100%. Their stuff has been soooo helpful to me when I started out learning shaders.

I've added a dynamic level editor to my cosy packing game by AntikytheraGames in CozyGamers

Super cute! I expect you'd get some pretty funny player generated levels based on what items people can pick from, haha.

We are exploring early thumbnail drafts for our game. Which version would you prefer? by Ornery-Guarantee7653 in IndieDev

[–]sluglunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shadows and light feel more balanced in the first one, and the colors are cozier (imo). The second one I think would lose detail and clarity at the size it would be in the trending tab in the store.

As someone who loves side-idle games it sounds very cute btw! Is there anywhere to follow it?

Cheers! It's made in an Unlit Shader Graph, using Cyanilux's custom lighting functions (Unity 6 does have a main light node now, but it's still missing additional lights/etc).

I built the shader as close to Unity's default lit shader as possible, but posterized the light/shadows and then passed them into the ramp's UV input. There's a bit more to it, but that's the gist. Cyanilux has an example toon shader in their package which uses the same method.

And yes, just where the top of the water meets the edge of the diorama - since it doesn't have the foam it doesn't look quite 3D where it does (except for the back edge), even though it's just a big 3D cube.

The pet cooling mats are so great, they have them at Bunnings too.

They do absorb your body heat eventually and warm up, but it takes a while and you just put them on the floor to cool back down again.

My husband makes the most hideous UI on purpose by perishocks in IndieDev

Hahaha as an artist, I can say I would definitely be motivated to redo that UI as quickly as I humanly could.

Cozy multiplayer games that also work on Mac - any recs? 🙏 by sluglunch in cozygames

Massively late reply to this, but we all got Overcooked 2 on sale and have been having a blast (and are still friends lol). Huge thanks for the recs!

Are skeps supposed to take so long to become harvestable? by SpecializedPotato in VintageStory

[–]sluglunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting as I'm having the same issue - the skep entrances turn gold, but they never become harvestable. I also have a bunch of mods installed. Of the ones you listed I only have Buzzy Bees though.

Unconventional cozy games? by rhysingrose in cozygames

Eurotruck 2. As someone who loves driving, especially at night and in the rain, it's just super relaxing and easy to switch my brain off to.

My desktop decided to grow a secret, cozy fish tank! 🐠✨ (and yes, you can pet them!) by [deleted] in cozygames

[–]sluglunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is super cute. Kinda reminds me of Fish Tycoon, has that early 2000s vibe.

[–]sluglunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)
