Daniel / Caaz

Hi! I'm Caaz. I make games, shaders, and websites! I'm looking for work, and in my spare time I like diving into interesting problems and projects! You can find more about me on my site at caaz.me

Anyone know where I can find skeleton references for marine animals (or others, anything helps)? Hoping to get a few viewpoints so that I can model one accurately (though now that I'm thinking of it I don't need to be that accurate, just not spirit halloween level wrong)

I'm 95% done with implementation for 8omp! Let's do a #screenshotsaturday with this little tech demo reel showing the main mechanics that'll be included. Getting the perfect loops for these gifs is one of my favorite things to do... just don't ask me how many tries this one took 😅 #pico8

I love little tutorials that break things down into steps because you can kinda follow them to make a shader, following the rules laid out. Not the perfect star implementation or anything, but it's really fun! #godot #shader #gamedev #space #indiedev

I could just like, stare at every single pixel here on loop forever there is so much detail and fluidity and I am blown away

This is so very worth diving into! Pico8 is a blast and I am so excited to jump into picotron I may just not sleep aaaa

I also want Vertical Slice to evolve beyond the confines of a traditional paper. That's why I'm launching The Repository, a growing (free) collection of pitch decks and design docs donated by generous contributors including @kitfoxgames.com, @outersloth.com, and @outerloopgames.bsky.social.

hey everyone here is a brand new totally free CC0 font for your collection please enjoy :) 12px height, contains latin extended, latin supplemental, gender symbols, maths symbols, cyrillic, runic, and probably more not-jam.itch.io/not-jam-seri...

I just like space ships

Last night I learned how sky shaders work. This is going to massively up my gamedev skills #indiegamedev #godot #shader #space

We've been cooking up a charity stream for 10 October! Please join us for our 12 hour stream ✨🐰

#FallingBlockJam 2026 entry coming along! I've been trying to figure out a good scoring system, and while time feels like the obvious choice, it doesn't feel very good. It's a bit tricky to plan once there's a lot of pieces on the board. #gamedev #feedbackwanted

If you're an artist keep learning, practicing & creating. A bunch of people who have no clue how anything works will tell you to give up, you suck, you'll be replaced etc. These are societal pressures artists have always faced, learn to build resilience. You'll be alright.

Day two of #FallingBlockJam 2026 and I think I've got an interesting proof of concept! Trying to match the spaghetti theme with spaghetti code!

My dumbass now that the falling block jam has begun itch.io/jam/falling-...

Finally watched the princess movie. Better than I could have expected. I give it a 10/1 for sure.

Finally finished my Wolfenstein 3D-style demake of Call of Duty's classic Zombies mode #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev Play it here: BBS: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=159... Itch: rossmccormick.itch.io/pico-der-unt...

Every time I try to learn about Blender's Geometry Nodes I feel like I need to drink. Like, not alcohol, but... gasoline, maybe?

Been playing around with my terrain rendering shader in Godot (the same one on my pinned post!) Updated it so that the normals can be inferred from the heightmap alone, so now I can use noise textures for world generation! #gamedev #indiedev #shader #godot

🌟JUST GET THE FLAG STEAM PAGE 🌟 I'm so happy, my game has a steam page and a trailer! 🎮 80+ handcrafted levels 🧩Solve puzzles at your own pace 💡Master special blocks with a variety of powers Sharing would help me a lot 🫶🏼 #steam #indiedev #godot #godotengine 🎵 by @juliengcomposer.bsky.social

Save the Date! on 10 Oct 2026, @owen.burger.moe and I are going to be doing a charity fundraiser in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, in dedication to my brother who passed away from infantile leukemia. Please look forward to it!

Managed to finally get an evening of #gamedev on #RivalRacer in! Mostly just fixes right now to the handling right now and aside from some minor things, it alredy feels nice. I also put in a new test track with some test textures I did

Anyway here's what it looks like on a track by people who know how to make tracks. Also tuned the camera and floating a bit better #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Anyway menus up and here's how it looks in the actual use case!

Well little toddler-proof storybook project coming along fine, I just gotta work out some menus for selecting stories and populate the pages with some data.

Double reposted because I wanted to add that my projects aren't dead, just resting.

reminder to YOU that sometimes art takes a while!! and that's okay. make sure you learn a lot and do your best and you'll reach the finish line with something to be proud of :)

Added wall buys, so there's a few more weapons to choose from now in the starting room #pico8 #gamedev #indiedev
