The Maze Where The Minotaur Lives
4 years ago

Been experimenting with post-processing effects in SRP, adding an outline and a painterly depth of field effect. There's also a new HUD to keep track of items picked up and how many lives you have left!


All the new effects use a Depth Normal buffer which I had to code into SRP in an attempt to learn more about how it works in Unity.

I also messed around with the pixelate effect in combination with the new effects. It's... interesting.

I didn't get a chance to write up about this week's experimentation. Depth buffers are surprisingly arbitrary, so it took a lot longer to figure out, leaving me with not much time this week to write.

But if you're interested, you can visit my blog where you can see all previous posts about The Maze Where The Minotaur Lives' development.

Next up

After a couple of weeks of polish and tweaks, The Maze Where The Minotaur Lives is now ready to play. Have fun!

I'm been participating in the LowRezJam2021, and I've made some good progress. The themes I'm working with are Instant Teleportation and It's a Trap! #lowrezjam

Added flowers and fluttering butterflies. The butterflies are done using a particle system and animated using a shader.

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

I was testing if I could push the butterflies away when running into them. So I turned the particle emitter all the way up. One million butterflies may have been a little too much.

Here's more incredible art that Jolters made for #GameJoltColors25!

Unity's Scriptable Rendering Pipeline no longer supports in-built Lens Flares, so I wrote my own.

Added a Minotaur Statue that has a secret compartment hiding the key. You'll need to find the shiny red gems to open it if you ever want to escape the maze. All done with a little whack from your new arms.

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

I did this a few months ago, but I updated my procedural generator to add tiled noise variations.
