I've been polishing some props and placing better the camera in this level (the project is Etherborn). I'm also going to redesign one of the collectible items...

[SolarLune]

Wow, that looks really great, Sentionaut! Looks really fun to run around!

[Alec S.]

@Sentionaut: That looks lovely.  Do you have a DevLog or something for it?

working on a roguelike bubble bobble with guns (code by @yellowafterlife)

[gimymblert]

looks good!

Game about being a little fish in a big corporate pond/escalator - Corporate Salmon. Putting together a press/publisher pack and getting a demo working. Here's the output:

There's no devlog yet... I haven't posted that much since I registered, so I tought it might just look like spam or something. Anyway, probably I should make one sooner than later, because we're willing to talk about the game 

Thanks both for the kind comments!

started reworking the vector renderer the other week, as well as using quad channels to provide two channels for graphics and two channels for user-end audio. the other day I started writing custom audio effects. here's a sample with a custom bitcrushing effect.



might release that effect since there's not that much to it and there could really be more resources on Unity's OnAudioFilterRead stuff. it took me ages to figure out some of this stuff.

It looks great, but along the lines of the previous comment, it'd be cool if the cursor would move only between the highlighted items (aka the items that are equippable in that slot) so you wouldn't have to move one by one over other items. I don't really know how feasible that is because I'm an idiot when it comes to programming.

However, this is a very small detail that I don't think would actively be a detriment to a game if not implemented. It's one of those sorta polish things that will almost go unnoticed, but it feels nice.

Yeh I'll do stuff like that if i feel like it improves the game. Right now it feels like the implications cause more confusion and break more ui rules than they solve, so it doesn't have it.

starting to teach myself shaders. can hardly find anything really in depth on shaderlab and am going a lot based on the sample scripts without understanding everything there quite yet. did a couple of data bitcrushing experiments with different components to get some neat effects.

Thats some pretty dope stuff – especially the first one; reminds me of the PS1 days.

aaa thank you! i actually got the idea to try it because of looking into PS1 stuff since the precision it had for shaders was rather low. I did a few more experiments today.

[Gamedragon]

That makes my eyes hurt, but in a good way.

[SolarLune]

Yeah, these are all really cool examples!

[McMutton]

Trippy as hell, but quite cool

I'm considering glowy lines on trees to match the grand world one, but I'm unsure:


Though perhaps darker bark is a bit better:

[SolarLune]

Wow, that first shot looks great! Really painterly and artistic! Great work! I think the darker bark does work a bit better. Darkening the lines also seems to be a good idea, though you might consider a shader to make them glow over time. Combine that with scrolling the glow timing across the trees, and I think you'd have something really interesting!

(...) though you might consider a shader to make them glow over time. Combine that with scrolling the glow timing across the trees, and I think you'd have something really interesting!

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

[gimymblert]

I prefer the first image, much more mysterious rather than weird pattern, the second one is too dark, a happy medium between the two?

If you go animated flow through time, don't make them glow at the same time, use a shift base on world position or a random look up texture indexed by world space that tile and allow you to decide with pattern of light you want.

[McMutton]

Thanks, guys! I'd actually just darkened the texture in Unity itself, so I could probably modify the source to make the bark darker and keep the lines on the brighter end.

Yeah, I was wanting to do the thing where the glow scrolls across the filigree ^(filitree?) like it does on the decorations at the top and bottom of my menus:




I wonder how I'd do that? I can imagine it in concept: do some sort of black-white gradient emissive mask texture and have a color represent full brightness that increases from 0 to 1 and then resets. That sort of stuff is beyond me, though; I really have to learn how to make shaders.

[6down]

Man, those are some trippy shaders ompuco...I dig 'em!

Nice screenshots Mutton, and a slick menu to boot! Wish I could help you with your shader problem, 'fraid it's not my jam though. I do plan on teaching myself that stuff eventually, for the time being I'm a different kind of artist.

If anyone's interested in listening to some music, I've just uploaded a few tracks from an AGS game I've been working on, a scifi-noir murder mystery.
