Sharing some core game development tips that I learnt over 6 years of working on and completely remaking the game. P.S yes I see the center seam, I took awhile to film so the lighting changed 😆 #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame #gamer #game

The semester is moving fast so I’ve been focusing on a lot of the little details right now. I tried a new method making the fire vfx and just went back in and updated some things I had already in engine before. It feels like the list of things I want to add keeps growing but im constantly taking small steps to improve. #gamedev #artist #explore #zbrush #artstudent #artistsoninstagram #reels #gameartist #gameart #videogames #unrealengine #gamedesign #games #art

Just a prototype of game to have fun in my spare time .. I hesitate between Godot and Unreal engine, but I am really tempted by just using ThreeJs, which is not a game engine but if I just want a simple online browser game, and since I am comfortable with coding in JavaScript, threejs could help me build my own little engine quickly for a simple game... Have you tested these engines??
