My prediction that a plasma voice, wasp filter, and two spring reverbs would make a good combo turned out to be absolutely correct
The modules are so wobbly and unpredictable that even without modulating anything via CVs, the sounds change and evolve by themselves.
(tho ofc I'm modulating via CVs)

Anyone happens to be into radio stuff?
Looking for a radio receiver and I have two main priorities
1: The more bands I can tune into the better
2: I want to tune it manually, automatic locking into signals is bad - it's noise and bad signals I'm specifically after

I've been telling you many times over last week that I've been pondering the orb, but I never showed you the orb I'm pondering

I've been pondering the orb for almost a week now. Now I'm making audio design for the orb with my new equipment
Yes, my rack has two spring reverbs because I thought the effect would sound way better in stereo (and yes, it does).

I'm working on an orb being in my game, and it's one of the most complex parts, with many different behaviors. 🔵
It's going to take a lot of thinking and planning to do this right. One may say, I'm going to have to...

Looking for fun deep house or minimal techno for inspiration, toward a groovy/bouncy feel, but not too harsh. Any tips?
Kinda like this (which is in the game Lethal League):

Keeper from Double Fine passed me by at launch, but their new high contrast mode patch changed everything. It became my first completed game of 2026! New accessibility review is live—not perfect, but worth checking out. 3.5/5 ⭐

Keeper from Double Fine completely passed me by when it came out last October, but when they reached out about a new accessibility patch that added high contrast mode, I decided to give it a shot.

My first venture into compute shaders made me go "this is so primitive and bare bone in a way regular shaders aren't" so much that now I want to make a game where all rendering exclusively uses compute shaders
I wonder if this is a horrible idea

I tried the demo and it was great! Also look at its style, I love this sorta stylized retro/modern combo. I'll definitely get the full game.
Also, when my character holds a weapon in each hand in front of the camera while walking, I always whisper "Bushwalker!"

Early in my game dev, my projects were shorter, but these days I tend to spend at least two years on each game I make

Planning which should be the last modules that fit into my modular rack
I'm eyeing the combo of Shakmat Jeweler Cast, Xaoc Timizoara and a Doepfer A-178V Theremin
Gives me two effect modules, and a modulation source I can do realtime stuff with using my body that's less fiddly than turning a knob

One of the best decisions I made was using LDtk by @deepnight.net for my level editing needs instead of Unity's tilemaps
I even managed to create a little visual scripting language so I can add logic directly in the levels by placing and connecting nodes.
Fun thing... (1/2)

Seeing love for Clone Trois is such a treat bc it was complicated to make. To make it work -I had to pre visualize every shot, composite, eye line, body double, + be sure no one bumped the camera or we’d have to start over. Our star Olive Kimoto had to change costumes so many times ❤️🩹🏥 🤪@blippo.plus

Algorithm is complete, though I still need to add more rules than regular Game of Life (it's fully supported, I just need to actually do it)
Will also add control over spawning so patterns aren't just randomly spawning, but actually reactive
Next up, I'll make a test environment for creating rules

I have implemented a noise for 256x256 buffers, that repeats every 65535 iteration
Now I just have to stare at it for 18 minutes and I'll have completely verified that it's reliable :)

C++ people in the know, do you reckon in a year or so, modules will be widely supported?
I use C++ for my adaptive music software's DSP code, but no matter how many on stackoverflow say that header files are good actually, I hate header files
With modules, I'd consider making C++ my main language

A discovery I made is, I big time prefer compute shaders from regular shaders. With Unity, even with unlit shaders, there are so many macros to satisfy the engine's quirks based on what kind of renderer the shader is for
Looking forward to my own engine where all nonsense is my own nonsense

Compute shader cellular automation code with color propagation seem to work nicely!
Don't worry, it won't be as chaotic in the actual game :)
