1.1.9. is live already! Go grab HAZE while it's still 50% off!

Wanted to add end caps to my procedural branches and I, very placeholderily, set the UV coords of the middle vertex to be (0,0) And magically it worked out better than if I actually thought what that coordinate should be as it gave me automatic growth rings Love when these little accidents happen ✨

HAZE is still 50% for just a couple more days, so this is your last chance to grab it at a hefty discount ✨ To get you more excited for what's to come, next version (1.1.9) will include different gradient sampling options for local volumes, like mapping based on the sun direction 👀

On that note, a smoll update is now live (version 1.1.8) that makes transparent objects blend a bit more consistently with the fog and exposes a bias control for the main light shadows that could potentially help with fog leaking through thin walls ✨

Such a lovely review of Herdling ✨ It's also 30% off on Steam rn, so you should definitely check it out if you're a fan of more cozy games!

No it won't, and neither it should

I've been getting some more great reviews of HAZE on the asset store and I'm really glad people seem to enjoy using it! :D Here's another link to the asset for you to check it out ✨ assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx...

It's finished ✨ While playing Octopath Traveler 2 I fell in love with the HD2D art style and wanted to recreate it in Unity. I then decided to try and make a small piece of Fanart for Frieren while I'm at it 😊 This is the result. #Frieren #Unity3D #HD2D

The PinKeep Demo has just received another patch with some fixes and improvements, thank you all for your feedback!! Details here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/414...

Haven't given up on that ivy stuff yet; but I did get inspired to try my hand at a generalized procedural system for foliage, cause that's something I'd use the hell out of ngl though, it's.. pretty frustrating so far and I haven't even gotten to the annoying part (editor scripting 😔)

Bel's Fanfare Kickstarter is OUT NOW Support this whimsical RPG inspired by Zelda classics, Undertale and Spirited Away. We reached the goal in just 1 hour but let's see how far we can make it 🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/chi...

I'm so here for this wave of depth-offset rims on everything, this looks absolutely beautiful ✨ If you're interested in recreating this effect, I shared a small thread a while back: bsky.app/profile/hali...

Time to Keep some Pins. Or Time to Pin some Keeps? anyway play the PinKeep demo if you haven't already, we hear it's pretty neat 😇 store.steampowered.com/app/4156090/...

Finally, a place to rest. #gamedev #madewithunity

I.. cannot find what insane thing to comment about first wtf How do you become like this? How do they think they come across this way? Imagine not only acknowledging that you're a douchebag, but bragging about it too Not the way I'd prefer to get blacklisted as a studio but that's just me I guess

We've released two patches for the PinKeep Demo this week, implementing some of your feedback and fixing bugs. Check out Steam Notes for detailed Patch Notes and give the demo another try! store.steampowered.com/news/app/414...

Time to climb! Cairn is available now. Mount Kami awaits, unconquered. This is what you trained for: fight for every meter of the climb and rise to the challenge.

I might be too biased here but I noticed something interesting in my gmail today: I got a LinkedIn connection request by an artist from Pakistan, and Gmail marked that mail as probable spam with that "Be careful with this message" note

PinKeep Demo is OUT!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Go try it out now, I promise you'll have a blast!

🏰PinKeep Demo OUT NOW 🏰 The Demo for our pinball deckbuilding roguelite is NOW AVAILABLE! Head over to Steam and give it a try, we would LOVE to know what you think! Play, wishlist & leave a review! store.steampowered.com/app/4156090/...

With the PinKeep demo launching very soon (tomorrow!!) we decided it's time to launch a community discord server for our games and their fans! Join us right here if you'd like to chat with us and other players about our games: discord.gg/XFShKjzpNn 🥰

It really makes you think though: If this tech was really revolutionary and useful, would somebody without the backing of billions of dollars be able to make something of that momentum?

‼️ Attention Content Creators and Influencers‼️ This is short notice, but if you're interested in getting to play the Demo for our pinball roguelite deckbuilder ✨PinKeep ✨a bit earlier than everyone else, please contact us asap via contact at okomotive dot ch for an advance key!

As it turns out, I had an account at the largest deepfake site in the world, full of CSAM and Nazis, and it had gathered more than 30k followers over the years! All good now though, I deleted my account You should probably check if you're on there too, I think it's called X or something silly

"My slop machine won't be sold as much if people don't buy it, someone who's good at the economy please help me"

Daaaamn that looks amazing O.O

❄️⛸️❄️It was amazing to show the first peek of the game to people at @mivsmagfest.bsky.social ❄️⛸️❄️

HAZE 1.1.7 is out! Haze can now be rendered before transparent objects, and there are included HLSL functions and subgraphs to apply HAZE in your custom shaders to better support the visuals ✨ Check it out over at the asset store! 👇 assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx...

Had the immense pleasure of chatting again with Jack, this time doing an improvised introduction to HLSL ✨ Check it out and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Just finished a stream with @halisavakis.com (Harry Alisavakis) to demystify High-Level Shading Language (HLSL) from the ground up. - Learn How to Read & Edit HLSL under 45min: youtu.be/rd2glMlHwYI

And now it's actually useful 👀

Some better materials, proper branch scaling, more options for leaf placement, optional removal of the branch or the leaf submesh and various tech and visual improvements in general 🌿 This remains way too fun to play around with 😅 #gamedev #unity3d #madewithunity

I hit the button ✅😭🐸 🚨BIG HOPS is OUT NOW🚨 Get it on Steam | Switch | PS5 for just $17.99 with our 10% launch discount! #indiegames #nintendoswitch #ps5

My tween animated Hollow Knight interface is out! This is the fanciest page of the guide so far, but it should be fairly simple to understand! The guide is free and always will be 🩵 qaqelol.itch.io/tweens #Godot #GodotEngine #Tween #HollowKnight #UI #Guide

As great as the splines package was for quick testing, it was slow af now it goes brrrrrrrr in the editor and I'm still very much brute-forcing the geometry generation, no burst, compute shaders or anything

leaf

"Vague cultural grounds" it's *literally* nazi and pedo stuff everywhere my dude

Finally got around to trying my hand (pun) at something akin to ivy generation and I'm already having way too much fun even with just the gizmo lines 👀 This is definitely something I'm going to overuse, and I *will* use it for evil #gamedev #unity3d #madewithunity

More like slopilot amirite

1.1.6 is now live, featuring the exposed temporal accumulation controls (along with some minor fixes here and there) HAZE is still 50% off, but not for long! Grab it while you still can!

Also coming to HAZE soon: Proper transparency support ✨ Due to how the effect gets composited, transparency doesn't work out of the box, so I'll be including some handy SG subgraphs and HLSL functions to help you sample HAZE in your custom transparent shaders

One of the key takeaways with my conversation with Harry Alisavakis @halisavakis.com was... Don't rely solely on AI when learning technical arts and VFX. - Full Episode: youtu.be/PhlS-phZ1oE You might stumble across something that you can take notes from.

It's been a while since my last one, but I finally have new stuff to show now ✨ #artvsartist

As requested by some users, next HAZE update will expose the temporal accumulation blending, which can be reduced in order to address trailing artifacts from moving lights (like flashlights etc) ✨ HAZE is still 50% off, so it's a great chance to try it out if you haven't!

With all the Sandfall and Larian AI-related news, there are bound to be fans that feel that the flak was disproportionate in terms of the degree of AI use And it would be, if those examples existed in a vacuum But it's far more important to nip any and all genAI use in the bud

I’m excited to share my latest conversation with Harry Alisavakis @halisavakis.com a Technical Artist and VFX Artist. - Full Episode: lnkd.in/d_S7gCwz

I've had a lovely chat with @jackgutmann.bsky.social about shaders, tech-art, my path into the industry and more! Especially given how much I was rambling you can tell I had way too much fun too 👀

🌫️HAZE is 50% OFF!🌫️ HAZE is part of the new year's sale on the unity asset store, so if you're curious about trying it out, this is probably the best time to get it! ✨ Volumetric fog and lighting for only 16.10€ is a freaking steal! 👀 Go and get it while it's hot!!! 👇👇👇
