📝 Valve's Flickering Lights
Hi everyone! 👏
A few hours ago Reddit exploded on discovering that Valve has been re-using the same flickering code for almost 25 years, from "Half-Life" to "Portal". The same code also appeared in "Quake" and "DoomED".
This bite sized tutorial explains how the code works. A Unity package to replicate this effect is also available to $10+ patrons.
Making such a quick article was really fun! Let me know if this is something you would like to see more often! And as always, thank you so much for your support! 🙏

The byline from "Quake" to "Portal" kind of makes it sound like Valve made Quake. >.>
You're not wrong on this Karl! 😅 I went with "Valve" because this is how most of the articles who trended were titled. Do you have a better name to suggest? I'm open to suggestions! 😅 (in the meantime I'll make the working a bit more clear, thank you!)
