Let me know if you have any issues in the Scythe Discord.
Enjoy!
Even though this is a minor patch, a lot of crash fixes and refactoring was done, especially in the hotspot editor. Sometimes refactoring comes new crashes or regression, so report any in the 2025-05-21 23:18:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Massive update to UV/Texturing in this one. This is probably about 2.5 months of work, as I was working on this a bit right before I had surgery back in November. I've also attached 2 hotspot textures to play with (by 2025-05-06 18:03:58 +0000 UTC View Post

This is meant for complete beginners who are just opening Scythe for the first time. I walk through how to make a few different rooms by blocking them out, then finish with basic texturing.
I'll be re-making the beginner tutorial probably ev...

Here's a getting started guide on how to make rooms in various ways, then I show you how I make a hall with a door to a room and texture it all.
I realize I need a better mic.

Scythe isn't production ready yet, but here's what it's currently capable of and also some of its downsides so you see what the limitations are.

Showing the progress thus far on the block tool. If you're watching this and thinking "but it's not 1999, we don't make rooms out of blocks". You'll be able to do this with single plane rectangles (quads) as well. You can also just make a block an...

Boy this is a useful one. I added a way to maintain the aspect ratio so if you want to just stretch a wall to fit perfectly vertically, it'll keep the ratio and look beautiful in all directions.

It's still quite limited to what you can do right now, as this is all technically one mesh being extruded and sliced up, but it's still pretty fun and cool so far.
Cool what you can do with just a few working tools. Still a long way to go. 2024-08-12 04:16:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Some may not care about texel density, but I think it's important to get "close enough" to what the size should be on a face when you first apply a texture.
If you were making a minecraft-like game with 16x16 textures, you'd set your texel d...
