Wow... so after decades of EA buying smaller studios and destroying them/running them into the ground, it gets acquired itself in a Vulture Capitalism private equity play that will bankrupt it as it's stripped for parts. A fitting end.

been seeing nothing but ads for a mapping tool that will go unnamed.. a $20/mo subscription for a mapping tool with the whole selling feature from the free tier being level exporting is INCREDIBLY STUPID and i hope they find no meaningful market share.

still in an early prototyping phase on UV editing controls, but got it working fairly well

after much procrastination and trying to figure out the math, i got the texture uv preview MOSTLY working if we ignore that it starts to break on large faces. #godot #godotengine #solodev #indiedev #tooldev #mapping

I think the sign of a game being enjoyed is when you and your friend play for 10 hours straight and only stop playing because it's getting late. I have played scrap mechanic o>2k hours and it felt kinda boring after awhile.. we played today and took a detour for a quest and played for 4 more hours

wanna know what i did this afternoon? spent almost an hour chopping down an entire ember forest in scrap mechanic

Watched Project Hail Mary earlier this afternoon and GOD DAMN I understand why the movie was so hyped now, it's fuckin amazing.. didn't read the novel though..... I don't really have an opinion on Ryan gosling as an actor since i haven't really seen much of his stuff but he did the role pretty well

You know the world may have a lot of inequality but I feel like there's one thing we can agree on Hamburger helper that's been reheated in a microwave after being in the fridge overnight is much better than hamburger helper straight out of a pan.

I'm making somewhat good progress on my mapping tool and that's transitioning to being my primary project right now, I just hope I can achieve a good level of usability and quality before releasing the source code.

didnt think i'd see the day where i layer violins into a house drop but here we are.

Oh good Only took countless years but the YouTube android app FINALLY HAS A DARK MODE LAUNCHING SCREEN No more getting flashbanged at 2am while launching YouTube after accidentally closing it

after much procrastination and equally as much refactoring, got brush face "extruding"(?) working again.. this time managed by a separate tool class

some stock action

made some tweaks and added some details, feeling like an actual rifle now.. also feels delightfully old school, which was absolutely the vibe i was going for here

did a rough texture pass on what i'm calling the EM-7F Ferguson II, still need to add some other mechanical details though

we live in a world where shrek and master chief can be on the same team against spongebob and princess bubblegum

I swore I would not be working on deadzone to try and recover from burnout, then became way more productive when I stopped even thinking about it and shifted my attention towards scrap mechanic. Managed to throw together a gun model in like an hour today which is fairly rare for me

got the general body done now and dear god is it beautiful.

working on something I am deeply sorry.

working on something I am deeply sorry.

logged into the studio account for the first time in a few weeks and someone had commented asking for a free download of the game 🥲 officially made it as a game dev

Also, I believe I crossed over the 12 month mark on deadzone dev since the early prototype was started in late July of 2025.. 😕 what a fun 4 month project this has been. Looking at going for another 20 at the minimum 😭

Late to the party here, but I began working on texturing the burster a bit earlier. Gonna remake the forward handguard and probably stock though, they're not great What I found interesting is this rifle design is actually kinda close to that of the Arbiter's original design from mid 2025 🤔

will probably have a deadzone build done by the end of the year, wish i got a lot more done this month than i actually did but got burned out then scrap mechanic suddenly happened.. seems like it's going to 2028 at the earliest, to give some runway for pitching and marketing and such..

how hard is it to find a outline shader that does what i want and doesnt have some stupid issues?

On the finale now and god damn is the show hella good I am not disappointed

been watching spider noir and god damn is it a good show also been watching it black and white which just absolutely fits the vibe i'm not really a fan of nicolas cage and don't know half of the actors, but i'm enjoying the show

i'm also leaving a load of TODO comments for myself and dear god 😭 guess the time i'm not spending in scrap mechanic i'm gonna be spending by working on the map editor :/

another codeberg W they're apparently banning repos that are mostly AI written due to code copyright issues.
