🎉 Los Pingheros is coming to Nintendo Switch! 🎮 Our official page is now live on the eShop — you can wishlist it today and get ready for the wildest snowball-fight party ever! 🗓 Release date: 01 Dec 2025 👉 www.nintendo.com/fr-fr/Jeux/J... #NintendoSwitch #IndieGame #LosPingheros #GameDev

You paint, we deliver! Placing trees on the painted areass by generating points with a halton sequence and then filtering the generated points with a thresholded noise function to create gaps between the trees #PaperCastle #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity

Testing our new water effect on our new water towers! 💧🏰 What do you think? 🌊✨ #PaperCastle #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity #Water

1/ Experimenting with painting things in our game. It doesn't show here, but I also added support persistent objects in multiple layers. The data is merged on the fly and visualized with a per-shader configurable per layer.

A small #towerdefense #indiegame where you use paper to beat fire. (Okay, and a bit of water) I've been working on the rendering aspect of this (amongst other things); it's only going to get prettier!

Gamifying our fire system! The fire propagation logic was too hard to tweak, so now fire is created directly by invisible particles instead. Works like a charm! #gamedev #techart #unity #indiedev

Framedrops? I don't think so. 😏 #smallgame #indiedev #performance #code

We have a burning edge, using a step function and some noise. Some pixels end up very bright, and some black. This creates strong aliasing effects. Using the derivative (fwidth), we can do sub-pixel smoothing and also get back some details!

coloring our paper models, using the earlier color blending approach applied to the parts individually #gamedev #techart #indiedev #unity

Fake stop-motion using custom playable clips in the timeline. The randomness and posterization have their place, but floating objects feel a little off. If anyone has good resources on faking stop-motion, hmu! #gamedev #techart #indiedev #unity

I have a dissipation effect using a geometry shader: replaces triangle with a billboard particle. Allows precise particle placement and performs relatively well, but lacks flexibility: same shader for mesh & particles, no shader graph, no vfx graph. #gamedev #techart #indiedev #unity

They're so hot.. they're literally burning a hole in the ground! #gamedev #techart #indiedev

Now we can spawn particles at exactly the right place! 1. A low-res simulation, sampled into high-res tex array, +noise 2. VFX graph samples high-res tex array to spawn particles 3. Mesh samples texture for edge color and alpha clipping #gamedev #techart #indiedev

It's trying to tell me something? #gamedev #techart #indiedev

A technical test for an effect we need: spawning particles in a VFX graph, using an array of textures 🤔

After having reflected a little, I've come to no conclusion. Such is life.
