Experimenting with some textures!


Experimenting with some textures! I am aiming for the shader doing most of the visual candy job in the game. That means using only the most basic textures, and freeing up some graphics memory. And recently I tried different ones for metal surfaces - and the results are here:

  • Only color - solid color, no textures. Look a bit basic, not really like a metal piece, but might be ok for some small details.

  • More realistic metal texture - diffuse texture that gives rough, worn out metal look. Looks too detailed for the cartoon style I'm going for.

  • Edited metal texture - same diffuse texture edited down to keep a fear wear marks. Looks better, gives it some texture while not being too detailed.

  • Edited metal texture + normal texture - diffuse and a normal to define nails and metal sheets. Looks more like a metal surface, I think I'm keeping this one! But let's try some other things too.

  • Edited metal texture + normal texture + rust and wear normal. Gives the surface a bumpy look, might be a bit too detailed.

  • Edited metal texture + normal texture + metallic texture. Is supposed to give the surface a metal shine but looks weird with the shader . Might experiment with creating a "fake" metal shine through diffuse later on though.

Working on a small web game; couldn't figure out what was causing it to not connect to an extension. Turns out, GameMaker's latest update wipes a part of index.html - with important data from the extension. At least, it wasn't just me being stupid

Dreaming of finishing games

Did some more level design this week. Found out that the tutorial tvs broke at some point, while I was improving the interactions system. But if I don't tell anyone that these screens are supposed to show text, nobody is gonna know.. Oh.

Moved to version 5.6 of UE, had to adapt to some changes like the enhanced input system getting rid of some things. Still, there were also some changes to global illumination, which fixed a few details for me.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Did some progress on the next part of the Depot. This area is going to be a bit less spacious than the previous one.

A bit more design of the second part of the Depot level, now with lighting. Needs additional jellies..

The Knightling launches on August 28! Wishlist it now so you don't miss out: https://bit.ly/KnightlingSteam

To celebrate the game's impending release, we've added The Knightling Pack and The Knightling Community Pack back to the Shop!

Will add a bit more lighting, but for now finished with this section of the Depot level.
