A few months ago, @BruteForceGame published a tutorial on how to achieve this lovely watercolour look using shaders. 🎨 It's really well written, and you should definitely check out both their website and their upcoming game (Crumble)!

One of the best ways to improve your creativity is—paradoxically—to design with constraints. Perhaps this is why the #pico8 community never failed to amaze me with their tiny creations. So, here's a list of PICO-8 DEMAKES, starting with possibly the best one ever made... /🧵👇

Despite all of its packages & assets, Unity has always lacked some good, solid support for drawing 2D shapes. In case you missed it, @FreyaHolmer has released a powerful & expressive library called Shapes that is finally filling this technical void. Get it & support her! 👇

we can model a lightning strike by finding the shortest path in a random maze, from a point at the top to the ground. To find the path, we send out a frontier through the maze, and trace it back once it reaches the ground

🔟 Lerping between Materials In Unity, you can "blend" between two different materials using Material.Lerp. This will lerp all properties with the same name. Usage: renderer.material.Lerp(material1, material2, t); #unitytips
