So, yesterday I dropped a cola can in my office, and stupidly, I opened it too quickly after this. It ended pretty much as you can imagine.

I cleaned the floor at the time, and thought, that the place looked a bit dusty... so I've just spent the past hour dusting and cleaning everything.

I’m pleased that I did it though, and everything is back to normal, except for my deskmat, which is outside, drying in the warm air.

Seriously, if you are as tired of AI as I am, then grab my little badges for your site. They are in the usual flavour of 88x31px PNG, and also SVG so you can scale the blurriness away.

They are FREE... however, I am grateful for any size of donation if you are able.

I've got more “No AI!" stuff coming soon to my shop asap that you can 'stick' all over the place https://ko-fi.com/s/4662b19f61

Morning!

This is my late #Introduction.

Hi, my name is James and I’m a #GameDev based in Bristol, UK. Video games have always been part of my life and at this point I’m part of the old guard.

I’m not happy unless I’m working on a game project. I love #ProcGen and have an unhealthy obsession with hexagons (hexagons are the bestagons). Fluent in both #Unity and #UnrealEngine. I’ve also made a lot of my own tech over the years.

At the moment I’m working on a cozy hex-based infinite #ProcGen game in #UE5.

A hex-based procedurally generated infinite terrain showing smooth chunk spawn and despawn transitions as the player moves around the world, and swaying trees and sparkling rocks with added random variation.

I began to make the logic of the interaction of the cable with the protagonist. I don't want to make a rope that will wrap around objects. I probably add the cable to the inventory, and not drag it behind the character

I've got this really nice light wind loop going on now. The tree sway step is synchronised for all trees regardless of time of creation, but I've slightly offset it based on world X position to make it look like the breeze travels across the screen. There's also a minor variation in sway amount. What do you all think?

#GameDev #UE5 #UnrealEngine #ProcGen

Low poly trees on a procedurally generated hex-based terrain gently swaying in the wind. Super chill and nice to watch :)

Why. Is. It. So. Quiet??

Trees have been successfully attached to the ground. Now working on some windy tree swaying.

Yea, I'm having way too much fun with this 😂

#GameDev #UE5 #UnrealEngine

Trees swaying in the wind "completely" normally.

Devlog, Day 3. I made a draft of a drone widget. In the example, first HUD with curve and in the drone mode - HUD with parallax, the UI reacts to movement and returns to the center

My procedural hex terrain system is coming along nicely in Unreal. Still a while to go before I'm back at where I was with Unity but I definitely feel like things are much faster written in C++.

More to come: chunk generation, player character, animation, trees, rocks, harvesting, screaming into the void...

Holy shit, waking up to a spambot flood. Luckily most of the spam accounts were from just several domains, so added some domain blocks, and now close to 1000 spambots should be suspended. But geez.
