This is how I generated 180 #pixelart flowers (16 types, one consistent style) in 20 min.

This 🧵is also a @Scenario_gg run-through (web app) - with the prompts I used and the step-by-step workflow.

Reach out for any questions.

#StableDiffusion #AI #AIart #Gaming #GameAssets

I started from a (royalty-free) dataset available on #Craftpix, with 10 images of pixelated flowers (such as the ones below).

@LospecOfficial

Since the dimension of each image was only 32 × 32, I upscaled them 16x using @LospecOfficial, to get 512× 512 images.

Here's a before/after comparison.

Each image was sRGB / 8-bit.

I kept the grey background this time (I often remove it otherwise).

Muchos desarrolladores indie deben estar usando MidJourney / StableDiffusion de forma intensiva a día de hoy.

Algunas pruebas rápidas (30 minutos) 🧵👇

Fondos para una aventura gráfica. SE SALE. Me flipa tantísimo que me dan ganas de ponerme manos a la obra. Entonces recuerdo la novela y los muchos caldos que ya estoy sorbiendo... jeje.

@LenteGameDev

How I made an infinite world for my 3D Pixel Art game!

A thread 🧵#indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

Each chunk consists of 9 quadrants.
If the camera is in the middle one (5), nothing has to happen since the main chunk covers the whole camera view.
However, this changes once the player starts moving to the outside of the chunk ->

Now moving to the right, the camera can see outside of the main chunk and we should spawn a new one. We do this on the middle right side of the current main chunk, since the camera is in the middle right quadrant!

How I added obstacle avoidance to my game!

A thread🧵#gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

I work with Raycasts, kinda like whiskers.
They make the boat steer the opposite direction when they collide with an obstacle!
Just like for cats it helps with limited vision! (since the boat obviously doesn't have eyes)

The boats avoid each other using the 'boids' algorithm.
There's three simple rules: 1. seperation 2. alignment 3. cohesion.
These 3 make for really cool effects!

How do you design a 2D GAME CAMERA that properly frames the action? A whirlwind tour of different solutions, animated! #pixelart #gamedev

The setup: you've made your platform game's player character and need to make the camera follow them. Easy, right...?

...Well, there's more to it than that. If you just lock the center of the camera to the center of the character, it won't give the player a very good view.

In fact, nearly half of the screen real estate is now dedicated to showing the ground texture... not helpful!

Easy fix: move the camera up a little bit! Now the player can see all of the blocks above, at least. But our work isn't done yet.

For one thing, the camera shows the menacing out-of-bounds void when the player walks near the edge of the map.

How does ROLLBACK NETCODE work, and why is it so difficult to program? A whirlwind tour of different solutions #pixelart #gamedev

The setup: you have a video game with couch co-op (pictured) and want to add online multiplayer. Easy, right...?

(thread)

Well, it's not so simple. If you send each player's button presses over the internet (big arrows), there's some delay due to how far the signal must travel. So the inputs get out of sync between the 2 screens.

Notice that the order of the characters jumping changes.

...This out-of-sync thing is a problem because it can make a player succeed on one screen but fail on the other. A few frames doesn't sound like a lot, but it can be the difference between victory and defeat in an action game.

E.g. Mario gets/misses the coin.

For today's #screenshotsaturday, I want to take you on a trip through memory lane and show off the procedurally-generated planet closeups in Slipways evolved. 🚀
This is how they look today, but we'll be going as far back as 2017 in the🧵below!
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

We're starting in August 2017, when I decided to push #pico8 a bit and make it render a textured planet in 3D.
At the time, I didn't even know if this would work. PICO-8 did not have any texture support back then - I had to do it the hard way, carrying pixels uphill both ways 😤

A few months later, in early 2018, I was working on the #pico8 version of Slipways.
No room for fancy procgen here, so the planets became #pixelart sprites. These humble 9x9 images would define the basic look of the various planet types in every future iteration.

Here's that same section, but with some polished art applied to it. The art is all done in 2D, in aseprite (with occasional 3d references done in blender) It's all done by hand without a grid or tilemap, but I do reuse some foliage.

Hey #IndieDevHour! 👋

Today I added dithering to the Pixel-Light 💡 shader for #BoneToPix

Mini-tutorial below 👇🧵

#GameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt #UnityTips

https://twitter.com/GeorgeB_Green/status/1484984312839688193?s=20

Previous thread with the start of the tutorial for per-texel cell lighting:

https://twitter.com/GeorgeB_Green/status/1484984312839688193?s=20

The main trick for this one is doing a 1:1 mapping of texels in our main texture to texels in the dithering lookup

Then bring it into the [-1,1] range and scale it.
The sampled offset is used in the CellLookup

Make sure your dithering lookup is set to wrapped for this to work

@SpectreSkully

i've tweeted about it a fair bit already, but i modeled & textured almost every object in "i don't think i've walked this stretch of road before" in #crocotile3d, an exceedingly rad #lowpoly, tile-based 3D design tool by @SpectreSkully

#GameMaker #gamedev

coming from a 2d #pixelart context, constructing volumes *from* tiles was remarkably accessible. as i got a lil more comfortable, distorting & dividing geometry & watching the ensuing texture chaos was a great way to learn more about uvs, etc

even without any conscious focus on optimization, i find that crocotile constantly encourages me to be thoughtful & sparing with color & form, & to squeeze use & value out of the same tiny tiles over & over

#GameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt #MadeWithUnity
Small addition to yesterday's post for correct pixel-grid lighting 💡
Updated the grid stay consistent even with rotations.
Explanation below 👇

We need to create our own TRS matrix, by ignoring the 3x3 scale and rotation part. We use that to go into 'Kind of world-space'.
Scale is still going to be weird. Don't think there's an easy way to separate scale from rotation in the TRS inside shader code.

George B. Green - making The Bleak Divine

@GeorgeB_Green

💡☀️Working on the pixel-art cell shading for #BoneToPix & The Bleak Divine

A short thread on how I got lighting data to work on *art* pixels instead of *screen* pixels 🖥️

👇🧵 #MadeWithUnity #GameDev #PixelArt

Fragment shaders work on screen pixels, not texture pixels. In pixel-art styles 1 pixel in your art is going to be rendered over a bunch of screen pixels

That means you'll have different data for different parts of a texture pixel-> so you won't get the neat per-art-pixel look

The solution is to snap our data to an art pixel-grid.

We're gonna need to align both vertex positions and fragment positions to our pixel grid.

First, the vertex snapping, in the vert shader:
