How did you achieve that sick visual style of noodles? What shaders and materials did you use?

Thanx!No special shaders tho; I think most of it is just Unity's default. I'd say the visual style is built more from particular shapes/design and use of color, rather than materials/shaders. Hope this helps a bit?

Sadly I couldn’t make it to A.maze Berlin this year (after 3 years of visiting and finally having a game nominated, go figure) but my buddy Richard Boeser (Ibb & Obb, Chalo Chalo) was up for being my Berlin PA and helped with setting things up and snapping these impressions. So, thanx A.maze for putting Noodles in the spotlight and to all the people who gave it a try: I hope it made you hungry for more :)

Noodles got nominated for A.Maze Berlin 2017!

Super happy to see Noodles along this year’s a.mazing line-up. So if you’re in the neighborhood and up for weird waking dreams, colorful polys and very cryptic hints, drop by at the festival and give Noodles a try!

Noodles gets an update!

It’s been a swift (and rather chilly) 4 weeks since I finally pressed that publish button for Noodles and I’m quite amazed with the responses it’s gotten. I never would’ve thought people would put it on their let’s plays! The new build has a much more solid save system, so continuing your progress should go smoothly now. I wouldn’t recommend loading your old game tho as that might lead to new conflicts, sorry.  Some of the puzzles received new/more clear hints (I noticed in the previous version some players weren’t sure if they bumped into a bug), but of course I’m still not explaining *too* much ;) Loading scenes should also go a lot quicker now, and there’s a bunch of code that I re-wrote to make the game more consistent and stable.

You can find Noodles here on itch.io.

For any comments, questions or bug reports please do reach out; you can find me @zerbamine on twitter/tumblr/itch.io, etc. Have a nice weekend!

Noodles now available on itch.io for Windows & OS X

After lots of tiny and not so tiny code rewrites, I think I’m finally happy enough with this version of Noodles to share it with you guys.

It’s been a long and fun process –well, mostly fun, although sometimes deeply frustrating– that started out as a little playground for learning the basics of C# and Unity and as a way to translate my game-inspired work to make it back into a game. I hope you guys like it!

Many thanx to my very patient tester friends who helped me get rid of the many bugs and kept me motivated, to Tomasz Kaye (of Chalo Chalo) for the car/traffic scripts he made as a birthday gift, and to Marcel Herkelman for getting involved with the audioscapes.

Summer is over and winter is coming! Back in the studio and working on a new editorial for @decorrespondent about the unlikely similiarities between the climate change lobby and privacy control. That's right! #editorialillustration #3d #c4d #lowpolyart #changetheworld #inconvenienttruth

Preview of a new landscape I'm working on. Saw some gorgeous pictures of Yellowstone geysers on my feed that got me inspired to make this one. The dutch polders could do with some geysers :) #surreallandscapes #3d #lowpolyart #illustration #minimallandscape #wanderlust
