Mother's Day includes Mother 2: Earthbound

I've come to terms with the fact that the target audience for the games I make are the type of people that enjoy the Great Crystal in FF12. It's a microscopic, but passionate crowd

The common sentiment about the visual quality of Crimson Desert has lost me. The micro level details tend to look wrong, and the scene compositions lack artistic direction. Everything is competing for attention so aggressively, and focusing locally is often very underwhelming

The person who invented touch sensitive, buttonless earbuds should apologize for what they've done

Why do ICE agents keep standing in front of cars are they dumb

Ended up staying up all night, but now I've got a fancy graph editor plugin working in godot, pretty neat.

I choose to believe the message of Clair Obscur is to never make an online game. Because someday you'll have to shut down the servers, and everyone is gonna be sad

I should have set up @nakatija.bsky.social's renderer awhile ago - took my scenes from odd lowpoly -> #n64 look and feel

I feel like I can attribute much of my lasting brain damage to this

My kit is almost fully platform-style ambidextrous now

Here's a comparison of my geometry reconstruction methods, and how they handle affine interpolation. N64 using frustum based clip and fan, and PSX using frustum-agnostic proximity subdivision.

I'm adding a new proximity subdivision option to my render kit. This can help reduce the nastiness of affine textures if you choose to use them.

In our next Tiny Glade update we'll bump the light limit from 32 to 32k while keeping the cost more or less the same. The small limit has been a cop out, as we didn't quite know how to render huge numbers of (screen-space) shadow-casting lights without severe performance degradation.

Turns out she was tired but now she's rigged and tired, with a filter. Using @nakatija.bsky.social's unity n64 rendering toolkit & #crocotile

I've been playing the Silent Hill 2 Remake, and I really appreciate the bold decision to use a dirty bathroom as the title screen

For anyone wondering why N64 games used texture filtering despite how blurry it made surfaces look, the alternative often produced a very sawtoothy effect due to low UV precision. It's worth noting that the PS1 would likely look the same if it managed to support perspective correction

New updates to the Nakati64 Rendering Toolkit. We now have temporal accumulation blurring control. There's also support for 240i and 480i in addition to 240p output.

A little side by side of using the Nakati64 Rendering Toolkit(NRTK) versus the default Unity pipeline/shaders - both at 240p. The most noticeable difference being the 3-point texture filtering. More subtly, you may notice the horizontal upscaling and dither-restore processing native to the n64.

My N64 rendering toolkit is finally available on the Unity asset store. With this, you can create hardware-accurate retro games on modern systems. assetstore.unity.com/packages/too...

Been helping my friend @nakatija.bsky.social demo her n64 inspired exploration game today at ggc! katinad.itch.io
