This is what #MIDORI looked like in its early days. The core game mechanic was already there, but everything else changed in the process.

On your way down the rabbit hole of melting architectures you will also have to repair old machinery and understand DIY constructions made by the activist crew. ๐Ÿงฐโœจ #CosmicHorror #indiedev

In our upcoming game we combine outlines from multiple sources: world depth (red), world normals (green) and the normal map (blue). They make up a mask that shows the brighter colors of the albedo map, creating a subtle effect. #gamedev #shader

Additionally, the normal map (blue) is only visible in the flat shaded shadows, acting as a stylized ambient occlusion. Providing visual detail through outlines helps us create our unique game aesthetic and makes the environment more readable while playing.

Held a workshop with fuzzybinaires.org on submarine cables today, so here's some cable geeking: 99% of internet data is distributed via submarine cables. With this World Wide Wet in mind, metaphors like the cloud make no sense. ๐ŸŒจ [cable cross-section]
