I've been enjoying this thread and I love a lot about what you've been posting, but I just wanted to call out specifically that I love how the edg bevelling on the blocks both looks really cool and helps visual readability of caves and overhangs. Really looking forward to playing this some day!

The cover of "The Dream of Rome" by Boris Johnson. It features the man himself, peeking out from behind a white Roman column with a weird little half-smile like he's nervous about asking you out, or like he's stalking someone while imagining the "meet-cute" he will eventually engineer with them once he has learned their daily routine inside and out.

And one of them bears a cover where he nervously stands behind a Roman column for moral support.

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist): the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much. you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

I know it might end up feeling like wasted work but my gut feeling on this is to make the game you want to make, and THEN make concessions later if you have to, don't compromise it from the beginning. (It's also way easier for me to say this to someone else than to convince myself...)

"hey eni whatcha working on"

oh thanks for asking, im working on

This one has been a long time coming, obviously, and for silly reasons, but so it goes. Thankfully, I haven't been idle the whole time, I've still been working away at Five Words of Power. It's slow, but it's progress at least!

New dev log posted, looking back at 2024 (somehow this is not a joke).

Changed the melee attack to a slash, which is what I wanted it to be originally. I had to add directional sprites to projectiles first, which was a little tricky.

Also expanded the UI so you can have more health and ammo.

It's always interesting to see how things land differently for people! Technically I used Unity before Godot but I've used Godot way more at this point, and it's weird to me that Unity draws a strong distinction between scenes and prefabs -- why treat them differently?

An anime-looking elf holding a crystal mace against her back, standing in front of some inner forest cast in light rays. The shoulder pads on her chest-only armor are very wide. You swear you watched the show at one point, despite it never existing.

Got bored. Realized I've never actually attempted that extremely specific 90s anime poster shading. Materialized an elf off the cover of some OVA you walked by at Blockbuster to shade.

Chronicles IV: Ebonheim is a classic dungeon-crawling CRPG with nuanced character building and brutal, turn-based tactical combat.

That sounds about right for 3d camera implementation, haha. It looks great, or at least... reasonable... and then you try to rotate and discover you need to redo the math from scratch AND stock up on anti-nausea meds 😅

Particularly confusing because it turns out that opaque black can turn into fully-transparent red, so if you're unlucky with your tests it can look like it's not doing anything at all!

Yeah! Both make total sense, it's just one of those things where sensible internals lead to a surprising interaction. I was a bit confused so I figured if I spent the time working it out may as well throw it out there in case it trips anyone else up. :)

If you want to build up a pixel array in a PackedInt32Array and then make an Image out of it, set the pixel data with Color.to_abgr32(), rather than Color.to_rgba32(); this will mean your byte array ends up with the bytes in the order Image.FORMAT_RGBA8 expects.

Unintuitive #godotengine note of the day: Image.to_rgba32() returns an int32 with the R component in the high order byte, while PackedInt32Array.to_byte_array(), encodes your int32s to bytes in a little-endian way (i.e. low order byte first).
