the goose can dance now. it looks… unconventional, but progress is progress. animation editor is coming along. #threejs #gamedev #indiedev #devlog

hard to believe this is just 20 days of progress.

hi, i’m a solo dev working on a 2d-to-3d editor for pixel art.it lets you draw sprites, turn them into animated voxel models, and export to glb.still in early dev, but i’m sharing updates like this one.follow if you’re curious

new interface for my 2d-to-3d editor is coming along.but more importantly, the goose is back.and now he can swim. #indiedev #gamedev #voxelart #threejs #devlog

using LLMs doesn’t feel like magic.you’re more like Johnny Mnemonic, streaming terabytes of info through your brain in minutes.it’s like reviewing hundreds of pull requests a day.

i just can’t stop. been coding over 12 hours a day for the past few days.day job, then hobby project.not sure how long i can keep this up, but the progress feels amazing.

still working on my 2d-to-3d editor. just rewrote the entire animation system and built a new interface from scratch.here’s a quick demo showing how easy it is to add a new animation clip to a 3d model. #indiedev #gamedev #voxelart #threejs #devlog

you can now import existing pixel art and generate a 3d model from it, not just draw from scratch.decided to add this earlier than planned since people started asking if the editor could make anything other than a goose. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #voxelart #devlog #threejs

still improving the 3d preview. models now react to lighting and the volume is much more noticeable.curious to hear what you think. #indiedev #gamedev #threejs #voxelart #devlog

working on a tool that turns 2d pixel art into animated voxel-style 3d models.no demo yet, still deep in development.just wanted to share the progress and show what it’s starting to look like.this goose was made entirely inside the editor

still working on the editor, and there’s still a long road ahead.on the bright side, the 3d preview now matches the project’s visual style and the goose has a hat.he didn’t take it off because he just got home from work. #indiedev #gamedev #threejs #devlog

thanks to the work of @KenneyNL i was motivated to start building my own editor. huge thanks. if you ever get the chance, make sure to support him.

Wow.

it’s incredibly counterintuitive that games with huge budgets and visuals like AC lose, in my eyes, to something made from a few 2d assets and a single-level loop.

just thought about what games i actually enjoy playing the most. turns out there isn’t a single AAA or AA game on that list. it’s all indie. i’ve spent over 50 hours in brotato and vampire survivors alone.of course there are exceptions like bg3 and clair obscure.

My bet: AI won't replace us. We see highlight reels and assume stunning images come from one prompt. In reality, you need a carefully crafted prompt or solid reference. "Please make it beautiful" won't cut it - domain knowledge still rules.

this is the moment i realize i'm building something people actually want. honestly, i wasn't prepared for such a positive reaction

just posted my first dev update on reddit and the @godotengine community was incredibly welcoming. big thanks to everyone there.

My goose can almost walk now. Working hard on the animation editor to make that dream a reality. Follow if you want to see him waddle soon. #threejs #gamedev #indiedev #devlog
