finally back from offkai and otakon as of yesterday. I spent some downtime at ota with my laptop hacking away at OpenVT. Latest commits on main are now based on Ayagami, making progress towards zero proprietary dependencies. Other ext I maintain are being rebased or rewritten to latest godot rust.

I just looked at the photo of my table setup on my desktop and it's so fucking blurry. My phone camera is such ass, I really need something better for next year...

Feeling motivated. On top of working on my games, I really want to complete at least 2 full rendered pieces a month. I want to have books, I want to draw more vtubers that I follow/watch, I want to take commissions. 9 months until next offkai means I need to begin my grind asap

Thank you everyone who stopped by the last couple nights! I love offkai so much, every year is amazing and it means a lot to have been able to have tabled again, especially after the recent changes in my life. The awesome turnout, pleasant discussions, and new faces I got to meet all give me hope 🥹

Table setup in Yabai Market at Offkai! Come see me there Friday and Saturday nights from 8pm-1am.

offkai day 0 last night was awesome. Rodent cigarette meetup was crazy good, and then following that up with hot dogs and music in the park courtesy of the seeder cookout and tabemonos was all peak vibes 😤👌

It took me 17hr to get from home to hotel, Philly to San Jose, for offkai 🫠 I need a drink

rewatching riki's valentines dj mix since it's been awhile and I forgot how she did not chill for one second with the visuals. The whole experience is bangers on bangers youtu.be/pb97yUywl6E

printing on linux is so fuckin weird and inconsistent. I have a spreadsheet of printer color adjustment settings for each of my pieces of art, but then I learned today that these settings only work if I specifically print from GIMP and not other programs. It makes no sense

Dropping by the Yabai Market at #OffKaiGen5 on Friday or Saturday night? I'll have prints and stickers at artist table 2 near the entrance!

I wish Nintendo would fix Switch Sports bowling so that you can do proper turn based with friends online like you do locally. I want to do a bowling league kind of set up but the vibes are off when you're all playing simultaneously, and you don't feel that team supportive energy

forgot to share another character model I did last week

I badly need someone to mod Rune Factory on PC so I can marry the single moms

Is anyone doing a Linux (+Mac) vtuber/tech meetup at Offkai? I want to hang out with fellow creators who have abandoned Microslop

how the fuck has it already been 8 months since I spent a week whipping up my dungeon system 😩 And here I am about to scrap 80% of it because I need something better fit for the flow of the new combat. Maybe someday I'll come back and try again to do a Mabinogi like dungeon and combat

got really side tracked focusing on getting walls to fade properly for my aesthetics. I still feel like I've only scratched the surface since I never really design 3D games. I tried so many different approaches to detect objects between my player and camera before discovering ShapeCast3D.

Almost all of the messages I get on linkedin are so obviously AI. It was bad enough before when recruiters would just pick keywords from your profile and plug them into a template, but now it's gotten even worse. If you're not going to bother acting like a human, why should I respond like one?

it's really my hope that with all the layoffs, watching as these too big to fail companies hemorrhage due to their incessant pursuit of infinite growth, that instead of just finding work at another slop shipper we form a bunch of smaller companies that serve people instead of shareholders

my stomach sinks every time I hear any artist say they only really use instagram for their social media/portfolio. No one with a drop of creative self respect should willfully putting their art in the hands of anything under Meta's umbrella. Your art is more than just data

As part of Meta’s Muse Image model rollout, Instagram users with public accounts need to opt out to block AI generations of their content. www.wired.com/story/meta-n...

I love how the normals on my character model are kinda fucked right now and I haven't bothered to fix 'em because of my character shader just darkens instead of culls backfaces. It looks like my placeholder character is just some amorphous blobby guy with a receding hairline

with combat now being a little more stateful due to various pause states, I decided to remove button holds from any inputs to make it feel more responsive. The defense stance has been replaced with parrying, and bursting is now a skill that you activate by pressing two buttons simultaneously

revisited combat over the past day. Started 3D modeling and animating enemies (made a cuter slime) and the player. UI got a bit of a touchup to, making it more responsive and stylish

I couldn't stop myself.....

I really need to lock the fuck in for offkai and stop working on this game though

Spent the past couple nights building a new combat system from the ground up for my game. It came out kind of as a hybrid of Legaia and FFXIII

looking through anime to watch next and I don't know why I'm such a Bee Train fan. Nothing they've made is particularly amazing but it always leaves a lasting impression. A solid 7/10 studio, just like my other fav Gonzo
