My main project right now is a raycaster prototype. I'm still building out some ideas for it, but the movement and collision feel really fluid so far. The art reads from .aseprite files, and supports palette swapping. It's challenging, but really satisfying to see a lot of color combinations easily.

It's that time of year! 🍂🍎 Enjoy some autumn vibes in this very small Over the Garden Wall game I made, with the help of @patrickmchale.bsky.social, @forkfrenzy.bsky.social, @blastingcompany.bsky.social, Elijah Wood, & more! It's FREE to play, and plays in-browser! juliaminamata.itch.io/otgw

Gonna add a 2nd light soon I swear...

Also I think it would be cool to build an RPG shop system around bartering - where items are valued differently depending on the shopkeeper.

"Oh, you have 70 gold bars? That means nothing to me. Come back when you have some twine."

I mean what if we collectively devalued money, so the capitalists can no longer take from us.

People using AI to reverse engineer games to then turn around and publish clones is straight up theft. Why is anyone pretending otherwise? The only thing genAI is good at making is fucking talentless thieves. Prosecute the lot of them. Sue them to hell.

I've got this grid thing going on now...

Found an OpenGL video from 14 years ago where the person is using Visual C++ 2005, recorded at 640x480 from a Windows XP machine. Gonna watch this whole thing just to feel something.

Things are displacing... (albeit poorly)

Had a sleep, now it works, although I need a better displacement example I suppose.

Have a look at this, captain!

Thinking about writing a C++ String class again.... if only to be able to write "if (str) { ... }" instead of "if (!str.empty()) { ... }"

Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2026 metaphor:

Images of the short-lived ABC TGIF show "Aliens in the Family" has been buried deep in my brain cavities for 30 years. Apparently it only had 8 episodes. Now you too know it exists.

Please enjoy this scene from "Aliens in the Family", a real 90's TV show.

One more Aliens in the Family post - I like how they were trying to make "walking into the garage to something weird & unexpected" a running gag.

A year ago or so I started adding a software renderer to my engine because well... I was curious, and I wanted to go through that awesome tinyrenderer guide. There's no good reason to work on this, but I did it anyway, and now it's more or less reached parity with my GL renderer (but god is it slow)

Last night, I got the projection matrix (and 3D) "working" in my software renderer... but.... at what... cost?

I wanted to see how many Photoshop blend modes were possible using glBlendFunc + glBlendEquation (as well as SDL_ComposeCustomBlendMode), and as far as I can tell, the answer is 12 (-ish - would require a blog post). Also used the duck from the W3C CSS draft for funsies.

Just noticed a couple were wrong in that video - ColorBurn should be DstColor, SrcColor and Overlay should be DstColor, DstColor

Was surprised that game engines basically give you 4-5 presets, and tell you to use a custom function if you want something more complicated, but having looked at a lot of the permutations, I get it now. Most are junk or probably only useful in certain alpha blending situations.

Also, because I tend to get side-tracked easily, I spent a couple weeks porting my engine to the web (with Emscripten). #gamedev
