TWENTYSIXTEEN is now on some streaming services like Spotify! >> open.spotify.com/album/2PMozd... <<

> TWENTYSIXTEEN _ What a crazy decade... I've gone and remastered (along with tempo adjustments and tweaks) 9 of my favourite songs from 2016, along with a new one to finish it off! It's free! Enjoy! endesga.bandcamp.com/album/twenty...

In my C code I've gotten a little obsessed with "automated" bitfields, after discovering that you can use the auto-count trick in an enum to determine how many bits are needed to hold the values. Is there a better way to do this? I'm curious if anyone else has explored this...

the air smells sweet #pixelart

thought I'd post this mid-June because I don't know exactly when, but I started my game development journey 20 years ago! I was 9, my Dad showed me GameMaker 6, and I was hooked. I wonder what younger me would think of where I am today... never give up! never stop learning!

5-minute Diamond timelapse. I forget how much longer it takes to do complex light-transport with things like gems haha This came out pretty okay given how fast I did it - bit rough though #pixelart

2-minute 32x32 Diamond Pickaxe Timelapse. still got it 😎 #pixelart

Episode 5.5 is out of my little Minecraft series! I just wanted to get some Tuff and make decent progress on the house before the busyness of work kicks in this coming week! youtu.be/EmOJxpyzx70

Measured, 3D printed, then sanded a custom wrist-rest out of Nylon Carbon-fiber 😎 Weighs barely anything, and feels as hard and as strong as metal.

Episode 5 of my little Minecraft survival series is out, I chat about 3D printing Carbon Fiber, while prepping for a base youtu.be/dU074tfvxaA

Here's what it looks like assembled + some holes for weight reduction. I used the thumb-wheel as the main wheel since it's a lot lighter, and still works since it has a little magnet in it. With the wheel it's 36.4 grams!

I hyper-optimized the ergonomic geometry of an MX Master mouse, and it went from 143 grams just 34 grams

software rendering is so fun, you often don't need sprites - you can just have a function that renders the pixels exactly how you want, pixel by pixel

I wonder if there's any benefits not having tabs for multiple images you're editing, and they all just exist in one big space... This would be quite useful for referencing or dealing with multiple textures 🤔 hmmm

Episode 4 is out! I talk about the frustrations of modern OS-applications, while trying to find a Fortress in the Nether: youtu.be/9Up5l0IE5NU

wouldn't it be cool to have a hyper-minimal pixel art program that's able to use the most efficient OS methods to render directly to the window to reduce the overhead as much as possible, prioritising memory and speed, while also being <30KB for the entire executable?

Episode 3 is live! I talk about food, I try to find lava for obsidian, and get distracted a few times. Enjoy~ youtu.be/n4kJm4UKAt8

Episode 2 is live! This one has more talking about some serious topics, and lots of resource gathering. But I enjoyed blabbering about what was on my chest; I mention NYKRA quite a lot near the end. Enjoy~ youtu.be/W8NjPW9Pgq4

started a little casual series where I play a Minecraft survival map of New Zealand, and it's just 1 hour of unedited ramblings. if you like that sort of content, have a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M60...

> you are loved, you are safe _ had some time with my synths and samplers, decided to capture a particular deep feeling that has been hard to express with words these 2 singles will be on all streaming services soon~ or get it now for free on my bandcamp: endesga.bandcamp.com/album/you-ar...

it's interesting how often ideas come to me when I'm sitting in silence at a park/garden/forest. I realised a very efficient and minimal way to do tile-based shadow-casting (in C) that's completely software rendered - not using the GPU at all. this draws in <1ms

I find it fascinating that even when I try to contribute something to society, even when I make it public domain, people still find something to complain about. This is why I miss doing pixel art, because the worst complaint is "that doesn't look good to me" hahaha Which is easy to shrug off

Just pushed version 0.2: - If the image has more than 256 colors it just uses the first color. - PEP now supports RGBA/BGRA/ABGR/ARGB, and dynamically reformats depending on your input. - You can now choose to make the first color transparent when using pep_decompress(). <3

I am proud to announce... PEP: Prediction-Encoded Pixels This format is able to compress images (up to 256 colors) smaller than GIF, PNG, QOI, BMP, in almost all cases. A lot of passion and research (and fixation) has gone into this: >> github.com/ENDESGA/PEP <<

bluesky finally supports gifs?!

Nightdive just announced System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster! been working hard on it, and I can't wait for people to enter the Von Braun again!

I've gotten to the point where I'm convinced that anyone who justifies using humanoid robots has premeditated ways to justify human slavery. There is no reason whatsoever that a robot has to be humanoid, it's completely redundant, and only facilitates those who wish humans were more controllable.

I'm sick of 2024, I wish it was the next year alread- oh hey

your ability to learn dramatically improves when you seek how not to do something: every failure and mistake leads to more correctness. drawing a circle requires not drawing a not-circle. try to enjoy knowing how to do something via knowing how not to do it~ onwards to 2025

mmmm gradient

a reminder that it is possible to sit in a random river

ground skewers

bluesky... please... I need gifs before I can justify being here more...

people deeply underestimate the power of fearmongering and propaganda.
