Playing around with hotspot texturing for #trenchbroom #gamedev

Finally submitted a work-in-progress PR for a "sweep" tool in #Trenchbroom - unlocking a bunch of creative brush geometry with a simple UX. github.com/TrenchBroom/... #gamedev

Submitted a PR implementing an Arch shape tool for @trenchbroom.bsky.social that saves a bit of time. #trenchbroom #gamedev github.com/TrenchBroom/...

Needed an install-free way to rip samples, so cooked up a tool for capturing & trimming audio from any browser tab, window or screen. Requires a Chromium-based browser. tools.ummjackson.com/tabture

Getting to a point where I can construct rooms pretty quickly using #mallet #godot

Spin tool. #godot #mallet #gamedev

Beveling is fun. #godot #mallet #gamedev

Got primitives hooked up in what I'm calling "Mallet", for #Godot. #gamedev

...and we've got basic UV mapping hooked up. #godot #gamedev

Sharing a web app I cooked up for monitoring #bluesky lists. No auth required, just copy/paste the list URL. Change the list you're watching by pressing F1. Personally using it in a pinned tab for headline aggregation, figured someone else might find it useful. #api tools.ummjackson.com/flyover

Getting somewhere with this #godot #gamedev #3d

Experimenting with building a middle-ground Trenchbroom meets Blender style of geometry editing for basic level design inside Godot itself. I think a big part of getting the workflow people love right is all in the UI/UX. #gamedev #godot

Just posted the first batch of some free, CC0 256px textures I've made for #gamedev and prototyping. Hope someone finds them useful. ummjackson.itch.io/256px-textures

Cooked up a web port of SLK_img2pixel that runs entirely in-browser + adds hotkeys and direct Lospec palette fetching. I'm calling it img2pixel4web:. #gamedev #texturing tools.ummjackson.com/img2pixel4web

I've always wanted to run the SLK_img2pixel tool on macOS, and thankfully it's open source - so I finally got around to getting a build working. Just submitted as a PR: github.com/Captain4LK/S... #gamedev #pixelart

New Slay the Spire is awesome. And very cool it's made using Godot.

Cooking up a lightweight framework for building CLAP plugins contained in a single .cpp file that build with an auto-generated ImGUI-based UI.

A free UI sound effect generator I've been working on, inspired by the popular "sfxr". Handy for #gamedev / user interface sound design (clicks, taps, swishes, etc.). Kind of fun to just sit and keep pressing the randomize button. Work in progress build @ tools.ummjackson.com/uifxr

Experimenting with a procedurally generated, resizable, pixel-perfect custom StyleBox resource in #Godot. No NinePatch textures required, all drawn using math. #gamedev

Just discovered jade-ite.itch.io/worlduv by @jadeite.dev and it's very cool - especially if you're a fan of Trenchbroom / Hammer workflows.

Playing with shaders. #gamedev

Enjoying today's jazzy release from Floating Points. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS2z...

If you're looking for an MP3 player in 2025, I highly recommend the "Innioasis Y1" w/ Rockbox firmware + iPod theme... ~$50 for a solid little device.

The new Oneohtrix Point Never album is sublime stuff.

Q-UP is my favorite new incremental game. Highly recommend. store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

Uh oh, started down the "I should build a voxel game" rabbit hole. #gamedev

First build of my web app "func_terrain" is live: tools.ummjackson.com/func_terrain It lets you quickly generate noise heightmap-based terrain then copy/paste it as brush data directly into #Trenchbroom Completely free to use / whatever you make is yours, etc. #gamedev

Working on a noise heightmap-based terrain generating web app that outputs brush data you can easily copy/paste into #Trenchbroom #gamedev

Just posted my submission to the @gamemakerstoolkit.com GMTK Game Jam 2025: ummjackson.itch.io/canyon Built using Godot 4.4 @godotengine.org #gamedev

(If you're anti-AI, please avert your eyes) Just released a web app that takes AI-generated "pixel art" (high-res, noisy/artifact-y) and turns it into actual pixel art. Here's a demo video. #gamedev #ai Also works well for low-quality screenshots of pixel art you might randomly fine online.

OK the new Tyler album is fire.

Built this as I needed something for quick #trenchbroom / func_godot prototyping. Can slap a basic texture set together in under 10 minutes then get to mapping. #gamedev

Just pushed the first build of my Texture Tiler tool for easily creating seamless tiling textures based on an input image. Here's a quick demo video to show what it can do. #gamedev #textures

Just discovered this open-source voice to text app powered by Whisper that runs everything locally on Apple Silicon machines. No-nonsense, minimalistic UI. Just drops the transcription directly into what ever app / text input area you have focused. Really great stuff.

Texture Grabber Build 1 is now live @ tools.ummjackson.com/texture/grab... If you've used something like Shoebox Texture Ripper in the past, this should feel quite familiar - but running in your web browser. Feedback & bug reports appreciated. #gamedev #texturing

Making progress on my texture grabber web app. UI and workflow is feeling pretty decent at this point. Decided against including an atlas packer for now as there are many out there already - you can download a single texture as a PNG or get a .zip of them all. #gamedev #textures

"Scratch" - a lightweight, tabbed Markdown scratchpad with local persistence I initially built for personal use. I've kept it open as a pinned tab for the past 6 months and find it a convenient place to copy/paste and edit plain text, store todos, etc. #dev tools.ummjackson.com/scratch

I've been looking for something more "organic" sounding than sfxr, so threw together a few small, free tools to generate all sorts of random noises and sound effects. Might come in handy for game jams, UI sound effects, etc. #gamedev tools.ummjackson.com/noise

Removed the snap-to-grid from my texture grabber web app and it feels tidier... now just rendering a grid inside selection area to help with lining up perspective. #weekendproject #gamedev

Working on a new (free) web-based tool for grabbing #textures #gamedev

Ok new build of daily word game is live. Pretty happy with where it's landed. Fun to try and maintain your ranking each day. ummjackson.com/thirtysix/in... #gamedev

Made a word game. If you'd like to give it a try: ummjackson.com/thirtysix/in...

New album, now on the streaming platforms. #ambient #music

New album. #ambient #music
