plant sim as an Editor tool for use in level design (removing all the game mechanics)
would this be useful as a (free) Unity package? I know there are better vegetation growing tools out there...

if you're into "Pixel Art 3D" please try my Blender add-on "Pixel Unwrapper"
been using it for a while, and it's at a point where I can just smash "Unwrap" and no longer need manual touch ups! (after adding seams)
(also get in touch because I might need help soon )

i always had struggles "dissolving" mesh particles,
especially since in this game I try to have no alpha transparency
progressive dithering doesn't always look good
but i have a new trick and it's great!
i just painted a super quick dissolve map in blender 😍
was so easy!

i want to make the tires sink into soft terrains (sand, mud)
without installing a whole dynamic tire tracks system
anyone got inspiration for sane ways to do this?

If you do anything with Unity Terrains you should check out MicroVerse on the asset store.
it's impossible to ever go back to hand painting terrain once you've experienced a non-destructive workflow 🤯

this is really not easy, hah 😂
I've seen the cynical view expressed that indies only do pixel games or "retro" games because it's cheaper and easier to produce them, and while I do agree that it's a factor for many of us, I maintain that restrictions encourage creativity.

doing triplanar mapping on the terrain, but instead of *blending* between the three samples, i pick the plane with the highest weight and sample once
(because mixing pixels is 🚫)
this can lead to the threshold being quite visible, so I added some wigglies based on the y-coord
