The Low Poly #GameDev Bundle is a large collection of low-poly 3D assets from Eldamar Studios and Animpic Studio. Usable in #UnrealEngine, #Unity3d, #GodotEngine and more.

@GameFromScratch You might know enough to clear it up. But do the ones with the Unity/UE logos mean they're only redeemed at their respective asset stores? I interpret it that way.
Simultaneous play in Billabong is just too frantic. A game can be over in seconds. I'm thinking to slow it down by limiting each player to only one flow in progress at any one time, and slowing down the flows so that players have more opportunity to block flows that can capture a large amount of the maze.
On the plus side, the game creates some really pretty patterns.
Yesterday I was surprised to find that the Liikennematto devlog that I posted last week had made it to the front-page of Hacker News. It's still there!
Some results from the exposure:
7.8k unique visitors / 8.7k page views
500+ browser plays on itch.io
about 30 new stars on GitHub
many followers here
Also: 4x traffic vs. Firebase free quota. Had to create a billing account to keep the website live.
Update 1.11! Just a couple of new rooms this time, I'll definitely return to this area and add some interactive bits. Link in bio! #gamedev#pixelart#disneyland
In case you missed it, here's me hanging out with Id Software co-founder, and metalhead cool person John Romero, and other indigenous gamdevs! https://t.co/tFx644bj4y #retrogames#gamedev
Progress
Town Scene proc-gens a grid, including randomly placed stairs tile
Stairs tile is replaced by Stairs Scene
Next: add collider for scene transition to Dungeon
Put together another room transition, this time for the fake door prop that swings open. i always really loved this effect on rides despite how basic it is, though i might be signing up for too much considering how many of these I'll have to make transitions for in the end... #gamedev#pixelart#disneyland
@decipher2k ooh, gotcha. If it's a contemporary game where they fit and are kept more in the background (unless it's maybe a sports game where they're more upfront), then it's kind of whatever.
Not a fan of them still, but less disruptive than the ones I had in mind.
Hey #IndieDev peoples, when do you share about a project? Does sharing help or hurt your motivation? Have you tried different strategies? I’d love to boost some of your stories and experiences.
I reduced the size of the hole creation and connected this to the laser cutter. It looks interesting, maybe there will be several places in the game where you need to cut a hole, but with a combination of Chaos Destruction and Geometry Script
If you can share, I'd be interested to know how it works technically, how the geometry deforms or whatever. Because as far as I know, usually in games, if there are any destructions, it's a pre-broken geometry, which at the right moment just replaces the whole one and falls apart. And here everything is dynamic, laser, I have not seen such a thing. 😅
@lisyarus oh I like how you solve the problem in 4 lines while I'm taking the most batshit insane path (though you don't provide the speed conversion formula)
You may be interested in the expm1 trick to avoid writing the unintuitive swapped form a=lerp(b,a,x)
> 1 / speed is the time in which position becomes closer to target by a factor of e = 2.71828
The wiki page you link proposes a another reading when using the time constant (T=1/speed); something along 63.2%; this may help?
@bug Yep, I was planning to mention expm1 (which is also more precise) but decided the post is already too long :)
The thing wiki mentions is actually the same as in my article: if you divide a thing by e = 2.71828, you get 0.3678 of the thing, or 36.78%, meaning you got closer to zero by 100 - 36.78 = 63.21%
@djlink I have launched planescape torment recently and while it still works it is clearly visible that it is dated and less nice than today's realtime
so disagree that it is unrivaled. today's realtime is pretty much there
