🇧🇷 Brasileiros que me seguem: Saiam de casa. VOTEM. Se você não acredita na política, então acredite em quem está alertando todo o risco ao qual estamos submetidos. Não existe simetria entre quem defende soberania e quem prometeu entregar o país para uma potência estrangeira.

Não existe simetria entre quem fez um governo meia boca e quem fez um governo no qual se tinha um escândalo por semana, nos transformou em párias internacionais, que tentou revogar direitos, destruir instituições e negou o básico para quem estava MORRENDO SEM AR.

Hello. I ask you to turn your eyes to Brazil this weekend (and the next few weeks). The dying empire is desperate to put their hands on our country and will use every available dirty trick to interfere in our elections, and their local vassals are already working hard on that.

Losing the country to the far-right might put us back into a status of colony. Even in the delirious scenario we could come back from this by voting, the damage and stolen wealth would be irreversible.

I am confident that I can make a whole game on RPG Maker and keep pushing its limits if I want to. However, in this year of learning I have acquired enough experience to feel like I could try another engine, a general one that is more receptive to my crazy ideas.

I've written plugins that enhance/replace almost every system of the core engine. While I am almost satisfied with how the battle system turned out, it still relies on VisuStella and Dragonbones plugins, which I can at most can override via reverse engineering of obfuscated code.

Mega Man X: Union (Alpha) - Momentum Transfer and Render Sorting Updated physics to the 3D system. Now, platforms can move with many different easing options, as well as carry and transfer momentum to the player in all directions. Jumping is now a movement accelerated by a gravity constant.

Sprites now have a unified sorting function that first groups elements by depth (the third axis), and then sorts them by their y coordinate. This prevents objects from appearing behind walls, and puts them in front of background elements when they are indeed in front of them.

I realized I can make prerendered backgrounds in Blender to replace tilesets as long as I create a correspondent vertex grid and see it from a 45° ortographic view. The y and z axes are squashed by a factor of cos(45°) = 1/√2, so I just need to render compensating that. #gamedev

Typically top-down views follow a "pseudo ortographic" perspective. In this case, the top face would be at 90°. It's impossible to set up such a camera in Blender. The 45° angle is special because both faces are treated equally and the compensation factor is straightforward.

Going with the "make it exist first, make it good later" philosophy for Mega Man X: Union's graphics and polishing. What I need to ensure is that the engine will allow me to make such refinements at a later point without breaking anything.
