@beakman.studios: 3 unconventional tricks we use to optimise our game! We’re both big steamdeck players, and we want our game to run on as many devices as possible so optimisation has been a big point as we work on our upcoming roguelike - Barrow and Blade. Besides your typical techniques like occlusion culling, baked lighting, and object pooling, we’re using a few techniques that are a bit more novel so we thought we’d make a video giving a brief overview of them! All 3 of these techniques have the added benefit of helping us achieve the art style we’ve envisioned for the game, despite only being a team of two. If you want to hear more about Barrow and Blade, our upcoming game that combines hack and slash roguelike dungeon crawling with a tactical shopkeeping deckbuilder, we’d love if you’d drop us a follow and join the discord in our bio! #roguelike #indiegame #gamedev #creatorsearchinsights

im learning to build a game from scratch and learning pixel art planing to drop the pixel art since im going dive 3d but this give me inspiration to keep going learn to pixel art while embracing the 3d

Love seeing art direction and performance pull in the same direction. Are you building toward a particular frame-rate target on Steam Deck?

Wait the shadow tip is genius

Does that mean that every projected environment piece is alpha blended? did you have any issues with overdraw?
