owenpomery.com @odpomery.bsky.social for the real deal! Now that I’m in the UK I should get some more prints and avoid the border tariff I usually have to pay

I was introduced to this Anti-AI slop site by @kamkonek.bsky.social where your answers come from humans LARPing as AI and you in turn also pretend to be AI. youraislopbores.me

I'm working on a game where you play as the Virtual Referee! #gamedev #indiegame

Some Sunday painting ☀️

using LLMs for certain types of coding tasks has made me crank output faster but I can actively feel my understanding and my sense of craftsmanship diminishing, and I don't like that feeling at all

The outlines are so good!!

Working on my CPU path tracer I always disliked that I couldn't see the output while rendering I now made a preview window to see the render converge! Now on to porting my actual path tracing logic

I'm down to my last £100, Ive signed on for work in warehouses/factories or whatever to keep the lights on but it takes a while to organise, if you'd like to support my artwork here is my Patreon, cheers! patreon.com/c/AlexDuneBr...

it’s important to keep caring about how things work and how they’re built

Found a cool web accessibility checker that uses only CSS to highlight issues with coloured boxes. Easy to add and useful when developing!

The most difficult part of the past few years has been observing colleagues, whom you assumed shared a similar set of morals, demonstrate with their actions that that is clearly not the case

Meanwhile the roads in my OpenStreetMap renderer are just rectangles pieced together! I wonder what the best next improvement is that I could make, these rectangles were the easiest thing I could think of but of course very ugly

The time has come… Presenting Skate Style, a next-Gen skating game built from the ground up. 🛹 Animation editor 🛹 Realistic graphics 🛹 Replay editor 🛹 Advanced character customization ⛔ No BS, just the good stuff. Try the demo now: store.steampowered.com/app/3862790/...

Trying to add GPU-based object picking this evening to my map data renderer. The idea is to render each building with their unique ID and then read the pixel value under the mouse to know which object it belonged to (in theory 😀)

Added some profiling to my map renderer so I can see what needs optimizing 👀⚡ A lot!

Finally, a place to rest. #gamedev #madewithunity

WIP so far on my #GlobalGameJam. It's a #VR experience where masked govt thug pigs have come to your neighborhood, harassing your neighbors. All you have is a smartphone w/ 2% battery left. Capture whatever you can to challenge the "official" narrative (lies). #gamedev #ggj #ggj26

Outlines!

Seeing people in software dev who, a minute ago were talking about ethics, accessibility and sustainability, disregard the unethical nature of the tech and switch to using LLMs tells you everything you need to know about why the software industry continuously enables horrible things

Added some missing benches to @openbenches.org on my morning walk. Such a nice project! Just take a picture and the website will do the rest.

Outlined rendering style I played around with a while ago, aiming for high fidelity where every line is intentional, no noise

[WIP] Some shader tests for water + your feet now make little noises when you walk in shallow water. I added some caustics following @ameye.dev's cool blog post on the subject :) ameye.dev/notes/realti... #godotengine #gamedev #wildcosmos

Skiing under the northern lights. Core memory unlocked. Nature is amazing.

Easiest way to get started with version control overall: GitHub Desktop. Version control and specifically git has horrendously bad usability, riddled with footguns. GitHub Desktop only lets you use the good parts, preventing 99% of mistakes. I’ve used it for 10 years. desktop.github.com/download/

I'm officially a curmudgeon. Here's a rant about the Shadcn component library and how over-complicated its radio buttons are: paulmakeswebsites.com/writing/shad... (Inspired by this week's work frustrations lol) #WebDev #CSS #HTML #JavaScript

Great sky shader, I wonder how performant it is, looks realtime

TIL: I have never eaten a raw peanut! I thought if they came in a shell those were raw from the tree but apparently those are usually roasted already when you buy them 🥜

Wow just tried Tauri to make a desktop app and it couldn't have been easier. The future is here 👍

New side project! A 3D renderer based on OpenStreetMap data. data gets streamed in tile-by-tile as I move around and together with some triangulation the buildings are generated Next: occlusion culling, correct building heights, roads, bodies of water Also runs in the browser through WASM

Norway and Sweden will be added soon ❄️ This map is basically just a radius around where I live 😄

I've been using PocketBase as a backend to make a little travel planning app recently and it's so insanely good, much nicer/easier/lightweight to use than Supabase which I used in the past. Almost feels magical

Officially announcing my new game: GARBAGE COUNTRY. A lonely road trip through the ruins of a forgotten world. feat. vast wastelands, tower-defense battles, upgrades, mysteries, & lots of driving.

Hello atmosphere ! Over the last few weeks, a bunch of us have been collaborating on a new set of lexicons for publishing, indexing, and building out social features across long-form reading and writing apps ! 🧵1/7

We yearn for the lines!

I'm looking for a browser game I saw linked on here a while ago that was a cute daily game where you had to guess if a word was real or not. For example: out if these 8 bird names, which are real bird names? Anybody know what website this was? Thanks!!

SRP Batcher + Material Property Blocks? Yes please!! discussions.unity.com/t/renderer-s...

Playing around with the idea of 'edge detection LODS' by adding more line detail the closer you are.

Experimenting with some things 👀 #Godot

My outlining toolkit Linework just got nominated for the Unity Awards 2025! 🥳 Thank you to everyone that used it! Very thankful awards.unity.com/vote/categor...

going to great lengths to make my outline shader as hand-drawn as possible

Testing my realtime outline shader on a quick 3D recreation of the original art by @mellific.bsky.social Lots of details of the original scene are missing, but happy to see this come together so quickly! Will refine later :)
