I stopped using OdinInspector cuz it's mixing data & presentation too much. like 5 simple [SerializeField]s become a wall of code So I went back to vanilla [CustomEditor] IMGUI (not even UITK) BUT I see now that Rider has deep integration with Odin! So I’m tempted again

left this meme on the shelf to ripen for a couple months but here you go "just make it exist first"

I — too — love making trees! (sometimes I think: is *this* game really the best vessel for me just making a bunch of trees?! what game should I have made that's just about me making a bunch of trees for a year..?)

don't worry about being good at concept art, these tiny sketches are all I use, but they help me so much when going into Blender

hire me to design manhole covers

thanks, past me

this made me quite nostalgic

🤔

I'm not using this greeble texture as much as I thought I would, for final models. but it's GREAT for blocking things out! #pixelart

question: what is happening in our MONKEY ASS BRAINS that makes pick-up-able items so YUMMY?

using Pixel Unwrapper to quickly unwrap an object! Ready for pixel art in less than a minute!

have to show this off real quick cause i'm quite proud of it! I built on top of Unity Splines for easier+faster editing 🪄 Shift click inserts points on closest segment 🗻 Moving snaps to ground 💁🏻‍♂️ but height of each point can be adjusted by holding CMD with SplineMesher's "conforming" it's a dream!

Also, will this reset the "last updated on" counter for every game now?

The Miramax cafe ! Online! I miss the old internet 😭

was painting in some grass details into the map (i usually don't hand paint, use MicroVerse) but always cool to see what the paint mask looks like, cool abstract shapes

drake meme: ✋😒 fix bugs and create content 😎👉 f* around with water shader

It’s nuts. In all of this “Apple Intelligence” marketing there is NOTHING about Siri getting smart enough to understand that “Add apples and yogurt to the shopping list” should create TWO reminders, not one or answer “did I set an alarm?” not by reading out all 542 of my inactive alarms

is this bad? some of them are only used at edit-time for baking some textures..

NO!! WACOM!!! BAD!

hate it when the bugs look cooler than the actual game

trello was moving cards into the wrong board, and I was like huh? Turns out it was the board of the FIRST protoype named "Garbage Country" from 7 years ago.

ugh! wheel bays are so hard to model neatly into a car body, especially in 3D Pixel Art where you want to maybe also have (somewhat) square pixels mapped to the geometry..

thought about doing that "make it exist first, you can make it good later" meme, but i'm too lazy.. So: working on one of the NPC cars, check out how bad it looks:

thing #124 I learned while making a car game for a "nitro" effect, literally all you need is speed lines + reduced FOV you don't even need to make the car faster

I guess I'm making Car Tron now.

@guycalledfrank.bsky.social heya! Just bought & installed Decalery.. Was wondering, what steps should I take to make decals work with a custom shader? - no z-write - offset towards camera? <- have you got a suggested method for this?) - anything else ?

I was today years old when I learned that you can add [CanBeNull] to [SerializeField]s to help you avoid relying on Inspector fields being set (if they are optional) (Maybe you could even configure it to where you need to add [NotNull] for even stricter safety!)

these types of bugs — where you accidentally spawn unlimited objects — always look so fun! fixing them feels so wrong always gives me the feeling I'm making the game wrong

Indie tip #72 Always be hot fixing bugs at the booth. Make sure you introduce new bugs each time too, so you don’t get bored

oh just quickly draw a uniform direction from a cone with a given angle, they said. (2 hrs later...)

gamedev is kinda fun

Last minute build of GARBAGE COUNTRY, in the train on my way to gamescom! See you soon! (At the Indie Arena)

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st. More info in thread...

hot take: I like Unity UI

EVERY TIME

get em!

your best code is that which you use constantly, but you forget it exists (because it works so well and gets out of the way) for me that's this super simple FSM implementation I use it constantly to formalize some logic that's getting hairy and it always improves the situation

just saw these side by side in my steam library and i really enjoy the look of it! 💕

working on some new tower types!

show me your task tracker.. no cleanup allowed!

the recoil on these guys! 😂

this makes sense, right?

😂

haha okay

you can pull down these bridges (and other things) with the winch but now i'm thinking.. are gaps of this size really an obstacle?! 😂 🚙💨⚡️💨⚡️💨 ahh well.. that's one for the speedrunners I guess..

Garbage Country is a post-industrial exploration sim releasing in 2026 from @noio.games, developer of Kingdom: New Lands and Cloud Gardens "Above all else, Garbage Country is about the atmosphere; the dust, the ruins, the silence, the open road, and the haunting remnants of a long-forgotten past."

...exploring...

the thing from my previous post.. see how the yellow 🔊 moves along with the player but doesn't leave the area? this was easier than i thought! the whole thing (including Inspector and handles!) is less than 1000 lines of code

in games you often want sounds to emit from an area a quick hack: move the emitter 🔊 to the *closest point* inside assets exist for this, but I didn't like their usability/performance, so I built one It's the best "Area tool" I've used in Unity! Even for non-audio stuff anyone want the src?
