Do I know any animators on here?
Making an 8-10 minute short film that plays like an animated children's book.
Specifically hand-drawn-style or paint-style, but still functionally CG using modern software and workflows. No AI please.

#dosember drawing to a close seems a fitting time to wrap up this MS-DOS gouraud renderer, which I've been wanting to write for ages now. Running on emulated 486. Music from Team Yankee II. Sources up soonish (DJGPP or Watcom C). #retrogames #IndieGameDev

I've released my tool for encoding pixel art on floppy disk tracks.
Because that is surely a thing that people will want to do? I don't know. I just get ideas and dumb stuff happens.

I can’t get over how one directional Instagram feels…
I liked old Twitter & now BlueSky because they feel like local pubs you go into and join chats with old mates and new. Instagram feels like you are walking into the backstage at a theatre where everyone is practicing their monologues.
