Um, holy shit. We made a goddamn RPG game. A whole, full blooded RPG game and it plays better than I ever could have dreamed. I want to go back in time and give it to young me. ...Big updates and announcements soon from myself and @StudioLaBleue 🌘🌗🌕🌓🌒

Now THIS is space mining! ΔV: Rings of Saturn by @KoderaSoftware is a detailed sci-fi space mining sim where you fling yourself into the rings of saturn. Get shiny rocks to sell to fund your next run and hopefully some upgrades too. Or explode horribly! youtube.com/watch?v=It94Jshr…

Collaboration with @KoderaSoftware this is mostly working. #screenshotsaturday Regardless of agent count computationally is O(1) runs on GPU as single #GodotEngine shader. Next adding a terrain and path finding. #indiedev

A beautiful scene in the shadow of Saturn, with only the dim glow of sunlight scattered through the rings revealing the EVA operation taking place. Excellent #space #art by @zandoarts deviantart.com/zandoarts/art…

Do you want to fly a spacecraft that captures the feeling of family like Firefly and has the vastness of The Expanse? @KoderaSoftware tells about capturing the right tone in ∆V—Rings of Saturn in episode 266: buff.ly/2oeF8eh

Do you dream of crewing a real #spacecraft? Balancing the simulation of a real spacecraft but keeping it fun was a real difficulty faced by @KoderaSoftware in ΔV: Rings of Saturn episode 264: buff.ly/2oeF8eh

Hey #screenshotsaturday and #gamedevs humans. Planet rings have all the features I needed for Enterprise. Thanks to @KoderaSoftware for helping with this❤️ #shader looks clean so far, and it is time to give back to @godotengine what's his. Link to sources 👇

Looks like I finally figured out the math for shadows of the rings. Was in needed. No. Was it worth it. No. Why I did it? Because I taught it will be easy. It was not. But now, you do not have to do it yourself. I'll cleanup the source and share over the weekend.

Some progress(?) on the #shader for planet rings and shadows. Does this look right to you #astronomy humans?! Light position is in 2d space so it starting to hurt my brain debuging math. I'm regretting not going 3D with this. #GODOT #indiedev #gamedev #Space
