tried bitwig bc I think ableton/bitwig style insert effects and drum racks seem useful but.. . .. . do people actually live with a sample browser this slow. I dont think I can get past having to wait half a second for each sample when scrolling through a list of drums

imo youtube should be liable for defamation due to the quality of their auto dubbing feature whenever i click a video that has it on i think ive accidentally clicked on ai slop

mmo maxing this week but i swear it’s research!! for all the gamedev i don’t do

would you believe all of this playtime is just waiting for the launcher to install the game

ingerland???

i need to write short stories and learn to do worldbuilding someone hold a gun to my head until i do this

in antwerp tomorrow does antwerp have anything in it

umamusume seems fun but i don’t think i can play any gacha games anymore all the attempts to elicit fomo rly put me off

smh heatwave is over for now but i’m still getting owned by hayfever……

made a start on other terrains/terrain painting

Where did kart racers put the list of guys who are in front ui. i liked it a lot and I think downgrading it to tiny minimap icons just,, kinda feels lame in comparison. I think it made races feel more competitive? was very clear at all times who was in front and also when someone overtook someone

stamp tool I think next i want to get into painting different terrain tiles (which is going to mean a rework of how meshing works to be a bit more flexible)

need friends who force me into writing sessions against my will and then laugh at me for not being able to do creative writing

Added the ability to move/resize water planes

working on terrain editing tool. rn theres just a levelling tool that works sorta similarly to warcraft 3s cliff tools, but I want to add tools that set height directly and maybe let you make stamps so you can quickly copy paste stuff around (also need to improve how fallback autotiles look)

have a serious problem this week where i get distracted from whatever im working on,, open fl studio, and make hardstyle im not even a hardstyle producer help

undo support.. (lots of boring behind the scenes stuff I have to do before I can get to doing cool stuff lol)

making hardstyle in foobar2000

changed the mesh generation to be chunk based and starting to work on map editing stuff

more 2.5d tile stuff - using depth fog for a water shader, with a water tilemap acting as a mask so that the edges can look nicer

fixed up a bunch of issues with the autotiling and tile rendering + set up some noise terrain to test stuff + messing with a simple fog shader

continuation of bsky.app/profile/easy...: fancier tileset!! theres still some pixel gaps to fill though

start of a 2.5d terrain thing using a simple test tileset, because using a fancier one (e.g. bsky.app/profile/easy...) would involve writing fancier autotile code than I'm willing to at the moment inspired by alabaster dawn's rendering ( @radicalfishgames.com )

put together some cliffs bc i want to experiment with 2.5d terrain

@chevyray.dev Hi, I'm throwing together a program to view lots of fonts (e.g. from font packs like yours) because windows isn't really good at font browsing and I don't like the available software I could find for it ..(cont)

psa gamedevs stop wrapping text wrong please in godot you can set visible_characters to reveal text one character at a time, but you also have to make sure the setting is set to after shaping in unity you can use this docs.unity3d.com/ja/Packages/... if unreal. idk do something stupid and hacky

mixing tip if you find an instrument tiring to listen to you can just put a volume lfo on it and move on

birth day

old ppl do not have antibodies against ai nonsense facebook finally makes sense (experiencing the truth of this irl

covered the say fanfare intro in synthv to learn how to do the calls (?? shouts??? idk) otomachi una seems really good for this!!

anyone have history books they recommend? i’ve decided my understanding of history is Very lacking and there is prob a lot of interesting stuff to learn so i’ve started to read about the broad strokes (bc all the stuff i do know is missing a lot of context

petition to replace the leon at euston with something that’s not a leon i understand train station food has to be bad but surely there are standards

i caught up with wandering inn im free

no put civ 4 instead

cube

anyway time for…. wandering inn…… vol 9

enjoyed wind and truth. looking forward to reading more cosmere whenever those come out,,,, (i’ve read all of them so im def in the cosmere hole) i do think that the early stormlight books felt better written tho? plotting is still v strong but the moment to moment stuff feels more stuff

got to the fight with cassius in trails 3rd and he wiped my whole party with one attack. yeah makes sense

going to be up a mountain in a couple hours time to look up how to snowboard videos

been reading through crafting interpreters again and now i’m considering writing different bespoke VMs for 2 of my coding projects,,,

hex autotiles \o/

almost there,, just have to do transitions for the darker grass tile (not pictured)

hex autotile progress is being made

got hex tile auto tiling brainworm and now i’m trying to figure out how to make it easy to draw like 400 different dual grid tiles for transitions between terrains

it seems a little weird how ui based games often leave ui for last? (civ vii release) like, thats the main way to interact with the game. if the ui for doing something you have to do 10000 times while playtesting sucks thats like if you release a platformer and the movement doesnt work properly yet

@chevyray.dev out of curiosity, whats your current approach to doing more async game code in rust? e.g. scripting cutscenes with dialogue choices

www.cavestory.org/download/cav... reminder that you havent played cave story

soundcloud.com/easyname/set... ok i put together a soundcloud set of a bunch of vgm style ohc tracks!! so theyre all in one place for the first time ever lol

going to post some old ohcs (one hour compositions) here bc rn they are only on the former bird website should prob have posted them on soundcloud too lol

quantizers in the mod matrix are fun.. (lfo -> pitch, quantized to the overtone series)
