🧵 Big Hops Sewer Exit Level Design Deep Dive Thread 🧵
Inspired by @radiatoryang.bsky.social's excellent Big Hops level design blog post and encouraged by Chris @luckshotgames.com, here's a thread where I dove back through the commits to look at our iterations on a single level in Big Hops.
Cube casting a shadow with appropriate soft umbra and penumbra (given a point light source.)
Cube casting a shadow with appropriate soft shadow, with underlying geometry revealed. The geo cuts match the umbra and penumbra such that Gouraud shading is sufficient for complex (static) lighting.
Before we had the processing time for all this CPU/GPU path-tracing, there was a cool technique for baked vertex-lit geo. It managed to achieve some sweet soft shadows.
It didn't really catch on for several reasons. In games, because lightmaps were Close Enough and realtime.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"
Home from the video art convention and I'm back to being stressed again
I have some really exciting projects and plans coming up but I desperately need to get out of the financial situation I am in. Our rent is too high, my car is overdue for repair, I'm not eating enough

HERDLING is coming out in just a few hours, so there's just enough time to go through some other fun tech-art stuff 👀

a post from itch saying “I don't see any indexing restrictions on your game. Your game does have a content warning because of this setting on your page though (check the "Metadata" tab). It's possible at some point you could have added a tag to your page that is commonly associated with explicit adult content.”
a post from itch pointing out that an article is full of misinformation and trying to clarify.
itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.
journalists too...
Things are insanely tight right now while I’m between paychecks so I’m afraid I’ve gotta link this here again. Been dealing with a few unexpected costs the last couple days putting me a bit further behind than initially expected.

Like - the point of Nanite/Lumen IS NOT gigashit graphics for players. It's to smooth over a million iteration-blocking workflow issues... at a known runtime performance cost.
