An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

Photo of my sketchbook opened on a sketch of Reiko Nagase, the virtual idol from the Ridge Racer series. She's leaning on the hood of a Bisonte from R4 Ridge Racer Type 4. Lyrics of the intro "Urban Fragments" are written behind her : "He's the one for me There's no place I'd rather be yeah yeah yeah To the finish line Everywher you look he's right on time"

Thirty-nine
I've never skipped the intro

If you want some help with this let me know. I've worked a lot with all kinds of networking stuff like UDP and use Godot regularly (though haven't done networking with it but it looks simple enough), don't know anything about SAMMI but the "Send UDP Packet" command looks about how I would expect

Accidentally had the day and night cycle sped up for this, but enjoy seeing the full thing 😅
I'm hoping to work on some new mechanics and a new location soon but this camera change was necessary for some of the things I want to try out.

Updated the camera to stay more centered behind the vehicle and look more upwards/forwards.
Will likely need some more tweaking but the sense of speed seems better overall and you can more clearly see the lovely sky which is a nice bonus.

The other cars are still pretty dumb but it's still fun to race against them or force them into a tree

Changed my tree models to use quad billboarding, I had wanted to get this kind of shader working for other kinds of trees and bushes mainly but I like how it turned out with these ones. May mix in my old models too for variation but we'll see

Thinking through this now though I'm kind of interested in trying to use it more properly again for a real wheeled vehicle with what I learned making this hover car.
Like I'm kind of curious how even something as simple as having a down force may have helped it's stabilization and control

I ended up just using apply_central_force and apply_torque to add all the simulated forces I needed.
Mainly thruster and rotation input forces, air drag forces, down force, and some self straightening forces that try to align the cars facing and velocity direction

For a regular car, not really as I don't use the engine force or steering. I also found it kind of hard to work with.
I guess one tip is be careful with how things are placed in the scene wheel position and center of gravity can make a big difference. Try looking at some real cars center if gravity

The gritty details in a debugging HUD

Got an initial NPC Car controller together. Definitely will need a lot of tweaking but it's looking like a solid base starting point

Added more environmental details. Added some rocks, more varied terrain textures and some forest ground cover.
Did a longer tour of the scene this time as I might be moving on from it soon with the lessons learned but I may try to get some early NPC cars working first

An alternative concept on the Greek god Hermes as if he could transform into a giant turtle. Watercolor paint on hot press watercolor paper

The illustration of Greek Deity Hermes following all that concept art I did for him :D

Thanks! I do often find myself absentmindedly driving around when I just booted it up to quickly test something. A good problem to have for sure 😅

Cleaned up the Car controller and tweaked physics. Also added downforce and direction specific air drag values.
Made this force visualizer debug tool to help troubleshoot and tune the forces and its pretty fun to watch. Might add some form of it to the dashboard

Video with them set to be visible to see them in action

Screenshot of the hovercar scene in the Godot Editor. On the left is the list of nodes which contains 12 separate VehicleWheel3D nodes and on the left is the car model with those wheels now set to be visible.

The hidden secret of my hovercar controller. Many invisible frintionless VehicleWheel3D nodes 😅

Was in the shader mines updating the look of the environment, lighting and post processing.
Was inspired by how some Ukiyo-e art depicts distant landscapes features with simple gradients/single colours with just a few additional lines to imply more detail.

Thank you! I really like your models and designs. Appreciate you putting the WIPs out there too.

Also tried creating a holo oversized t-shirt but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. By itself I think it came out well enough but I'm not sure how well it suits the character design

Some additional detail shots

Got a character model somewhat rigged and in game now. Seeing @holographic.pink's use of gradient textures inspired me to use one for the body texture which was a huge help and I am very happy with how it turned out, worked really well for creating the blackout tattoos as well.

Testing a new car placeholder model to see how I like the general shape and details. Also did more environmental work, creating more roads and adding bushes to better fill out the forest.
