One more song recorded for the Shipyard's game soundtrack!
This is a traditional folk song for dancing in local culture. Erwan liked this idea of "local science fiction".

🌊 Just updated our Patreon page with a new layout.⛴️
https://www.patreon.com/cw/Shipyard

Please support us so we can:
- Release a demo or early access faster and then finish The Shipyard.
- Make more creative commons assets & templates for Godot engine.
- Write more blog posts on art process and technical deep dives.

Support is wind in our sails to go a little bit faster and spend more time on this dream project instead of having to spend most of our time freelancing on the side to pay bills.

Continuing to develop The Shipyard's OST, this time by @prab_dev@mastodon.art with "Sea of Hirwazh". This one will serve as the intro to our first scenario.

@cozybuild@mastodon.social @khaleer@mastodon.gamedev.place Oh that might have been due to un-used data blocks not being preserved. this is a known issue with blender in general.

Make sure you click "save out all images" in the image editor when you are about to close a file. And "pack all into blend" in the file menu.

@cozybuild@mastodon.social @khaleer@mastodon.gamedev.place Pretty well for me! A thing
I like for example is setting the Ambient Occlusion (AO) to "multiply" blend mode, and paint in color on a layer under that. This nice to preview what the result will look like with AO in game for our stylized retro style.

We're starting a series of blog posts on various gamedev topics.
Here's @khaleer@mastodon.gamedev.place telling us about his workflow for stylized lowpoly assets using Blender and #krita.

https://niwl.games/posts/texturing-process/

If you'd like a deeper dive on a particular technique let us know in the comments.

Enough people have worked to help the shipyard and our gamedev COOP alive than can fit into one column! Drawing, godot scripting, modelling, music, writing.
Wow! It's becoming more real by the day.

That feeling when you're a low budget indie gamedev production but you keep increasing scope.

A little preview of the sky shader and scripted directional light created by @YoSoyFreeman@mastodon.gamedev.place.

This was tweaked for the past couple weeks and we're getting close to release.

#godot #godotengine lighting enthusiasts, we've got some stuff for you soon.
