nothing better than surfacing from the api mines to have it all plug into the frontend and work first go. like watching a rube goldberg machine made of 100 "that will probably work" sentences. (now to poke the edge cases and see it all topple over and flatten me looney-tunes style)

God where did all my motivation today go

Tulip here helping to edit the video

Working on the voiceover part of the devlog means I have to pause @thenobledemon.bsky.social's NECROMANCY album of bangers, which is my source of motivation presently. I feel like im oscillating between taking cringe self-damage but then healing myself with "the tunes".

NECROMANCY: Demos & Oddities, by Evelyn Lark

25 track album

Re-doing visuals for my tiny 2-minute dev short. I somehow think I spent too much and not enough time on this little interactive diagram. It's mean to illustrate the essence of the ~modulus~ (aka the remainder of a fraction) to loop in a range, which I'm using for a graphical effect. #gamedev

Just finished up a little bit of pathfinding behavior, and decided to treat myself to give moved minis a bit of a "walk" animation. (I don't think they're landing on the grid squares correctly though...) #gamedev

The work calls for more coffee

Luke "anything-but-post-devblog-content" kosmod has just gone for a walk to reward himself for some code well refactored.

I also want to do voice-over video content... I bought a mic for it and recorded a video, but its still so scuffed that I haven't had the courage to post it yet. #gamedev

A habit I am trying to kick is hesitating posting proper WIP stuff. That's what a devblog is for! Posting all the ugly in-between placeholder art and debug lines. I'm easing my way into that. This is a little logo piece I spent a few hours sketching together and rendering in blender! #gamedev

In addition to a dev blog, this will also be a cat page because Tulip here refuses to not be involved in The Work. (Where involved means executing a hitherto yet undiscovered workflow-destroying keyboard shortcut, and then nuzzling the author to gain pets)

The goal is to see and experience as many creative projects and wonders as possible on this site to be inspired But Not become immobilized by imposter syndrome working on my own project

back on my social media shit (gamedev flavored)
