people seriously pretending EEAAO is overrated suddenly bc it swept awards? it swept awards largely because it is very very very good. I cried like someone who's just had a religious revelation BOTH times I watched it bc it touched something raw and real and beautiful but it was also just very, very funny. everyone's performance kills and the concept is creative and interesting and doesn't distract from the emotional core. you guys are just contrarian.
I've been working on a godot plugin for controlling how pixel art behaves with lighting, and I'm almost done with a really basic version! (more info under the cut)
this plugin is based on some techniques I have been developing over the years, featured most prominently in silt spawn.
it's a huge step forward though, since it requires no setup whatsoever, and it works with any normal light sources in the engine. the way it works is by generating an encoded sprite and a bespoke shader that can really quickly pick the exact color to show for each pixel based on how well-lit it is. as this gif shows, the plugin works with existing light sources and sprites, so you can really use these pixel-picky sprites as much or as little as you need!
now that the main feature is done, all I need to do is finish the UI in the editor, and then I'll feel comfortable releasing a bare-bones version of this plugin. I'm really proud of how it's coming along, and this quick little gif is just the beginning! :D
Hello everyone! I’m happy to tell you I finished all the content of my first comic book about them!! (finally!!!) And the physical copy (traditional Chinese version) will be self-published and sold in Taiwan comic con.
For now, the English version is available digitally as PDF. I have uploaded them onto my ko-fi shop and itch.io, have a look if you’re interested! 💝
And please remember that most of the content has been posted and can be read for free on here or my other socials. This comic only contains one new story (8 pages).
Thank you so much for reading this long post.😅
I'll create more new content in the future.🦾
