Arsing about with Godot and trying to get the same World to render differently from different cameras

Time for the annual fireworks display I get for free out my bathroom window

A rare lovely day for the cool and good politics

Also playing through Lords of the Fallen which is occasionally pretty

Good 👍

Still getting all these grifter emails

2-Week Work Gamejam Done!

Created an in-engine shader nodegraph to let (tech-)artists create custom shaders for the first time, and hook it all up to external events, hooray

And the post-gamejam funk is real 🫤
I'm running out of brain-itches to scratch

Letting agency: Agree to these terms and your rent won't go up

LA: Hi, your rent is going up

Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.

Spooky aiiiieeee

From the makers of the Apollo in Real Time websites comes a new experience with 500 times more data.

ISS in Real Time offers the chance to explore more than 9,000 days of photos, video and audio transmitted during the 25 years of continuous human residency on the International Space Station.

If anyone has any suggestions as what other info would be useful to add to my UK games composers database, now's the time to shout. What kinds of things would help you search through the profiles to find the people you need?

YouTube video by Lucas Pope Return of the Obra Dinn - Narrated Modeling Mega Timelapse

I've read through the Obra Dinn devblog a few times, and watched a few talks, so I'm super familiar with what's being talked about here and it's still fascinating - 2.5 hours of dev narrated timelapse!

That's the kind of detail you can get for your development time, if you remaster a game without changing ANY of the gameplay

Which means it's just as buggy and ass to play as it was on PS3 - it's not a very polished game

But this time around I finished it! Even with Maneater still being a shitshow

Some areas are just traditionally pretty

I'm a fan of spooky vibes, and the flapping banners silhouetted in the wind (middle-right) are perfect

Superfluous floor grating and barely noticeable pattern on the tiles
More wall detailing

Finally got around to playing the PS5 Demon's Souls remaster, just to gawk, mind you

Look at this nonsense amount of filigree and detail
Lovely wax

Psycho shower scene, but it's Pop Up Pirate

This is where my vibes are at these days

The grimace... the clutching hand...

I could watch this process all day

Man wins a Limmy improv story
