Just learned about homomorphic cryptography a few days ago from a book I found in my dorm lounge. It's this super cool idea where you can still do calculations on encrypted data, so that everything remains private.

Here's a postmortem about our team's experience reaching finals at MIT Battlecode this year www.outercloud.dev/blogs/battle...

Pulled a server out of the trash at MIT and it works somehow :D

Working on a new website design. Hoping to use it as a portfolio and place to post some blogs in the future.

So I installed arch linux. Then played steam games on it. It took like 20 minutes and was super easy. 😭 What do you mean it was this easy all along.

Drawing some new items #pixelart

Recently tried out go for the first time. It's actually really nice. Sort of feels like TypeScript but slightly lower level.

the personal compute cluster 🙏

the debug indicators from our battlecode 2026 bot looks kind of like abstract art. it's kind of cool lol

Bsky is better than twitter🙏 it needs to be more popular

Some drawings I did recently #art

The for you feed really is good

Day 2 of learning to draw #art

MOAR drawing practice #art

I've been having fun practicing drawing. Here's my attempt at Frieren earlier today #art

I'm joining #artfight artfight.net/~OuterCloud I need to start drawing some characters!

Someone suggested I should add something to shoot at

Sometimes there doesn't have to be a meaning. Some of the best art is made just because it feels right.

Here's a look at the lobby where you'll wait for you friends to join #pixelart #godot

Death animation. Imagined it like an old cartoon where the circle closes around the character. #gamedev #godot

Am I up at 4am programming? Yes. But I had a burst of motivation.

10 minute #pixelart doodle. Practicing some bark

Chests are satisfying to open #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Hoi :D

Truly you must have never played Outer Wilds. It's magic can only be experienced once.

Each of the three different locations have now been ported over. #godot #gamedev

I'm just about finished porting the swamp to the new worldgen. #gamedev #godot

I'm starting to port over the swamp location to the new worldgen. #gamedev #godot One of the challenges I'm going to face is trying to figure out what types of rooms a swamp should have? I'm thinking spindly with tighter corridors might be fitting?

I'm working on a devlog / video for the recent worldgen changes I've made to the game. Right now my conundrum is trying to balance design explanations with lightness and (hopefully) comedy to make the video more entertaining and approachable.

Just finished this pixel perfect waving foliage shader today, I think it look reaaaaaaly cool! But I'm not sure if it is too subtle or intense? #gamedev #godot

So the new world generation now works in multiplayer! Really excited to see how play testers are going to respond to the more interesting world. #gamedev #godot The syncing is actually just sharing a single seed, and everyone generates the world from the shared seed.

Still chugging along and improving the visuals. I added some more decorations to the edge of rooms. Hopefully it adds some more interest to the visuals. #gamedev #godot

Just added edge decorations that occupy space. You can see the trees no longer horrendously overlap 😅, and I think it looks much nicer! #gamedev #godot

Just got trees to start generating around the edges of the level! The current tree placement is very hacky so you can see they often overlap, which I'll try and fix tomorrow. #gamedev #godot

Using the flood fill algorithm, I can now calculate edges around my rooms to (hopefully soon) add some edge decorations. #gamedev #godot

Today I implemented edge flow field generation into my room layout tool. Using this, I will be able to decorate the outsides of rooms, and place different decorations at different distances. So for example, trees have to be at least 3 tiles from the inside. #gamedev #godot

Procedurally generating decorations works now 🥳 Every single thing you see here was procedurally generated except the player (of course) and the locations of the walls, that's hand designed by me, however all of the visuals and decorations are generated on top of that. #godot #gamedev

I want to try out a #gamedevelopment philosophy: I've been tired of managing custom resources in #godot, it feels slow. I think I'd much rather prefer just creating all of the content in code. I've started doing this with my state machine that used to be node based, but is now completely in C#

I was feeling pretty bogged down by the messiness of my #Godot project, but I was worried if I deleted things, it would break. I've just gone through and started mass deleting and it is feeling so nice now! 😄
