More vector math stuff today Keeping track of what space I'm operating in is wild I've got radians, linear 0-1, sometimes degrees if I feel like making a mistake It's like a new way of thinking, and handling spherical coordinates is really opening my eyes to the potential of this stuff

Why yes I guess you could say debugging is going well

😭😭😭

I SET IT TO DND SO I CAN STOP BEING OVERSTIMULATED. FUCK OFF

So Retro…!!!1!.. The jank midi is hilarious though youtu.be/ktUH8LKIIhM?...

Forgetting to turn on --!strict be like

Welp as part of getting my stuff set up for Lune I am now doing string manipulation which allows me to implement my own markup tags for serialising/deserialising data across processes... It's getting a little bit hectic but will be so worth it

Started making efforts to learn the Lune runtime today; the goal is to get my renderer running on it!

🤨

Oh would you look at that

PNG support added now the whole sky can be wega

After seeing how screwed up the 'full' release of macOS Tahoe has become (+32GB calculator app memory leak, UI woes), I think I understand why power users just gradually converge into a terminal-only workflow

Digging through old projects; I made a MIDI player, so naturally I had to put the Vargskelethor Skrillex MIDI through it. Much Obliged.

Dream game dev pipeline: - Export games to WASM (Browser) - Self-host web/cdn/payment - Game/demo accessible via QR code - Near-zero middleman fees & ToS woes This is where I want to be

AgX tone mapper added :)

Holy shit I've been pretty content in my own space and so I was so out of the loop that I didn't even know RDC was today LOL

I need to start looking at getting this project running in another runtime…

Modding tools are as easy as ever nowadays but I think if I were to release a new game nowadays I would never _NOT_ release it without a built in level editor or equivalent tool simply because of how fresh it allows a game to be 😁

Having so much fun writing my own libraries, great learning exercise for structure and systems that can encompass a given datatype. Today, it's been all about vectors. I previously learned about spherical coordinates, and now I'm looking to do all the other ones like polar, barycentric etc.

Rayman 2 & 3 were major influences on my game design, this deal is ridiculously cheap and it runs on literally any modern machine. Give this a go if you wanna look for inspiration or just wanna throw yourself into another world for a bit, promise you it’s worth it

Wow, decentralised git repos! The more I learn about the AT Protocol, the more I really gel with it tangled.sh

Demo #3 on my YT had borked bounce logic, fixed it here and it looks so much better lol The price one pays for making all their logic their own rather than depending on closed libraries

uhhh the animatronics do get a bit quirky at night.... Rando free model that I wanted to play about with, limitations are very obvious as workspace:Raycast() depends on the collision mesh rather than the visual mesh Don't intend on supporting roblox-specific stuff beyond this

Big reason that visual progress hasn't accelerated as much as I would like for my renderer, is that I've actually been using it as a springboard for defining a a project structure that allows it to remain as platform-agnostic as possible, while still being able to take advantage of platform features

Holy shit, this is it, let's put some support behind this github.com/librebox-dev...

Could really do with adding importance sampling and other stuff, but its cool to be able to do stuff like this

Thingsburg before & after (v0.2 -> v0.3)

Okay, looked into it more rationally - Ctrl+S shortcut can't be shared across multiple actions anymore. 'Save To Roblox' is for online/TC documents and by default assumes Ctrl+S. 'Save To File' is for local documents and loses its Ctrl+S assignment due to 'Save To Roblox'.

Realtime :)

Well... Now I have a path tracer

Further improvements! Not sure how I found the motivation to do more of this lol

Studio literally SIGSEGV'd after resuming a breakpoint Is this program actually fucking falling apart by the month?

I'm a believer of elegant solutions with pro-active rather than reactive consideration of emergent behaviors - Not every situation can be considered without exposing said thing to a chaotic real-world environment, but it helps reduce the scope of what needs to be fixed or maintained post-release

You can always count on Roblox to fuck something up Was looking forward to sign off after ensuring everything was working, only to learn that Roblox has blocked our UGC with no guidance/docs/notifications for how to resolve - Just ‘Cannot Be Sold’. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

V64.01 hotfix coming out shortly

Finally delivering on a feature that I wanted to put out in the game in a long while, thank you @shortroundzach.bsky.social & @coolzak35.bsky.social and all the contributors on helping w/ this update 🙂 The Flood Pass will give players something extra to sink their teeth into - hope you like it 👍

"Animator has to be placed under Humanoid or AnimationController!" Why did they think it was okay to expose what's actually Humanoid code in an abstracted Instance that literally can't exist elsewhere Now I need to make a stupid Humanoid/AnimationController holder directory and hope for the best

They added linux docs to develop branch, maybe all is not lost

Started learning today

Anyone got any pointers to provide ANY kind of runtime support for XDNA NPU's on AMD's AI 300 series? Obvs there's windows support but linux support is practically non-existent despite the device being listed and there being the module for it already being loaded.

Back to the future

Alright, I guess DMs just aren't a feature on this platform anymore

Within the past week I've gone from: "I don't like crypto - they get abused too much for personal gain" to "I don't like payment processors - they get abused too much for personal gain" Every _thing_ is a tool with pros and cons - Weigh up what you're comfortable with and take it from there

Really excited at the prospect of FE2’s players having something extra to engage with while playing - new features based on this has been the soul focus internally this year. The devs are super passionate on getting it right, and will be keeping an eye on reception post-launch.
