I got native Steam Frame support coming to @resonite.com in the next build (probably tomorrow)! Also size comparison between Index & Frame controller nodes, because people were curious how long it'll be! #Resonite #socialVR #gamedev #indiegame

Yesterday marked my first full year on Resonite. Resonite is the first game I have over a thousand hours in on steam, I guess you could say I like it there. I've made so many new friends over the year. Thank you everyone for being awesome! #resonite

I'm of similar mind. Big part of art is that it's an expression of a skill. It's not just about the end product - what makes art impressive are the (dozens of) thousands of hours a person dedicated to honing their skill. You take that away and the end result is a lot more hollow.

One of the most disappointing things for me personally with the advent of AI is that it has damaged my ability to be impressed with software. Whether it be open-source projects, games, mods, sites, etc. I can admire the skill involved to develop something, but not if it's a machine doing it.

That said, I can see skilled creators using any technology in a meaningful way that involves a lot of deliberate decisions and care - but from what I've seen, most people don't and just use it as a shortcut. And that of course ignores all the other ethical concerns and impacts of the technology.

I've been playing with the Steam Frame a bunch since I got back and I quite like the headset so far. It feels like the "PC" of standalone VR to the walled gardens of other standalone headsets - you can just run apps on it! The LCD display is only thing preventing it from being my daily driver.

I finally got around to finishing this up last night before the deadline. I made this for a Halloween competition in Resonite. Happy Spooky Month!

Stuff has been extraordinarily rough lately. There's massive fires just piling on and on. When I think there's already too much, there's another fire. Can the world just chill for a second? I'm so tired.

I've released my new Moduprint module, Zone Comment Selections. It adds a button to zone comments to quickly create a selection around them. Get it here: resrec:///U-JackTheFoxOtter/R-FB905CEE3887D0BF168989787E30E08E0F2D677EA166A4895659EAE028AC83C5 #Resonite #GameDev

You can ask our marketing team anything live every Monday!

Did you know the Resonite marketing team goes live on Mondays, where they answer viewer QnA on Twitch? Here's a common question that was answered from a recent office hours.

I ran a side by side test to see how fast Black Mesa train ride loaded between mono and .net 9 without cached assets and the results are extremely impressive like the thumbnail speaks for itself www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Iq... #Resonite

My Windows install has gotten way too unstable. I probably need to do a clean one, but I kind of just want to switch to Linux. I keep playing with it with dual booting, but I keep running into more blockers. I can't find an equivalent replacement for the RAW image denoise Adobe Lightroom has.

I thought we'd see this kind of stuff once we have WASM support, but they made it with ProtoFlux already! This is quite impressive!

Shoutout to @phinx.gay & @moss.supply, they're essentially the reasons I've been able to see how great resonite actually is and have been helping me essentially every step of the way getting my stuff brought in. Can't wait to get this studio space set up & personalized โค๏ธ๐ŸŽˆ

Oh hey, it's the Knuckles Chaotix mechanic in #Resonite!

Resonite (and Neos) is an incredibly important part of my life that I've put so much into, even if I play less nowadays than I did during covid and early college years, it is something truly special to me and the first time I felt like I was apart of a larger community

Frooxius reposted

Because of all this bullshit I might actually record some of my creations and upload them here to get some more positive vibes or whatever because I know the community really needs it right now I care about this place so damn much and the people who have built it #Resonite

I've just reconstructed the photo op prop at @goblfc.org with all the drawings, shortly before it got torn down. I'm really happy with the level of detail I got from this, I love preserving everyone's art contributions this way. #BLFC #StealAllOfReality

More cool #Resonite things! We need those now more than ever.

JackTheFoxOtter@jackthefoxotter.bsky.social

I've been slowly returning to @resonite.com after taking a few weeks break, got side-tracked and ended up working on a new feature for #Moduprint together with @colin.cat, quick zone comment selection! This is a nice small project to get back into working on stuff. #Resonite #SocialVR #GameDev

I've been sacrificing a lot of my personal happiness and even my health to keep the place going through really tough situations. You'd think that would count for something, but instead people will still happily knock you down and then blame you for being on the ground.

I fucking hate the doomer mentality that people are having towards Resonite. "it won't last much longer". Yeah thanks for saying that to my digital home. Like come the fuck on. I'm not sure if I would be able to really make anything without it. #Resonite

I feel so at the end of the rope dealing with all this. When I started this project, I was full of excitement and passion for building cool things. All the drama and struggles over the years sucked all that out, to the point where I dread working on this. I don't know how to continue anymore.

Frooxius@frooxius.bsky.social

I'm so fucking tired of all this AI crap, but more so from people around it. I try to push my own opinions aside, listen to both sides, try to figure out a compromise. Just to be met with anger from both sides, over something that other companies made and willingness to hurt or kill the project.

The same thing happened with Resonite and the splittening. I busted my ass on it and got massive performance improvements after release. And then things just gradually got slower as people built heavier systems, bringing back "It's so badly optimized" comments.

This post is unavailable.

There a are still many optimizations than can be done, but with user generated content, you're still somewhat at mercy of how well the users optimize their systems. With stuff like variable rate update my hope is at least to better isolate laggy content from the main loop.

This, but it applies to nearly everything. If you wait for everything to be ideal or perfect, you'll never get anything done. And just because something isn't perfect, doesn't mean it's not good.

Some days I feel like everything that gives me something to look forward for and be happy just keeps slipping away, no matter how hard I try to hold on. And makes me worried that the dew things that remain will slip away too and I'll be left with nothing.

I took this panorama during one of the nights in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. It was beautiful, you could see the clouds rolling through the mountains. #tennessee #smokymountains

I've had extremely rough couple of days. It's felt like everyone is against me, even some people I normally looked for support and stability. Today has been in particular very bad. Then @glitchfur.net took me out for ice cream. He's best boyfriend I could've wished for ๐Ÿ’›

One of the most frazzling things to me is when people expect you to achieve goals that are near impossible, either explicitly or implicitly. It's like being setup for failure and then judged for failing - from the beginning I know it's impossible to avoid, yet I'll still try.
