtime goes through my tile layers and pseudo-randomly mixes tiles around a bit to break repetition!  |

That's really interesting! As someone who hand-place every tile, it's time consuming. Would it be possible to auto-tile, then come back on the same layer to handplace some? Not tried the auto-tile yet, so I don't know how it works. |

That works fine! Only small issue is if you start re-auto-tiling on top of your handplaced tiles, then the system can get confused. As in it starts putting the wrong tiles at that location, nothing you can't hand-fix. |

Great! I'll consider making an auto tile version of the sheet to make the first pass quicker ^^ On the subject of gifs:  |
