Hi there! I've followed your tutorials for a long while now, and they're part of what got me into shader coding! There's one thing I've been struggling to figure out, though, and that's how you get the 3D internal perlin noise to work for the potions - I've looked into raymarching, and I've been able to create geometric objects and parallax effects, but I don't really understand how it is that you get the perlin swirlies to work in 3D. Once again, huge fan of your work! if you have any resources, or anywhere to go for tutorials on internal perlin noise, please let me know! I hope you have a wonderful day!!

hey tysm !! so a lot of programs actually have a 3d perlin noise function built in - figuring out how to get it usable actually was the thing that tripped me up for a while too!! in unity i believe there is a 3d noise function - i had to do like three nested for loops and called it like (pseudocode)

for (x <128) for (y<128) for (z<128) 3dnoisetexture[x,y,z] = perlinnoise(x,y,z,settings) or something like that, writing the noise to a 3d texture which i then saved and could read in the shader.... but each program is different on how you access it, if it's there at all, but usually there is !! if not though you will have to look up some 3d perlin noise implementations and write it yourself - it's what i had to do for another type of noise, worley noise

anyways thank you so much !!! feel free to ask for a deeper explanation if you need it i am a bit sleepy so i am kind of not super coherent atm

Any updates on progress?

5 unfinished parts remain, 4 of which are very close to finish!

congrats on oneshot!!!! you all put together a great game, and the art ESPECIALLY ties the whole experience together really nicely. I was wondering- what's your process for creating sprites? also, were there multiple people working on the art, or was it all done by you? also, who should i be following to get updates on future games like oneshot? ^u^ answer as many or as few as you'd like, I'm just really interested and curious

I did almost all the art, but @elizavq designed maize and george, and @girakacheezer drew a few sprites (lock and chain in the mineshaft, helped me animate prototype and cedric’s walk sprites, etc) when I was short on time

for future updates, you can follow me, @elizavq, and @girakacheezer.

Out of curiosity, what’s your favorite bird fact?

oh gosh i have way too many this was extremely difficult to narrow it down to ONE FACT.... i really like how hummingbirds can recognize faces! they also need to drink nectar around every 15-20mins to keep up the energy they need to fly! the white bellbird is the loudest bird on earth! ALBATROSSES CAN LOCK THEIR WINGS AND SLEEP WHILE FLYING!!! AND CAN SPEND SEVERAL MONTHS OUT AT SEA WITHOUT LANDING! THE CLUB WINGED MANAKIN HAS A SPECIFIC BONE AND WING SHAPED IN SUCH A WAY WHERE DURING MATING DISPLAYS IT CAN KNOCK THE FEATHERS TOGETHER FASTER THAN A HUMMINGBIRD TO PRODUCE A LOUD NOISE!!!! IT ALSO HAS VERY DENSE WING BONES WHICH IS STRANGE FOR A BIRD WHICH ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING HOLLOW BONES!!!! *i am forcibly dragged off stage*
