ngl I kinda burnt out on this one #art #pokemon #lucario

I'm starting to realise I'm comically bad at taking breaks from projects when I get even just a little invested in them. Like I've said I'd take a break from working on Udon Tennis three times now, and all three times I came back like a day later and released large updates to it

finally made a seasonally appropriate outfit actually in time for the season its for #vrchat #furry

holy shit I think I fixed the physics desync I was having in Udon Tennis, and it was such a simple fix too. Literally I just had to delay the sync by one fixed update, since I think it was syncing the wrong velocity / angular velocity values or something

So turns out that there's a whole ton of small but serious networking bugs in Udon Tennis, all to do with certain elements of the court. All of these bugs are stupid little mistakes, which is why you should never make sweeping changes and major updates at 4am.

I should probably setup some way to report bugs with Udon Tennis, because its possible that this partially game breaking menu bug was introduced like two weeks ago. That, and I should probably figure out a better way of testing new versions *before* release

Realised that if I use two vrc accounts, I can actually record gameplay footage of Udon Tennis without horrendous performance + actually get to see what its like to play over the network. Even in ideal conditions, there's more desync than is really acceptable, so idk how I'm gonna fix that

finally having to renew my domain again, and each and every year I kinda regret going with ".art". It looks good, but its like 5 times the price of other options I had considered back when picking a tld

falinks not in pokemon champions L game

I finally deleted the extra users from my switch that I used during my shiny hunt in PLA, and thank god I checked what was in the boxes before doing so. For whatever reason, I had moved all of my legendaries from my playthrough to my second account, so I very nearly lost them all there

well I finally got the new networking done for Udon Tennis, and its definitely an improvment. But I definitely think that sooner or later I need to stop working on this version of the world, and instead try to figure out the custom physics engine, because Unity's physics is not fit for this at all

Finally working on the 3rd networking overhaul for Udon Tennis, and turns out my hypothetical solution for the desync bug was simple to implement and mostly works already. Hopefully it won't be long til I get this released, alongside a bunch of other under the hood networking improvements.

it seems I'm back to being a bee thing again, what a relief

I occassionally check in on my vrc worlds to see how they're doing, and I was pleasantly surprised by the influx of players to the tennis world. But who cares about that, I'm more happy to see that my "big maze" has claimed more victims lmao

realised I never actually shared the working version of this menu redesign, its actually been in the world for almost two days now #vrchat #udon

woke up today feeling a lil funny

ngl I kinda burnt out on this one #art #pokemon #lucario

this bug with vrc's build and test failing with multiple clients is genuinely such a pain in the ass. Somedays it works just fine, other days, quite literally nothing I do lets me test with multiple clients, meaning that testing anything networked is just off the table for the day

wip

what if instead of fixing bugs I redesigned the main menu for Udon Tennis a third time (Left : Redesign / Right : Current)

I really thought I had fixed the permanent ball desync bugs in Udon Tennis, but I just managed to trigger it again for the first time in around a week. I really ought to do another redesign of the ball's networking since I have some ideas to try. Just gotta find time to work on it thats not 2/3am

Gave it a second go and its definitely an improvement (although it does look a little odd when not head on)

I'm not exactly great at this mii making thing, but I can see the potential

told myself I had to draw a lucario before doing anything else today, so here's a café lucario

Something I've been working on in the background whilst doing smaller updates to Udon Tennis is a fully parameterised flight path system for the tennis ball, and I can't believe its actually sort of working. This could reduce the desync in physics between clients to almost zero. #vrchat #udonsharp

welp since build & test is broken in VRC and so I can't push out the update, here's what the new menu system looks like in action. Used what I learnt making RiMenu to make this menu, so it really didn't take too long, and just like RiMenu, there are zero animators being used. #vrchat #udonsharp

The new menu system for Udon Tennis is done and working. I *would* push out the update now, but build & test is broken in VRC right now for multiple clients, and since there's a tiny networking change I need to test first, I can't get the update out. hooray.

Karari creates yet another menu system for VRChat... (wip of a new menu system which will hopefully replace the local settings canvas currently in Udon Tennis)

I've been working on a rewrite for the ball physics in Udon Tennis, but I'm just now starting to release how near impossible this is with Unity's physics. Its not even close to being time step invariant, and since VRChat ties the fixed time step to the headset refresh rate, there'll always be desync

told myself I had to draw a lucario before doing anything else today, so here's a café lucario

I really can't put this project down, can I? I managed to get shot prediction working, which is a bit harder than planned since I had to account for drag, angular drag, and the magnus effect. There's some amount of error, but its probably good enough even at a high simulated timestep (0.05)

vrchat's open beta looking pretty neat rn

I just woke up, what do you mean there's *50* people playing my Tennis world currently????

My VRChat world "Udon Tennis" just got (unexpectedly) published today! Now that its maybe actually wrapped up this time, I'll hopefully start drawing and posting art again soon. In the mean time though, feel free to check the world out: vrchat.com/home/world/w... #vrchat #udon

I was wondering why my Tennis world was getting so many visits today, turns out its already gotten published??? I gotta hurry up with this update I'm working on since its huge and it was supposed to be out before publishing

Decided to try making a shot replay system for my VRChat tennis world as a little experiment today. I'd like to add this to the world at some point, but its definitely got a lot more work before its release ready #vrchat #udon

Saw a few people giving this a try and I wonder if doing digital art helped at all with this

So today I learned that VRChat actually does give you a way to set the shadow distance in your worlds, and god does lowering it help with quality massively. Same shadow resolution, at the default (150m) and reduced (50m) distances

I've been meaning to post some footage of a rally of some kind in my tennis world, but recording whilst playing is very hard due to frame drops (also this angle does not do the speed of the ball justice, its so much faster at court level)

I hope everyone else gets luckier with the 10 packs they get today in tcg pocket. The best card I got from all of those packs was a *single* 3♢ card. Not even one of those 50 cards I pulled were even new, and I'm still missing a couple of 1♢ cards and half of the 3♢ ones from the current set

Been a few days since I last explored some worlds #vrchat #furry

welp I lied about being done with this world for now, since I just fixed some bugs and added Quest support. It looks way worse on quest, but it is playable from some quick tests

Now that I'm done with that tennis world for now, I can finally work on something else. Just gotta think of something that isn't so physically involved

So turns out its much easier to release worlds when you strip out the stuff that was giving you a headache. Hopefully the networking actually works in the real world! #vrchat #udon vrchat.com/home/world/w...

I've played a lot of Mario Kart, but I think today is the first time it has legitimately traumatised me. In an 8 race GP, I lost *4* races to being blue shelled *on the line*

how did I forget that VRChat has a multi-layer photo mode? That would've made a few of my past edits *a lot* easier...

these photos are honestly a great way to fill the downtime when I'm not drawing #vrchat #furry

I feel like I'd *really* like Pokopia, but idk if I can bring myself to spend the money on it, especially since it's a game key card

I think this is the longest I've spent editing a photo, and its not even particularly noticable #vrchat #furry

Welp it took me until March, but I finally removed the christmas stuff from my website. Oh and I finally added my VRChat photos to the site
