sofmallow…2! (we talk here more) | 🔞18+ only pls…. there will be explicit nsfw on occasion
we would and do want to draw kazooie greatly but we need to finish the n64 banjo games before were allowed
it was probably a really good idea to get into 3d rendering and its various hardware requirements during this hell period for computing hardware if our macbook or pc ever dies were fuuuuuucked
reconsidering things… what a weird day (week) (month) (year) (decade)
we feel ourselves becoming distant from this side of our work. and in general feeling very stuck which weve felt for the last 5 years
this is how we learn this can happen because the visibility in the dm3 is dogshit and we forgot which end of the train we were on
reinforced by us writing a custom image loader in godot and it was the most fun weve had so far in it just doing byte loading and interpretation and not having to touch much of anything outside the script editor and also we accidentally stayed up until 3 am because we were enjoying it too much
hotel@hotelfella.bsky.social · 3w agoit occurs to us we struggle with a lot of programming stuff not because its too hard or our brain doesnt work with it but we just dont really like having 1000 layers of abstraction

weve been boycotting microsoft published games since the BDS call against them started but theyre really doing everything they can to make sure we never want to give them anything again even if all that ever lets up
infinite numbers of little physics tweaks, a basic script for the table (keeps track of score internally, no display yet), and pressure activated slingshots (without any model) sounds are also wip (recordings of us smacking things with a big metal screw)
spills our godot pinball engine we'd been working on and off on the last few weeks all over the floor ah fuck ah shit
hotel@hotelfella.bsky.social · last mo.our most ridiculous dream right now is to illustrate for a pinball table which has the unfortunate requirement of needing a pinball table to illustrate for but fuuuck man it would be so cool

if you get out of the world of shitty streaming services how is music like the only media where drm-free became standard and you can just download the files raw but everything else got worse
its always excusing ai by saying its just for the concept art and storyboards and not the final product as if those arent the most integral and impactful part of the creation process
looking at the PR and various things it references and seeing that (from our best guess) its done via mipmaps filtered with gaussian blur is honestly beautiful. we love rendering
hotel@hotelfella.bsky.social · 2mo agoso godot has real time textured area lights now and what the Fuck we are actually just in awe

we feel like an less-discussed aspect of video game graphics is how the less realistic a game looks the less anything less than perfect polish stands out, like minor graphical errors in an old game we just completely tune out but if we see a tree act weird in RDR2 our brain focuses on it instantly
we feel particularly obligated to put a real attempt in to finish it finally after playing around with a conceptual lizard OC this weekend and absolutely wanting to draw a lot more of them
hotel@hotelfella.bsky.social · 3mo agothe need to play ,... . . rain world hitting again hogh
how are y'all playing star fox 64 because we cannot aim with anything other than the original n64 joystick and thats too deteriorated to output full range and turn fast enough for the free-flying sections 🥲
by roadcraft standards this truck feels small but we can carry at least 2 friends and it only gets a little scary around turns
