Just did my first ever production release whilst sitting on a beach!

So the whole reason I built boxinsertdesigner.com was because I needed to create designs for these inserts and then programmer me fell down a rabbit hole of thinking there must be an easier way to do this.... behold my #foamcore inserts for the #teamyankee #flamesofwar #worldwarIII starter set

Have been working on my #photobashing and layout skills in #affinity This one looks half decent...

Updated boxinsertdesigner.com with better tablet and mobile support. If you are into #foamcore inserts for your #boardgames then this free tool might be for you 😜

If you wanna give yourself a wee Xmas present you can't go wrong with this www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2... only $3 for one of the best all round #ttrpg #savageworlds

I made a thing: boxinsertdesigner.com It lets you design #foamcore box inserts for your #boardgames and spits out a cutting list. I'm looking for feedback, bugs, feature ideas etc #foamcore #boardgame #storage

This #photobash of made out of bits of pics of warships and fighter planes also came out pretty nice... lots of happy accidents in this one. #Affinity #dontknowwhatImdoing

Have been learning to #photobash in #Affinity... this one kinda came out alright

Painted up the US tanks for my starter box of #TeamYankee #WWIII ,that I bought years ago, in a close approximation of mid 1980's NATO cammo. Models were assembled by my youngest so a bit dodgy 😂

Was surprised to find #godot didn't have an AreaMarker2D... ended up going down a giant rabbit hole and created this github.com/rabidgremlin... Lets you do has_point() and get_random_point() calls on the AreaMarker2D. Useful for game AI and interaction stuff.

Definitely not my best work but I'm gonna call these done for the moment.... only have a bazillion more to paint! #greentide #warhammer40k

Vintage comic effects test.... looks weird when scaled due to the faux screening....

Randomly learning to digitally colour B&W ink sketches... this is a practice piece on a low res scan of some old Rogue Trader era #warhammer40k art

Some painted up #onepagerules Saurian Gators... love these models, super easy to paint up, just the right amount of detail. Also used a super easy technique which, makes it look like I'm a way better painter than I am....

Oops realized I haven't posted anything for ages 😱 So here are some #openpagerules Saurian objective markers with tiny fruit and vegetables! #minipainting

Ever wonder what one of the new "reasoning" model's solution to humanity's problems would be ? And then what would happen if you told it that you don't think humans would willingly execute its plan... well I did... it's a very interesting read...

Busted out my resin printer and I'm printing up a ton of #onepagerules minis... A couple more runs and my starter Duchies army will be done

Test color scheme for speed painting #onepagerules Duchies of Vinci Automata. Should be able to get it down to 10min a figure I think. Gotta love #thearmypainter metallic speedpaints!

If you are working with trim sheets then you should definitely check out the fantastic GrabDoc add-on for #Blender razed.gumroad.com/l/grabdoc #gamedev

Giving Hob-e-Tac a go... Hopefully easier than other methods of sticking on clump foliage in the past 🤞 #terrian #wargaming

Finished up some 3D printed ruined fantasy #terrain for #frostgrave and #openpagerules and #warhammer

Got those Tyger Claws gonks painted up for a game tomorrow. Just to a basic, table top standard, might come back and do highlights and details later.... also got myself a tiny turntable #cyberpunkred #combatzone #minipainting

Purple underpainting on some Tyger Claws gonks I got for Xmas #cyberpunkcombatred #minipainting

Painting up some old scout bikers. These were some ebay rescues so not the best assembly job...but fun to paint #warhammer #ultramarine #wip

Oooo, shiny, Bluesky now lets you keep your .bsky.social username when you switch to using your own domain! Just what I as waiting for... boom! Switched to my own domain and now look all official like!

Got a little distracted setting up a Github action to automate the build of my prototype... used this excellent action github.com/marketplace/... for #godot So now have automated windows & web builds & deployment to a test website. Also slapped together a main menu ! #gamedev #unclejoeslaptop

Also gave the GUT #godot unit test framework a test... it worked very nicely... made it really easy to put together and test my fake file system #gamedev

Current state of prototype... split out each command as a "app" so easy to add new ones, each with their own help. Added a file system with content and support for hidden files... slapped on a CRT shader and a lovely amber phosphor #godot #gamedev #unclejoeslaptop

Did some work on my fake OS/Uncle Joe's laptop game and I think it has legs... but just realized that Uncle Joe = Joe Biden in the US.... perhaps I should steer away from that name ??? #gamedev #godot #namingthingsishard

Built a prototype terminal/fake OS in #godot Tinkering with the idea of creating a game where you find the laptop of your deceased Uncle Joe and unravel the mystery of his life by exploring it's contents...

Middling success with trying to use matt medium to do ink transfers from inkjet printed graffiti #wargaming #terrain

Started paint job on my first gen 3D bits + foamcore test piece just for fun

Experimenting with creating a 3D printable clip/bits system for building #wargaming terrain out of 5mm foamcore... these are the second generation of designs and are working much better... may be onto something here 🤷

Test of using #TRELLIS to take an (AI generated) image and turn it into a 3D head model for 3D printing for custom heads for #warhammer models

A quick test of using a local LLM (#ollama & #llama3.2) to create AIs in #godot that you can chat with... each NPC can a have a backstory and some "knowledge"... here is a chat with Bob the Hook a washed up pirate..

Wasn't sure what I was going to post here... but I've decide its going to be quick snap shots of things I made....

Huh, I can "verify" my account using my domain... should I do it or is it pretentious? Seems kinda off to not be rocking a bsky.social handle !

First post!
