As a creator, sometimes you walk a fine line between genius and insanity.

And maybe hitting jellyfish through hoops has crossed that line and entered firmly into bonkers territory

fbx-parser This parser will parse FBX text files and convert them into a JavaScript-Object structure.. Latest version: 2.1.3, last published: 4 years ago. Start using fbx-parser in your project by running `npm i...

It looks like there's a JS library to parse them

But it looks super old

People on the internet have said a game needs "juice" so it gets googled and then "content creators" capitalise off that.

Juice is just feedback. Give the player satisfying feedback. But to understand what the player wants and to playtest is a lot harder than just making the screen shake.

My approach has been to treat every bug like a gift. And also some of them are so hilarious I’m glad they showed me!

Added a "tutorial" haha

Also it is the year 2025 and Unity doesn't do UI gradients out of the box?

(I will share the very simple shader graph below!)

If you want to come up with neat ideas, be sure you're feeding your brain an eclectic diet of weird stuff, seek out interesting experiences, and then go take a 5 hour shower.

What’s one valuable lesson you’ve learnt from #gamedev?

For me, coming from a backend web development background, it’s knowing that once a game is out there there’s no live updating or pushing fixes πŸ˜…

Damn I got so used to just pushing hot fixes and migrating broken data without users noticing 🀣
