He/Him. Gamedev. Working on a lil 3 button arcade game. Backlogged making a stealth game. Sometimes I draw too.
If you wanna riff on my stuff just lemme know, I'm generally cool with derivative/inspired things and like seeing em!
No LLMs, sometimes 🔞 art

Spicy drawing, I really like how the colors came out tho! nsfw for those filtering out this stuff. If you want me to post with other tags to highlight that lemme know so it doesn't hit your pages without warning.

Messed around with markov chains in pico8 for a bit to make a goofy little hypothetical question generator.
It's neat, but did get me thinking about proc gen and that dangerous LLM "need more data to make it work well" territory.

Starting the little barking dog sim prototype in pico8. Dog is barking. Enjoying the limitations here, and re-thinking my plans to fit into a workable tiny proof of concept.

Was looking into different games that took a more "property centric" approach to game design for most of the day. Y'know your Thiefs and Deus-ex's ofc, but I didn't know Dungeon Siege was designed that way too.
So ofc bought it to "research" aka procrastinate the rest of the day.

I've been tinkering with this smaller game idea now for... a month or two? Probably too early to share too much implementation but I think the concept drawings I've dabbled with so far are fun and have potential.

Sharing the vertex animation shader for Godot that I am working on and will use in my game.
It allows to draw tens of thousands animated meshes with unique per instance animation in a single draw call.

Sorry to the folks that followed for more of the art side of stuff I do. I'm in my arc of learning college level comp-sci I never truly got until now, well into my 30's.
So it's maybe all downhill from here unless I get bored and go back to making hot low poly vampires.

Wow it's already been nearly a month since I decided to pick up C and start up some engine-y coding. Feels almost embarrassingly slow progress-wise, but I got some custom bitmap font loading/render working. Learned a LOT about memory, character encoding standards, C project building / linking etc.

Was feeling frustrated with some knowledge gaps I had with programming/developing apps so I decided to dig into learning C a bit to understand like what the hell even is Computer.
Been going good so far, it's nice to be finally gripping some like foundational stuff that never clicked for me b4
