Found a nice way to extrude this barrier mesh with miter corners in the vertex shader :) Extrude along the X axis. The vertex local X is used as the interpolant, before multiplying with the model matrix. pos.x = mix(end0 + tan(angle0) * pos.y, end1 + tan(angle1) * pos.y, pos.x); #gamedev #indiedev

Believe it of not those yellow lines are actually infinitely tall 2d capsules, and the vehicle now collides with them, which is something #indiedev #gamedev

I logged in to twitter to see what’s up. Lots of ads and AI. Clicked on a programming video, fine. Immediately autoplays a police shooting, then ‘cyclists are bad’ road rage, then black man criticises George Floyd, and... I cannot

Any tips for toon shading? This is my first attempt in blender. Final implementation will need to be suitable for realtime. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Added a shader build step, then spent some time trying to get a paint brush like material working. This uses a multicolour paint brush texture to perturb the normals + brightness. Not an artist but I think it looks ok? #gamedev #indiedev

Got some test floor textures in, but more exciting is the block vertex editing and wall selection logic so I can add textures to the walls later :) #gamedev #cpp

Defo some marketing hype here but agree that many apps should be better websites. Spent the last 1.5 years working on a web game engine and I can see a lot of growth there too rogueengine.io/blog/your-ap...
