ok well it took all day but i've added functionality for painting NORMALS inside the unity editor! now if your model comes in and you don't have a hard edge to paint split vertex colours on you can just author them yourself! getting it to not blow up UVs was a challenge lol

this originally started out as a bug but then i figured - why not let the user swap between painting all shared hard-normal verts at once OR individually for crispier edges! (actually so happy with the radial segments that rotate to match the position of each vert face lol 🥵)

the latest craft project begins — the Halo 3 assault rifle 👀 Will be using this to learn electronics, wiring up a screen, lights, vibration — and then paint it!

been working hard on my unity vertex painter tool the past few weeks. just finished reviewing ~5000 lines of code, writing up documentation, and prepping stuff for the asset store - gonna be cool to finally release it! soon we'll talk about what im doin next 👀🏜️

got stabbed with some new ink today 🔪

cooking a lil n64-style demo scene 🌼

Its #wishlistwednesday We are making our first game, Trash City Turbo! Its a fun arcade experience about cleaning up a dinky cyberpunk city in your souped up road sweeper! You can find us on Steam here - store.steampowered.com/app/4484260/... #indiegame #indiedev #madewithgodot #gamedev

since Unity doesn't have a vertex painting tool anymore, I've been working on my own! i've not dabbled with the asset store before but is this something ppl would be interested in if i put it up for sale cheap? 👀

nothing super fancy to show tonight, just some classic n64 style stair-ramps and 2D alpha-clipped railing textures 🙏

vertex colours and low-res textures my beloved 🥰

we got those zelda ocarina of time shadows babyyy ☀️ supports multiple light sources at once for multi shadow casting, like here with a dir. light + the moving point light

greyboxing a place

the start of something? 🤔

a bittersweet update on #BOMBSHELLBLITZ! tldr: I'm creatively burned out on it and need to take a break from its development to focus on something smaller, before potentially returning later. Thank you for understanding 🥹🖤

new gear to rep my favourite powermetal guys Elvenking / Dynazty 🤘

got an opportunity to work on a very cool (and very SECRET) side project recently and i haven’t felt THIS inspired and excited with art for so long looking forward to sharing more in a few months but damn this is gonna inform what my next personal project is for sure 👀

SO TINY AAAAAAAA

new #bombshellblitz girl WIP! she is just 🤏🥹🩵

something about video games with these abstract white/black glowy doorways hits the nostalgia just right 😤👌 #bombshellblitz #gamedev

here's an early look at the Staging Area in Blitz! this is where you can talk to your course instructor (more on that later hehe 👀💕), check out the leaderboards and course challenges! #bombshellblitz #gamedev

i've recognised that im way too precious about only sharing Blitz dev stuff that's *perfect* (or at least 'done'), and I end up just not showing anything instead since i have such high standards lol 😅 i wanna change that going forward and start sharing things more casually again

I have officially lived for three whole decades 🎂👄🎂

anime-style procedural pixel clouds achieved! :D☁️ #bombshellblitz #gamedev #madewithunity

shhh the military kitty is sleeping 💤 #bombshellblitz #lowpoly #ドット絵 #픽셀아트

"colonel, im trying to sneak into the facility, but the clap of my tank treads keeps alerting the guards" — Solid Snake, probably #bombshellblitz #gamedev

the riff that can summon all the edgy 2000s emo kids 🤘 #guitarcover #ギター弾いてみた

i feel like ive landed on a really nice way to make score-chasing and level modifiers fun in Blitz - who knew all I had to do was just look at Halo skulls 💀👄💀 I've got a BIG ass system to architect first, but it's motivating to have faith in such an important design decision

hehe comfy pentagram hoodie ⛤

life has been good recently 😌 I also took a break from work to visit Switzerland over the weekend and man what a gorgeous place 🇨🇭🏔️

some wip UI work for blitz! Each level is pre-designed but given to you in a random order every run with a random positive/negative modifier applied to it, making the experience and challenge different each time! #bombshellblitz #gamedev #indiedev

GAME MUSIC COMPOSERS! 🎶 I'm in the market to bring someone onboard to help create several tracks for BOMBSHELL BLITZ! Battle music made of chiptunes / MIDI instrumentals is the main thing I'm after, so if that sounds like you please leave your demo reel in the comments! 👀

trying out a new thall amp sim which obviously meant i had to chug out some doom eternal OST 🤘🔥 #DOOM #guitarcover #ギター弾いてみた

it's fun coming up with enemies that dont explicitly attack you, but pose a challenge in other ways. these dudes are real annoying when combined with other tanks >:D #bombshellblitz #gamedev #madewithunity

solo game dev is hard man. it's not even the complexity of the work, just the TIME it takes to do it all. Powering through it tho— Blitz will take a while but I'm confident in the QUALITY it'll have. next project i'll be doing *quite* a few things different though I'll just say😅

back to working on Blitz today! the lil bombshells need attention 😤

🧵 breakdown thread of the Halo energy shield vfx! (there's a couple approaches you could take for this, and a lot of optimisations possible for each part, so take this more as a general 'approach' than a specific step-by-step!) 1/5

now that @halo.gg is being made in Unreal Engine, it seemed fun to reimagine what Spartan energy shields could look like with a fresh coat of paint — here's my take on some flashy shaders+vfx in engine! ⚡ #vfx #unreal #gamedev #halo

very nice GI outside today ☀️

still cooking on tank game atm, but what tech demo would you most like to see next? 👀 1️⃣ Halo shield effect 2️⃣ Interactive water 3️⃣ D&D stoneskin spell 4️⃣ Procedural anime clouds (bsky doesn’t have real polls yet 🙈)

News! I'm looking for work. I draw clean colorful pixel art, sometimes 3D. Familiar with animation, tilesets, UI, scripting, you name it. Portfolio: cara.app/lampysprites lampysprites(dot)hotmail(at)com Not considering crypto, ai, rev-share. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

what pagan ritual must i perform to stop maya, unreal, and AE from crashing when using them in the lightest manner possible 😭

it's a small detail but Blitz academy is 👏wheelchair accessible👏 (one of our tba bombshells may appreciate this 👀)

getting something of a title screen together! :D #bombshellblitz #madewithunity #gamedev

alrighty done with Unreal for a bit now - heading back to Unity to work on Blitz! more tech art experiments to come in the future tho (maybe i'll also actually just PLAY baldur's gate as a treat now too haha)
