Studio Laaya / Foghorns Drown (WISHLIST ON STEAM!)

I made a fun little shader breakdown from our fire effect

...someone there?

Thanks!

i only have 1 match left...

I don't :D

For effects like this I just like to make something in Blender because I can edit the mesh and I find the material nodes easier to work with than Godot shaders. Making the effect in Blender lets me visualize what looks good, and plan out how to approach making it in Godot.

my blender is on fire

this place is ...moist

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #ps1 #lowpoly

gotta crank it tight

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #ps1 #lowpoly

blocking out a new area...

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #ps1 #lowpoly

Thanks!

testing a custom caustics effect!

I mainly source textures from texture.ninja, edit them with Gimp, and dither with slk_img2pixel.

There's some more details on the trees in this post:
bsky.app/profile/stud...

uhh the new trees broke the wind shader

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #ps1 #lowpoly

I made the textures by building a 3D branch from a transparent pine needle image, and rendered it from a top down view, then downscaled and dithered it.

The scene is just dark ambient light + fog. The tree branches need to have nice silhouette, so I fiddle around with their placement until it looks interesting, and I tried to break up the edges of the textures to make them look as detailed as possible.

the trees have grown

We are pleased to announce our next game, Foghorns Drown!

Play the demo here:
studio-laaya.itch.io/foghorns-drown

the foghorns are loud, but the village somehow feels more quiet now...

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #blender #lowpoly

and finally put it on a flat plane as a transparent texture!

render it, make color adjustments, and finally downscale with dithering in SLK_img2pixel

this is how a pixelated chain texture is born:

model and arrange links in a repeating pattern in blender with simple procedural materials

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

a little something to take the edge off

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

i wonder what this traveller wants?

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

sometimes i have to add a big floor to keep the skybox from bleeding through tiny gaps in the level

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

the big house where the townsfolk usually gather

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

sometimes a sour rain pierces the fog

#gamedev #indiedev #godot

just imagine the chruch isn't a blank white box
