The other robot

I really want to boost this. Aidan Jr. is coming along so nicely! youtu.be/aeR8kn6OTqE?...

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

I don’t know when it became more embarrassing to say “this is gobbledygook” and turn out wrong than saying “omg this might be real” and turn out wrong. It’s like our only mode of thinking is FOMO.

And here's part 2! In this one, I focus on how to use a custom SkeletonModifier3D to procedurally map a mesh onto a Curve3D. youtu.be/Ls_B0_XiS7w #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Beware of alpha transparency! Two years ago I made this skybox for my game, not knowing much about GPU rendering. It's basically 16 transparent and backlit textures cycling through each other and UV drifting, and it takes more time to render than all remaining 3D objects together. #godot #gamedev

That’s me. I’m the beaver.

Ok, this is actually good. You don’t need to concede AI doomer talking points to have a salient argument for regulating AI.

That was a cool read. Might look up Superluminal.

Here's a video breaking down the shader I made for this effect. Topics include the tangent space, vertex color, UV maps, etc. I also explain my Blender-Godot workflow since creating an effect like this required me to iterate between the two. #godot #gamedev #indiedev youtu.be/lJs4P3QzMGs

New devlog! youtu.be/lZy152TD-DA Come for the hot take on test-driven development in video games, stay for the crazy progress I've made on my foundational tech and VFX in the past few months! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

I made a few songs earlier this year to get my creative juices flowing for an eventual soundtrack to my game. Come chill to the sound of Polarity while watching a timelapse of me setting up a ragdoll in Blender + Godot. #godot #blender #gamedev #indiedev #garageband youtu.be/6SO07R6iNSg

This has nothing to do with open source or knowledge sharing. This has everything to do with consent, greed, and exploitation. Idealized fantasies do not help when the survival of a medium and its creators is threatened by forceful extraction of labor and mass-replication.

Here's the plasma effect in the game! I wanted the Scouts to attempt to revive each other when downed. The mechanic is not ready for primetime, but you can already see the benefits of the procedural nature of the plasma VFX. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Taking this plasma filament effect to the next level. Turns out it was pretty limiting to have only two bones to control the mesh, so now I have a whole bone chain with a custom SkeletonModifer3D that maps the bones to a Curve3D. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

I got inspired by a plasma ball to create this fun little VFX. Took me a couple of days to get the shader right, but otherwise, it's a simple mesh with one bone at each end. #godot #Indiedev #gamedev

Here's my latest video! I do a deep dive into collision layers and mask in the context of figuring out collision issues I'm having in my latest enemy. #godot #gamedev youtu.be/WW8s9zzkj6E

Meet Clappy, the first NPC you encounter after the prologue dream sequence. He’s Aidan’s best friend and a great... pardon me, the GREATEST fisherman in the village! #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev

These spiders are silly.

New video! I was struggling with Godot’s Node3D’s look_at function, so I turned my debugging session into a mini-documentary. #godot #gamedev youtu.be/bGrtBq1mOMU

The masterclass in environmental storytelling bundle!

Second video in the behavior series is out! I had no idea there was enough to say about control interfaces to talk about them for about an hour! #gamedev #godot youtu.be/qvE_ck3FMQY

Today we waved at the moon and it made sense.

What do we value as a society? The wrong thing obviously.
