Second blog in queue published, means I can get started working on the script for Samerion 2027! The game desperately needs a better title. #Samerion

cookie witch doing cookie things, we've got a chocolate day today: — homemade hot chocolate with a sprinkle of cinnamon and chili — gingerbread cake (with chocolate frosting) — chocolate cookies that's how my day is going
lmao? so #discord rolled out age verification and it said my age group is unknown. but apparently it changed its mind today and silently determined I'm an adult it's not like there's a reason stated anywhere lol
After being with us for six years, the last member of our guinea pig herd, Bejb has passed away today. Full of energy, curious and brave—until the very end. #guineapigs #guineapics #pets

superhero movie where the protagonist starts as a barber titled "Shave the world"
The Kazakh flag fuckin' rules. I wish the Irish flag had an emblem on it (would probably be a harp, much less cool than a sun and an eagle but still) and some celtic knot stuff.
And now, because I write on a schedule, I'm already writing another article, perhaps a little shorter. But just a little.
I am apparently following as many as 500 people now. My feed is filled and I often fail to catch up with the work of many of the people I'm interested in. And I keep forgetting that I have set up lists! Or I forget to put the people into lists! Frankly, I don't think a purely chronological feed […]

New blog article should be out by the end of this month. After which I'm working on another one right away.
today's exciting event is the random occurrence of a samerion x phineas and ferb crossover
When your gamedev friend shows you progress on their new engine.
Trying out a new method of drafting articles for the blog, and… well, the longest article to date was about 3000 words long, and now, within about two hours, I've written 3800 words for the next draft. This seems effective.
Here's another video showcasing the model better. I'm gonna have to add 45° angle faces for the head & horns, because they need more depth.
I'm getting ideas for a point-and-click(?) linear story game in the Samerion universe. Something small, 1–2 hours long. I've got two blog articles to write now, so I'll probably get working on the script once I'm done with them.
"A demon possessing me would hate it so much they'd immediately flee my body" No, no, no, you see, demons don't possess out of malice! And it's not that easy to escape a body. Instead, they will struggle in their own way, unused or unaware of your coping methods, making everything worse. Hope […]

Note for next time: Stick to the blog schedule. Grinding to push out an update *and* then immediately following it with a blog is one great way to get art blocked. (I'll be fine, but this sucks a lil)
This👇 https://mastodon.world/@SuneAuken/117222990990397690 From @SuneAuken - If your first reaction to a positive development is to start listing why it's not enough, I'll block you. The development probably came about through the concerted, intelligent efforts of a lot of people. You're […]

The graphics jargon term usually used for something like this is typically "imposter" actually. As in, it's not a real 3D model, but a 2D imposter. www.gamedeveloper.com/programming/...
Imposters
Performance gains can be achieved by using texture atlases and instancing, but it won't be enough for dense environments like forests and jungles. For these, imposters are needed!
