The kind of Hytale tutorial ill make is one you want all your friends to do, one that makes them find the belief they can do it if they set their mind to it, the kind that dispels fear and allows people to move forward Every time I was with a friend I'd make them do the CGFastTrack Blender tutorial

In Minecraft all I do is roam around, every corner is beauty waiting to be noticed. Here in Hytale, I don't feel like the world is truly mine in my lonesome, but that is also a strength, the world is alive and you are an actor evolving within. I see the potential. Very good work

Coming back to programming in the age of AI makes me feel disturbed, I'm used to friction and spending my time browsing gnu c docs Now I can ask AI to explain notions, everything I don't understand I just name it and I get an explanation

League arc has ended, I was the 3000th player in EU West (top 0.07%), after my first 5 months of a serious ranked season. It was fun to stream, to improve, to be confronted with how lacking I was, as a player and as a human being. Many times, I thought it was all over for me, I got stuck,

I view game development as the making of other realities, ones where the player may enter as themselves, and leaves changed. A space where people can grasp things in ways that are beyond their current self and leave with that new understanding.

This week-end, we learned how to animate a character, use tilemaps to create a world, different colliders and their usages, implement player movement, make a jump that falls faster when you lose your momentum... Let's see what we do next

Transmission This was one was very satisfying to make, learning modelling skills paid off as I simply had to look at one picture every now and then to make the telescope! Lighting & sky is taken care of by an HDRi, coton fields & scattering from Grassblade plugin.
