but is L real

if you're using shaders and depending on how you're doing it, just going final color = sum of all light source values / number of light sources might be your easiest solution

oh! I just noticed the gamemaker tag. You should check out blend modes and see if those help! I don't remember exactly but if instead of additive you do one of the other ones, it might give the result you want?

I don't know if you're just drawing a shape, using stencils, shaders, or how your rendering this and in what engine so I can't give more concrete instructions, but that's how it should go under the hood

So what you'd presumably want is a way to, instead of add light values together, average them out. If white is the only light, keep it all white, if red is the only light on the pixel, keep it all red, if there's two or more light sources on the pixel, the color channel values take the average

so I don't know what engine you are using, but computationally here is what is happening: all three color channels (red green and blue) have a range of 0 to 1. White is full tilt 1 in all three. so if you take whatever color, and you add white to it, it maxes out at 1 and stays white.

yeah, plot important dialogue that happens during action segments gets super lost for me, hahaha

the woes of testing! I feel ya, especially as someone who's professionally in the QA industry

Many wished for a higher-res #font so I drew a 10px one 🥰

It does pain me that it's 2x pixel density when compared to everything, but... How does it look to everyone else? 🫠

It'll probably either be the default, or an option.

You COULD always include both, and just have the accessibility option for people to pick if they need more pixels

Honestly, I don't feel like it takes away too much. Easier to read for sure. If all else fails, I think it's a decent compromise.

reminds me of this one time we did a 3 day game jam, i wasted an entire day making a full random weather system that never even made it into the game in the end 😂

New corrupted cultist enemy in Pergamum - WIP indie game YouTube video by StellarMantis

I'm getting closer to a solid prototype of the intended gameplay, it will be based on positioning and moving enemies with knockback in order to carefully proc elements and charge up powerful spells. youtu.be/VXLKzmplXh4

Very bouncy!

I don't to big picture tests as often as i should, caught some lurking bugs that way though, i should do it more haha

We love you for your boundless optimism if nothing else, yahtzee

i don't assume scrollable text fields or multiple text panels are a viable solution?

#indiegames #Steam

a marked improvement if you ask me! Only so much you can do at this resolution

Thanks!
How's yours going by the way? Don't think I forgot!

eyo #GameMaker #GameDev people, who all doing #gm48 this weekend?

oh damn, I got bamboozled! Either way, good work :)

ah, spline magic

oh nice, looking good!

damn, looking good! You're nailing the aesthetic.
The only nitpick I have is it feels a bit floaty/weightless for now. I'm sure it's nothing that some juicing up won't fix in the future, though!

underwater wall-e is my best friend

Underwater cleaning bot continues their hard work

Currently working on the core loop - removing all the 'dirt' from each section of the map, compacting down the materials and using those to create better cleaning tools!

#indiedev #gamedev #godot

hahaha oops

well, lessons learned and skills gained!
