I love the idea of having 'avatars' in Dwelt, customizable Picrew-style, which represent the soul of your armature... I drew up this Creacherโ„ข as a test for some hologram shaders!

It workedโ€ฆ I did the Intel GPA thingy ๐Ÿฅน #Asura #GuildWars2 I wanna ~~squish~~ get him 3D resin printed

Jade Spring bug: donโ€™t try putting a thousand bees in one spot, your ears wonโ€™t survive xDโ€ฆ I think I can fix this by putting all decoration sounds through their own audio bus with a limiter, which Iโ€™m trying in Dwelt too ๐Ÿ”ˆ #Godot

Here's my crystal shader in Blender, part of a model for a certain currency in Dwelt!!! I use the fresnel as a mask to shade in the rainbow regions

The iridescence is a blobbily painted texture... I sculpted out the crystal onto a very low poly mesh, so it's quite efficient

I grew intrigued of using an avatar cos I really want Little Guysโ„ข in the game, but my organic 3D modelling and anim skill is very limited... using these 2D portraits is not only achievable, I also have some big lore-thoughts as to why you might be a robot but still have a form like this...

I've been connecting Helix to #Godot instead of using the internal script editor recently, and it's awesome! I have the benefit of vim-style selecting/editing and multiple panes, but get to keep Godot's error checking and autofill thanks to its LSP #GameDev

Today I finished putting up this big pin-board, with linen stretched and stapled by me!! It has a mix of my art, and things that my friends have sent to or made for me, which are really precious ;u;

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

Thinking about getting my Tumblr going again ๐Ÿค” partly to mirror the journal on slyllama.net, maybe for a bit of of random stuffs, and also cos I know there are a decent amount of cool GW2 things going on there, that I wanna follow

I started playing Guardian, specifically Firebrand this weekend! Took him to raids yesterday and had a lot of fun... actually I've changed his fashion since this pic, so I'll have to share that later too ๐Ÿ˜› #Asura #GW2

With fingeys crossed I should be able to release a #JadeSpring update quite soon, and I'm really keen to cos the new texture streaming/quality options are SO much kinder on more spicy PCs... I just wanna get those clouds right first

Something that came up in a few chats was that people were after some more flat space to build in! So I've added a new beeg island in the bay in front of Ratchet's vessel

We have all been BAMBOOZLED, as the GUITAR sound is in fact a PIANO, shout-out to this little guy for providing most of the sounds your ears see here!!!

Its real UI is developing too, though :P Dwelt plays similarly to Jade Spring (albeit with more dynamics, puzzles, and synergies), but I want the UI to be much more streamlined especially interacting with things in the world

Very silly #GameDev placeholder painting... you gotta have some fun with it eh xP

It's impressive!! And it was quite painless to implement

Texture streaming is being added to #Godot!! This will be awesome for Jade Spring (and eventually Dwelt), as you can potentially have tonnes of decorations with unique textures in your garden... I've been quite sick recently, but I'm looking forward to trying it out ๐Ÿ‚

I looove doing UI art stuff... I like to start in vectors, and then mask them off and paint over them to get that organic painterly look... I usually get a scan of watercolour paper to add as an overlay lightly over the top

I've been sick :( but cool stuff has been happening! I got most of my stuff moved over from Github to Codeberg... here's a teleporter-thingy I've been working on, too
