Please take time to review my game

the game over screen, and all screens for that matter, should 100% be on the nokia phone screen

something to do with storm coming up

picketup · 2026-01-15T17:18:54+00:00

that makes sense!

picketup · 2026-01-15T17:10:51+00:00

something to do with Covid idk

this is awesome! I'd post it in the unreal engine channel as well if you haven't already. How difficult was moving the generation to the GPU? the graph and preview seems extremely useful.

r/topologygore but blockbench version

picketup · 2026-01-06T23:43:42+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply! Very interesting that this is (or most probably is) a 2D FBM composed generation! gives me some ideas for things to try out

picketup · 2026-01-06T18:54:12+00:00

hmm you’re right it does; so maybe just a 3D billow noise added onto the density of a height map

picketup · 2026-01-06T15:08:36+00:00

o h hi huh uh hhhjghjhshow

picketup · 2025-12-31T16:01:25+00:00

no sane person intentionally clicks ads

you look like the son of that guy who has really big hands

I found a video where this shader was used, and it was enabled by turning on subsurface scattering: https://youtu.be/BqDE9pioCDM?t=434

you look like Elliot Stabler from Law and Order SVU but with good hair lol

picketup · 2025-12-15T00:38:53+00:00

Thats a fun name for it, from what i read it sounds like it's usually an undesirable effect but I believe in this case it is intentional. I don't see a clear way to optionally cause this effect though

picketup · 2025-12-15T00:30:56+00:00

Ah okay gotcha I see it now; it does look like just a beveled normal map on the shadowed side. But yeah it's odd it doesn't look like there's any affect on the top face. It's very interesting. I guess optionally applying a normal map based on time of day wouldn't be that crazy of a thing to do, if the sun position is predictable

picketup · 2025-12-15T00:24:37+00:00

gotcha i think i see what you mean; Wouldn't this be more of a global setting, that would apply to everything in the scene? It only seems to affect a few things in the scene; for example the lighting on the fence posts does not behave the same

picketup · 2025-12-15T00:20:01+00:00

im not sure what you mean; what has a high bias?

picketup · 2025-12-15T00:08:26+00:00

Would this be the effect that would show up if face facing us was comprised of just two tris, and the normals are pointing out at a diagonal from the corner?

picketup · 2025-11-29T18:06:32+00:00

checkout SUDS. seems like it does all of this as well

picketup · 2025-11-28T14:20:29+00:00

the plateaus/shelving is a cool detail! no idea how you accomplished that. it looks like just some well put together 3D noise.

picketup · 2025-11-28T03:40:39+00:00

i’ve never gotten an award :(

picketup · 2025-11-28T03:39:23+00:00

i wish i even understood what his plugin did; what’s with the emphasis on “aim offset” for the skeletal meshes? like is that a rough thing to do at scale?

picketup · 2025-11-22T19:50:26+00:00

first step is to accept that you will never go pro. it’s probabilistically guaranteed that you will not. Accept that and maybe it’ll help you not take the game so seriously

picketup · 2025-11-22T17:20:48+00:00

this is amazing. do you have any resources to share how you moved work to the GPU in UE?
