Video

Please do it with the color so that you can roughly see which ubgrade level the item has

11:05 the bottom of the shovel appears to the top because it overflows the frame

What is your chair ? Do you recommend ?

Why not render the icons directly from Blender ? You already got all the models, can easily create empties object for anchor, and a little bit of python to batch all of that :)

I can imagine the frustration a decompiler or someone trying to find the asset for the in-game icons in a future release, just to find out they're all custom rendered hah

I love your office! Could you make a video on how you care for all those plants / what kind they are? (And the desk! What a great desk. I want one!)

what blender version you're using in this video?

Random question: you already have an image after it’s already generated the first time why not just text the width and the height of said image before closing to your post processing, whichever one is larger. Since you know the size of the desired icon, you can take three larger size add a fixed padding size then scale that new size down to fit in the icon

what game engine do you use?

Thanks to your OpenGL lectures 8 years ago, I am very happy now. Although we have never actually met, you were the best mentor in my life. Above all, the two things I was most grateful for are as follows: 1) I found out what I was passionate about. 2) I was able to build essential skills in parallel with theory. Following in your footsteps, I started developing indie games, and I am currently having a successful career as an indie game developer. I am experiencing firsthand that where there is passion, there is a future. Thank you again.

You have a really nice office. Literally my dream home office lol!! Oh and thanks for sharing your journey 😂 I'm just getting started making a game and your story is inspiring!

not touching that damned dev"GeNie"academy tutorial ever again.

That was super inspiring! I started making games back before engines were a thing, but these days, I really do prefer to use one. I find that Godot, being FOSS, is a fantastic, minimalist engine that strikes the perfect balance between home-rolled and the mythical "maek gaem" button.

To reduce your workload, instead of upgrade every time you could upgrade at milestones like every 3 upgrades it gets a texture change. Then people will want to upgrade to milestones instead of just 1 upgrade at a time

I hope generated pictures are cached, you probably do not want to re-generate these again and again literally every time picture of icon is needed to be drawn.

Could we have your coding setup? Coding lang, libraries, editor, workspace, etc.

Hey Thin, are you still using LWJGL 2 or you updated to the last version, LWJGL 3?

Why didnt you develop Socuwan? It looked so cool

We miss the tutorials

I couldn't find if anyone else asked this, but what is the table top game you were playing with your friends after pizza??

Love this system, my only thoughts were it might be a little confusing to a player if different tools have different things that display the speed, for example the watering can using just colour and the spade has different elements change. So looking at the hotbar you might have a blue spade and a blue watering can but both had different level upgrades. Not sure what you can do to the watering can to visually show the upgrade as just using colour can also be an accessibility issue with colour blind players. Maybe a symbol that could be used across all tools that shows the speed level.

Your work is very inspiring! Please keep sharing the progress, I'm sure it'll will help alot of people.

Hey! I know this is nearly half a year late for feedback, but a niche thing to maybe keep in mind; for those with ultrawide screens (21:9/32:9 respectively), having UI elements that are snapped to the edge of the resolution can make it difficult to always have those UI elements in sight. Having those elements snap instead to interior aspect ratios (16:9 or 16:10, 4:3, etc) makes it a huge convenience for those of use not equipped with frog eyes 😊

What engine u using

Kind of unrelated but I really need to know what your office chair is dude! Thanks in advance 😅

ngl, kinda jeallows of that office and view.. I should get some plants

Really dislike the RPG/fantasy like models for the upgrades. Feels like it clashed with the general realistic and grounded esthetics. Maybe the tools could rather go from shoddy to sleeker and more functional/ergonomic.

I'm new here but, if you are already using JVM for your game, why not kotlin?

is that Unity or Godot or some other engine you're using?

Always the best.

Honestly, I could see that little icon generation program being something useful to release on its own. Really nice stuff!

That was amazing! Loved the way you used procedural generation, seeing this makes me want to jump into game dev as well.

Bro How did you learned LWJGL3?

He is using LWJGL 3

I don't think you need to update the model so much. Just have thresholds you need to cross in order to update the visuals of each tool. Maybe 3 visual thresholds. Those water cans and shovels look ridiculous lol

Some ideas: Start with a water bucket. Just a bucket XD. And first upgrade will add a spout. With the size, you might want to sacrifice "perfect framing" only for "upgrade menu". An icon in the inventory can still be a perfect frame, but in Upgrade menu you start with a tiny tool! Great work, as always! Thank you for inspiration c:

Why does the food always look so good

that's so cool!

Java.. Are you using some library? And how did you learn all these concepts? Also love your work desk, I wish I could have such work desk.

For tha watering can and the area: Just you different shapes: small/middle/big circle THAN small/middle/big triangle, square, Rectangle...

Thank you! This video helped me a lot

who gets comments on 6 year old videos - well you did it - thanks for the great explanation especially with how to recalculate the normals. That really helped me out a lot 🙂

Hello - instead of using ur tool to export images - which you might miss if you make a new item, why don't you just asyncronously generate all them (not tools) when the game loads up?

I'm curious if you plan on ever continuing Socuwan? It looks pretty nice in those latest versions

16:02 Me: "I'm totally not compensating for anything."

Skins unlocked Micro transactions next...

Awesome work!

This comment may be a bit late, but what if in the game you add a radio object which when clicked opens some sort of UI which lets you play songs, or playlists and that changes the background music of the game. So before you place or have a radio the background music is just random but when you have a radio the player can choose what song/songs are playing.

UI revamp looking amaziiiiing! great job 👏
