I got started with Promise Mascot Agency yesterday, and it definitely got its hooks in me. Played 7 hours straight before I finally had to make myself eat. Part visual novel, part business management, part Forza Horizon with a beater truck. Very quirky and very well written.

I'm thrilled to share a new JCGT paper, "GPU Friendly Laplacian Texture Blending." It uses simple image processing and computational photography techniques to smoothly blend/layer textures and materials while preserving local contrast and texture details without ghosting or over-blurring. 1/3

You can use the depth buffer with a bump offset function to mask sprites by depth and conform them to the geometry. This is especially convenient for dynamic fake light, UI elements, character damage effects… #realtimeVFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev #vfx

Done! As always I sound very unenthusiastic but hopefully it gets the info across. There's quite a few vids like this out there and its definitely the most common technique but I wanted to put together how I do it youtu.be/OB6b_mhsG-s?...

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is an interesting game, but it really feels like an increase in remedial media literacy have led to people missing the forest for the trees, and it's worth talking about the game outside of the Chloe of it all. My latest for @rollingstone.com

Gooood afternoon Bluesky! I've been working on a little #indiegame. And it's made me fall back in love with game dev. Our phones can be too much. Be soothed by Yosh Pinball! You can get it on iOS apps.apple.com/us/app/yosh-... And @itch.io grey-fox.itch.io/yosh-pinball #gamedev RTs appreciated ❤️
