Acerola Jam has ended and I was actually participating the whole time! I made a fully ray traced solitary confinement simulator with a realistic sun cycle driven by real world time. I made everything from the shaders to the materials to the music. The only thing I didn't make is the skyboxes.

Fun game from Acerola would be a real subversion of expectations

The real abberation here is all the work put into the ray tracer, only to use a point light for 90% of the room.

Man, I love the solar azimuth formula that renders circumstantial treatment unnecessary without compromising mathematical rigor: mathematical setup, application, and extension of a formula based on the subsolar point and atan2 function

"game where you play as a roomba" would make a great idle game. Let me buy upgrades for my roomba. Put my roomba through progressively more dire circumstances.

It was fun solving the puzzle. I actually live in Toronto, Ontario and have never been to Oregon!

I really liked the music theory presented the Acerola way 😄

@PhantomV36 21 день тому

not a musician but i'm glad you went into the music composition process, something that's often overlooked in game dev. also, nice succession theme rendition :D

Oh, I thought you'd add Rayleigh refraction for accurate sunsets/sunrises

Oh boy I wonder how he got the indirect lighting to look so nice.

i love that vertical look isn't clamped, so you can roll your head completely upside down

You might like the game Menagerie II: Presentable Liberty, it does pretty much what you described with the single room and a door that gets you various items

I had a great time, and really appreciated everyone's response to my game. It was my first time making an actual game, after spending years of making music and non-interactive video art using code.

that cat during the sponsored part is just genius

Dude, I skipped your videos for a few monts and damn, I see huge progress from working out, keep it up!

Just a note for the music; the F# is actually present as the second harmonic of the B already (if you play just a B on a piano, you can actually hear an F# ringing pretty strongly). So the resolution ends up being more a balance change than a resolution. But a cool idea!

This is so cool, I loved the music theory section. Your piano skills are seriously impressive too

Omg i'd give up so much for an full on Acerolla music theory tutorial. I wanted to get into music making, but all the tutorials i've been coming across are kinda hard to comprehend imo. Your teaching style would be perfet, and i imagine i'd finally be able to understand everything
