Solo indie game developer making Crystal Brigade, a roguelite tactical RPG.https://bsky.app/profile/combomash.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/combomash.bsky.social/post/3lkvtfiqq3c2kWorking on procedural geometry (verts & uvs via code) on a dual-grid hexagonal system using triangular meshes. Now I understand the problem domain but am struggling to decide if I should keep building via code or switch to Blender geometry nodes to generate assets and deal with that back-and-forth 🤔21 Mar 2025 18:22 +0000at://did:plc:pgrogw7k4k2nyfidbwhmm7c7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkvtfiqq3c2khttps://bsky.app/profile/combomash.bsky.social/post/3lkbp3kwbnc24Steam Spring Sale, you got me again! Adding Sekiro, Disco Elysium, Heavy Rain, Hogwarts Legacy and Enter the Gungeon to my backlog - on top of several titles, like Wargroove, that I need to finish first. Some are research for my own game and others are just for fun!13 Mar 2025 18:12 +0000at://did:plc:pgrogw7k4k2nyfidbwhmm7c7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkbp3kwbnc24https://bsky.app/profile/combomash.bsky.social/post/3lk7qwnvtis2tUgly debugging shaders alert! Making decent progress on my hexagonal coordinate system and procedural mesh creation. I'm aiming to get a rough procedural map generating by the month's end including tile heights, types and basic states like "hovering, highlighted, etc." 💪😅12 Mar 2025 23:39 +0000at://did:plc:pgrogw7k4k2nyfidbwhmm7c7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk7qwnvtis2thttps://bsky.app/profile/combomash.bsky.social/post/3lk24k7czjc26Recently discovered the dual-grid technique - separating your coordinate system from your geometry tiles to reduce the number required to build a cohesive map - thanks to @jesscodes.bsky.social YT video.
