Comme �a.

It snowed here last night, on the mountaintops - snow in this part of South Africa is pretty rare, so my friend picked me up and we went driving over one of the local mountain passes to go through the snow, and took the doggies with us. This was just after coming down the pass on the other side into the town of Franschoek.

I wrote a tl;dr post on Patreon about the tools I've been using to make art and levels for my game. It's a public post, so you don't have to be a patron to read it.

Perhaps it might be interesting to someone out there :'D

Finally, an update on this thing! Instead of doing actual work, I've been messing with more tree-generating tools.

The sketch-based generators still required too much human input for my tastes, so I wrote a generator that spits out trees with a single click.

The trees in the gif are straight out of the generator, no manual tweaks at all. Not perfect, but not bad at all for requiring one click to make.

Here's the idea that prompted me to write that parallax thingie. I wondered whether I could create a decent-looking 3D effect for things like buildings in a 2D engine, only using parallax layers that are slightly off. I can!

I expected to need a whole bunch of layers, but for very shallow objects like this gate, I only needed two. Deeper/thicker objects would need additional layers.

Including the two layers so you can see how it works.

Here's my parallax tool, in case any of you want to try it!

It scrolls images of differing sizes relative to each other, producing a parallax effect. I've included some sample images for you to try.

The animated GIF exporting is janky, and works best with pixel art. I should probably provide access to more of the GIF options but the UI's already a crowded mess.
