Got a showcase of dynamic physics working for spheres and testing the fun with a ball pit style mayham! Also got a preview of the tiny but vital platformer feature of respawn checkpoints that's pretty smooth. #screenshotsaturday #3dplatformer #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #WebXR #AFrame #threejs

I've been at the grind working on quite a few complex vital systems that aren't quite ready yet, but heres a basic test preview of one of them, the trigger/interact system that shows off some new weapon styles. #screenshotsaturday #3dplatformer #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #WebXR #AFrame #threejs

I've been hitting my head against the wall for hours trying to figure out this incomprehensible error regarding displaying text with three-mesh-ui in aframe and the issue ended up being caused when the font file shares a folder with another font... wow 🤢. That's a lesson I wont ever forget!

Made quite a bit of progress this week immersing myself not just in the design and code of my game's systems, but in VR too! Not as stomach turning with all the 3rd POV jumping and dashing around as I thought #screenshotsaturday #3dplatformer #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #WebXR #AFrame #threejs #VR

Been squashing some annoying bugs, but was able to add a few cool things like avatar blinking and dynamic platforms working with my other systems like shadow trail. No ledge grab just yet, but otherwise working well so far. #3dplatformer #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #WebXR #AFrame #threejs

Made some good progress today on better ledge grab snapping and getting the slide dash action to work well. #screenshotsaturday #3dplatformer #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #WebXR #AFrame #threejs

Feels like I've been working on the bricks for eons, but finally starting to build a house with it. Still pretty rough, but heres a short little preview of the basic movement in my 3D action platformer for webxr (aframe / three.js). Hoping to have a polished demo out within a month or 2.

Recently had the opportunity to build 3 demos to demonstrate the power of game feel!

This is what working on a few different gamedev projects simultaneously feels like and I do not recommend it. I just want to see my favorite prototypes come to fruition, but man I should really focus on one at a time.

More in-progress previews for proc-gen stuff. The goal is to build the rigs for various forms and animating them in blender, but using three.js to build / carve out the unique armor and faces for each monster or humanoid as well as texture / color them. Here's some basic humanoid examples animated.

I would prefer to share my work when it's all polished in it's final form, but realizing the progression of how it evolves is interesting in of itself. Gotta get more in-progress previews out there, so here's a section of my brainstorming doodle wall I play with for my proc-gen rig and face ideas.

It's a bit funny that many AAA games I play are encouraging because I think 'huh, that's the best they can do with a huge team and $$$ backing?', but other indies are intimidating with their tiny teams and shoe string budgets as I awe 'holy cow, they did all this with just their grit and passion!?'

Meta Quest added the final piece for PWA - "Add this page to your library"🎉 Now you can add ANY web app and page for quick access from your library🤓 (It's now released for all)

This incredibly thin haptic patch lets you feel interactions in VR and AR, imagine wearing a full suit or gloves made of these. Source: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I think AI/LLMs are interesting and fun tools (sans the dgaf about copyright bs), but the overwhelming confidence many companies have with it right now is mindboggling. It's like they saw a magician pull a rabbit from a hat and thought 'Wow, lets hire them to stock our farm' 🫠

Wow, not going to be using Firefox anymore since Mozilla just went off the deep end with some wild new terms of service that reads like they own everything single thing you do in the Browser. I'm more disappointed then angry news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4318... news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4319...

Oh, it's #portfolioday on bsky! Hey all, I am 🍀 Minty Crisp 🍉, a WebXR developer who loves working with A-Frame/Three.js and building my own engine/framework. Currently working on a yet to be announced monster tamer game. You can check out a bunch of my previous XR projects @ mintycrisp.com

Happy #caturday bsky. This little hell raiser is Cowboy, he's a riot. Came across him on a walk in the woods, he was crying and hurt, but he wouldn't let me help. Thankfully he followed me home all sneakily like, so took him in and helped him recover. He's doing much better now and is lots of fun 🐾

It's been a hot minute since I've kept up with bsky here, but had an interesting read through their developer call (github.com/bluesky-soci...). Lots of interesting ideas for their system, like a wish list roadmap. Interesting to ponder uses for this social's api within a webxr A-Frame experience🤔

The Sun at Night. Not rendered with classic photon light which each particle can take thousands of years to escape the core towards us and instead is detecting the neutrinos that are firing off nearly seconds ago as they pass through the Earth and all matter unstoppable, yet detectable. Hell yea!🤘

🍀🍉 There is something about 80's song remixes and covers that resonate so much for me, I'm low key obsessed. I have a dozen different versions of Rod Stewart's awesome song 'Forever Young'. Here's a few best ones... EDM -> youtu.be/L3Nc5VTmm3M EDM -> youtu.be/dJ3dXv0aGOk Punk -> youtu.be/3yAKY5qhBh8

🍀🍉 Spent the week grinding away at the dev todo board working on my #aframe #webxr system. It feels good to clear so many tedious tasks, but time sure did fly by. A good audiobook 'Awaken Online : Armageddon' and plenty of funky techno jams sure helped too🤓

Fun Fact: My colormap doesn't contain black. Not sure where it's from, maybe NaN gives black. #newtonfractal #codeart

🍀🍉Went all in yesterday on one of my more difficult priority #gameDev tasks, rebuilding how the interaction style is stored, loaded, swapped, etc. Basically profiles and a state machine, so now it's more stable, easier to add and swap. Here's a brief vid preview showing swapping youtu.be/dV0JfZTyr1E

🍀🍉Spent all day digging through #aframe system and components trying to understand how I can workaround every instance of the cursor component firing on any click. Not great for all VR or other multi cursor scenes. Got a decent solution to test only to find my renderer glitching out. Oh boy #gameDev

🍀🍉 Task 2 : Change how the player can close the Current Controls Window. Best to add a close button instead of clicking on the window as it doesn't work well in Camera Drag mode. Just convert the single entity core in a multi entity layer, add a button and move the close component to it. #gameDev

🍀🍉 Task 1 : Adding the local time/date info accurate to the minute to the companion ui. Should be straight forward as I already have time keeping added. Just update the text on ui spawning, but will need to add a minute listener to keep that updated if it stays open long enough. #gameDev

🍀🍉Made myself a priority task list to focus on, 16 items in total for my #aframe #webxr system. Some are small, some huge, but mostly in-between difficulties. All different stuff like working on ui, save system, menus, updates & unintended features aka bugs! Time to get this gameDev party started :)

🍀🍉Making your own action figure always sounded like a fun #Aframe #WebXR idea, so I decided to give it a try. No interactivity quite yet, but here's the game edition of my Minty Crisp toy lineup ;). Includes vital gameDev accessories such as a VR Headset & Pizza! mintycrisp.com/toy/toy.html

🍉 Evolving from my gamedev test environment, my #aframe #webxr game's home area is really starting to come together. Going for a dynamic, yet minimal serene style to accompany the chaotic😈 game play. Here's a static preview of it for #screenshotsaturday. #caosxr

🍉 Got tired of staring at my boring gamedev testing environment and started putting together a new home scene to better soothe my developer woes while grinding away at my #aframe #webxr game. Not done with it yet, but for #screenshotsaturday I thought I could share a preview of my lil ambience.

🍉 It's been a year and a half since I started development of my own #aframe based #webxr game engine. It's cool to think about how far it has come in that time. Currently focusing on building support features for a few different styled projects I am working on. Web VR Playground, XR Pet and XR Novel

🍉 I only recently got Justice's newest album, Hyperdrama, a few days ago, but I've been listening🎧to it on loop ever since. Their classic sounds clashed with a fresh new style, it's so good! I especially love the Neverender, Afterimage & Saturnine tracks, but the entire album is excellent.

🍉 I've been working on polishing my #aframe #webxr system and focusing on new vr focused interaction powers for an upcoming project. I'm hoping to share a lot more soon, but for #screenshotsaturday I figured I'd share a preview of my dev area and assistant that helps me tinker. #indiedev
