still working on the ms paint for vectors clone lol History management / saving snapshots is an absolute pain in the ass #flutter #dev

eyy starting to work on a timeline wee #flutter #dev

doing paint by numbers to figure out the logic of when to flip the beziers / how they get influenced by prev next points wee reinventing the wheel #flutter #dev

learning flutter by making my own illustrator but free 💀 (If i get anywhere with this ill make the builds free :D) History saving is a bigger pain than i thought

well work just had a big restructuring so I'm looking for gigs. If anyone needs a #TechnicalArtist / Tools / UI Dev , on a long term contact / FT basis, let me know! I do #Unity, #WebGL, #Unreal, #Roblox even :P Ok end of plug! Here's some more recent random tools i made #jobseeking #gamedev

welp this year i made a side game in #roblox, #godot and looks like you can do game dev in #flutter too xD Kinda

Got ramp jumps sorted (alignment with surface was fighting with inertia when flying north) , still buggy as hell but kinda fun lol #godot #gamedev

My experience with Godot ramp collisions atm

do you #godot folks have tips on collision shapes for curved surfaces? Options seem to be limited and it feels bumpy :<

still rough, but thinking path follow nodes might be clean user controllable way to do designable rail system .. maybe.. as long as i can figure out how to maintain the linear velocity post grind with the new direction taking into affect

Phantom Cam from @marcusskov.com is great, saved me a week of messing with camera :P Using a trick he mentioned on the forum for angles (github.com/ramokz/phant...) #experiments #godot #skate

messing around with Godot on my time off thats my beautiful art on the ground plane xD

well finally got multiple levels setup Learned that Roblox doesnt let you dynamically swap parts of levels like sub scenes, and doing .Parent = x is performance hit But if you do Stage2.CFrame = BlankPartAtRightPosition.CFrame , Cframe swapping is cheap on server

idk how actual roblox devs debug servers but managed to do some success by putting text boxes for whenever the AI changes brain states. #gamedev #roblox #mobile

Got some dumb bots kinda working, npc brains are harder than i thought and roblox's pathfinding algo is.. interesting wee #lua #gamedev #roblox

back on the lua / roblox project , got player joining and leaving covered / server updates for drop offs and starting to add background art from @flowermelodies.bsky.social 🙂

might be more useful with sliders instead of presets? Thinking of killing presets for sliders #houdini #tooldev #python #ui #engineering

if you went to college 1. what was your career goal when you started? 2. your initial major? 3. if you changed majors, what did you change to? 4. what do you do now, professionally? 1. Animation 2. Design 3. Animation 4. Engineering (UI / Art / front end) Has been a good 20 years since I started:p

well i got some graphs working #houdini #python #tools

well the curve works, tho realised that ill have to put an invisible stage on top or something since it cant draw past the graphics view (so curves that extend beyond will get clipped) Will open source it when done tho so PRs welcome

Prototyping a new tool for Houdini , thinking maybe my old last one was overkill. But maybe one to let you just tween some property with an ease would be helpful . Would it be ? Or would it be more useful if it integrated with something else ? Let me know before I start 😂! #houdini #tooldev

great little article find on smoother camera movement www.rorydriscoll.com/2016/03/07/f... TLDR a:lerp(b, 1 - math.exp(-lambda * dt)) makes a nice little velocity based lerp Combined here with a checker that does averaging of all characters in the scene's centroid + boundry box size

spending my free time practising server to client coding in roblox :P

in our little electron app at work i redid how DoTween pro works but in a TS web enviroment (so had to make my own redux state/ guid updates wee) Instead of making hour long docs i just did shorts like this to convince people to try it :P

What is the line for you between tech art - engineering ? Scripts vs classes ? Implementation of assets versus of features ? I’ll clarify in a reply…

initially just hand wrote the game in Lua ,and still thinking of going back there since the whole file was 5mb :P

some old visuals of a city builder game im trying to make before i got too swamped with work stuff

Hey all I'm a dev/tech artist in gamesland. Moving over here from x land. idk where to start... Here's a plugin i made (free) for houdini to let you use houdini like premiere and do easy animations :) PR's encouraged! github.com/Tackyflea/el... #gamedev #games #houdini #techart #dev #animation
