cleaning my screenshot folders out, I really like this one from when I was first developing the environment editor :)

There's something so validating about seeing skilled people use the tools I've created

ddos-ly reminder that ktisis can autosave your poses if the game DCs 🗣️

published my first Vintage Story mod. that's fun! mods.vintagestory.at/chatemojis

big news for gay people 🗣️ the Pathfinder plugin is back on dalamud testing today! a useful tool in any modder's arsenal to find environmental assets, monster models, NPC gear, and more originally by @chirp.bsky.social, i'll be working on new development going forward ‼️ #xivmods #xivmodding #plogon

everybody knows im a

every reason I had for wanting to quit xivdev has only been validated further since doing so lol, but touching grass has been great, I've been happy to distance myself from it

We should all touch grass

I'm happy with this post. I think this is the most permissive we've seen Yoshi-P talk about third party tools before, and it makes me feel less hopeless about everything I do. he seems to understand the passion/curiosity that drives our (and most other games') modding scene

development of Ktisis will now be taken up by @cazzar.dev and @bwuny.heliosphe.re going forward, both of whom have already made some excellent contributions in past releases. I'll be in the background helping them out where I can until they have it fully in hand. show them some love! ❤️

update re transferring Ktisis: there are plenty of people who would be able and willing to keep it maintained for patches at the very minimum, so there's no need to worry about that - but I'm deliberately reaching out to developers who I know can do a good job of building on and improving it first

have you heard about this cool new plugin called Saint Mocianne's Arboretum (Hard)? how about The Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme)? it might even be the next big Mare

anybody who actively wants to host the Mare successor is not someone you should trust to host the Mare successor

Since many are using Ktisis today for the MCDF upload, I wanted to share my favorite testing Ktisis feature, Inverse Kinematics. It allows you to lock hands and feet in place, and have it move with arms and shoulders. It's very handy for people learning to pose, figuring out body positioning.

Thanks to @chirp.bsky.social, MCDFs can now be loaded with Ktisis. Can't make new ones, but we can use old ones again. It's a start, Happy Posing!

questing for more efficient crabbing fashionscape game on point

will be reaching out to people about handing over Ktisis tomorrow but in the meantime, big thanks to @khayle.net for helping to maintain my smaller plugins over the last few patches, namely SelfCare and GoodOmen

something I've been considering for a while, but I'll likely be looking to step away from XIV modding while passing development of Ktisis onto a new team, if I can find people who are both capable and willing to do so

sad to see mare taken down like this plugin developers were always aware of the risk that comes with it, but it was rare for SE to take any action against them. unfortunately, this sets a new precedent that I worry may have a ripple effect on the rest of the plugin ecosystem

a lot of people wouldn't get it, and that's fine, but this is a sad and difficult time for everyone involved directly or indirectly in the plugin community. my heart goes out to archon for having a passion project of three years ripped out from under him

Ktisis has been updated for 7.3, along with some additional improvements/fixes in the testing branch 🎉

new glam and glasses look v cute

Lyna for the FFXIV playing card deck today #FFXIV

capybara

get rotated idiot

moon cat

the moonbase alpha TTS plugin is ⚠️ NOW AVAILABLE ⚠️ on the dalamud plugin testing repository. have fun

made a plugin for cosmic exploration

They are having a very important talk. I'm sure of it!

ok I did it packet deobfuscation library go github.com/perchbirdd/U...

got accepted into the course I wanted 🎉

there's quite a bit of pride in seeing git annotations from 2023 and 2024 in the code I'm currently working on and still being happy with the general state of the codebase lol, it's nice

$10k GOAL HAS BEEN MET FOR @thetrevorproject.bsky.social !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FFXIV COMMUNITY!!

quick little thing I've been wanting to do: holding shift while moving an object will snap it to a point in the world hit by a ray cast from the camera

turns u into a namazu

UI code might just be the bane of my existence LMAO but fuck it, we ball 🫡

Some UI cleanup to alleviate the excessive number of windows - object editors (except character) and import/export options will be folded fully into a single object editor window, previously the transform editor.

just hanging out with my best pal, untargetable target dummy left over from a hotfix

Changed the gear blender addon so it can handle the old shitty ARR-gear. These materials were automatically generated with no manual adjustments (although you can easily make those if you want to). Pretty happy with it :D

got yet another change in medication coming up, hope this next one works without the heart palpitations lol

here's a little tutorial on how to make use of Ktisis 0.3's lighting functionality! The interface is likely to change going forward so this might not be up to date for all that long I had 3 minutes to explain this and no script forgive me for how deeply unprofessional I sound LOL

released Alpha 2.1, now with EXDSchema support: github.com/NotNite/Alph... I don't think I've posted about Alpha before but it's my neat lil FFXIV Explorer + Godbert replacement. try it out if you're the type to be staring at FFXIV Excel sheets all day

Seeing plugins are back up but that customize+ is still down and in lieu of whining I am once again realizing how much I love and depend on it which I think is the perfect prompt to plug Risa's ko-fi as a way of saying thank you when it's most obvious how impactful it is ko-fi.com/risadev

going to be pretty normal about warframe btw I'm obsessed kinda bounced off it in 2017 and 2019 because I didn't vibe with it that much. now there's so much stuff that appeals to me in the best way. it's great

InvariantCulture strikes again

pushed another update for Ktisis testing following up on the compatibility fixes for 7.2 - fixed a few long-standing issues with crashes and other bugs. slowly pulling myself out of a rut with the change of season, and there's much more I want to get done if time and energy allows

latest updates for warframe and ffxiv have both been pretty fun. not getting bored anytime soon 🫡

currently applying to start studying for an undergrad degree. big year ahead
