particle stars

(generated with an especially-made Godot project)


#ArtPicture made in Godot v4.2.stable.official [46dc27791] for Art Weeklies. themes used:

  • ⭕ Scene: Night View

  • ❌ Fanart: Games based around Space (No Man's Sky, Starfield, Outer Wilds...)

  • ❌ Random: Explorer

the picture is from a Desktop app that uses Godot's particle system (the CPUParticles2D variant) to generate stars.

the trick is that all particle movement is disabled and the speed_scale is set to 0, so the particles don't move and disappear.

the app is licensed under MIT License. you only need to save these 2 text files in a new folder (recommended name particle-stars) to get the Godot project :

follow-up to https://gamejolt.com/p/waa3pnjg:

studied the Back button from Windows 7

follow-up to https://gamejolt.com/p/7xndwixs:

i made my own Back button design.

it should stand out very good even at small sizes but still look like a button that can really be pressed.

a combination of the old #FrutigerAero style with modern #Design knowledge.

happy silksong day

i believe this "I'm Gayyy" meme is extremely important because it primed people for LGBTQ+ acceptance back in 2016

I was mad that they made Alastor's 2nd form so lame, so here is my art of scary alastor, straight from the fairytales, not just with some goofy ahh tentacles

special offer: twelve ten simple drawings (like this)
