Felt the need to post this because the current opinion of Miyamoto.

if I get to 1200 followers, I'll take a Gameboy Camera photo of a chip.

Indeed

This also didn't get noticed because there isn't many super high ledges you can fall off in the demo level.
Many of them have fences around them.

To be granted I shouldn't have done it this way. Grabbing the floor collision normal makes a lot more sense, but everything related to diving was a last minute addition to an already spaghetti coded player controller.

A cheesy diagram explaining this

Just fixed a super funny bug where you would downwarp at lighting speed if you fall off a ledge when diving because of the way I programmed it to find angle and speed.

It compares your Y position to a raycast hit Y position firing slightly above your next position.

Level 2 progress:
Gems - 80
Brushes 7/10

Got a lot of progress done today. While I'm not ready to exit the blockout phase yet I am very close.

The other two rooms of the level won't be that big so it won't be a problem.

If you ever see somebody in your replies who is rude and arrogant at you then just assume its a bot.

Social media platforms do use bots like that to push you to engage more often.

Ignoring them helps loads both from a mental health and use of time standpoint.

ExtendedDrawDistance v0.0.3 Increases the game's draw distance.

A extended draw distance mod for the Banjo recomp has been made.
It looks super surreal seeing everything like this.

Video games are so much better when you can just pick up and enjoy stuff without people using bad faith arguments on why they are the worst thing ever

classics of level design

They should add Garfield if I'm to be honest.

Do note that this is basically only possible when long jumping.

Was improving how inputs get polled while entering a dive and accidentally made 180 dive turns possible.
Do I keep this? Its kinda fun and I imagine would give for crazy speed tech.

Don't get me started on how bizarre animations are in Goldsrc/Source lol
Each animation is defined with its own framerate in the .qc file to compile models so they are all over the place and never consistent.

If you are wondering about Half-Life 1 - they didn't unwrap models into single textures.
They used dozens of textures per model which takes up a ton of memory.

For reference on what was considered standard at the time: This is the texture unwrap for Doomguy in Quake 3 Arena, released a whole year later.
Despite this the UVs are far less optimized, lots of empty space.

People give Blood 2: The Chosen a lot of flak for reasons that are wholefully deserved (bad gameplay, level design, etc) but the actual quality of the model UV unwraps were insane for 1998.

This is old but I am still feeling this way up to this day.

Super Donkey Kong 3: Mysterious Kremis Island

I don't like that I understood this entire sentence

This is what 90% of my replies on twitter feel like

Happy birthday!

guys don't tell Cruise but this is a real leak from Annalynn MD i'm not supposed to show it but please don't tell him

Like yes have your game run at half the frame rate for fancy lighting that ghosts all the time,,,

I feel like the real-time raytracing boom was the start of the tech slop epidemic.
