Little Tuesday Amiga Stream dives into Spelunky level generation! Watch how the tutorial's rocks and gold nuggets are randomized—tiny touches that make levels feel alive. Great peek at procedural design on Amiga hardware. #Spelunky #Amiga #GameDev #ProceduralGeneration #LevelDesign #RetroGaming #IndieGames #English

A progress report of sorts?

Over the past week I spent a lot of time and bothered a lot of very talented people on my quest to figure out Blender, Unity, and, in particular, proper/advanced Unity lighting techniques to deliver stunning lighting at a fraction of the cost of realtime global illumination, all aimed at overhauling my VRChat world which was based primarily on assets from Second Life which used full-bright diffuse maps with baked-in lighting and shadows. The goal was simple: change it from day to night, bake lights myself, simple as heck, but in the end it spiralled out of control with a lot of UV optimisation work and some custom items I modelled, unwrapped, and textured entirely from scratch.

Below is going to be a thread of pictures I took as I worked towards completing the overhaul.
