Fun '06 fact: the button window text is always rendered twice, but is covered up by the main menu panels, so you don't see the duplicate at the top left.

Godot thing I noticed. When it comes to opened models, TSCN files are just archives and not references.
Been driving me nuts trying to figure out why reimported model anims weren't updating.
Turns out they *can't*.
It'd be better to maintain an animlibrary of exported anims, I guess.

Code is sometimes just cascading chains of things that have to be fixed so other things can be fixed.
I finished up some hurtbox code over the last month and felt like Hal from Malcom in the Middle.
"Hey finish those hurtboxes?"
*Looks up from improving engine printline support*
"Workin' on it!"

Hey, I worked on this! I didn't open the Unity editor a single time, but I did use it as an excuse to get back into writing music for the first time in YEARS. Including learning Ableton from scratch, since it was time to move on from Reaper.

Because I simply can't stop, I also did a game jam this weekend.
(More like I signed up for suff and forgot they were all close lol)
The theme was "mundane" so we made a game about cleaning up leaf piles. But also if those piles fought back.

I've shown this effect before, but there's something else that's cool about it. There's nothing stopping me from placing these fake windows in front of walls. This is how the doors to other maps work. I didn't model any openings.

I'm Spex, 3d generalist/tech artist and hobby gamedev who likes to branch out into whatever seems interesting.
I have a few games I'm working on, and I post about game jams a lot - but you'll mostly see me posting bright low/midpoly 3d art and the occasional 3d print!

All of my prompts for ⚔️ #Swordtember2025!
4th year in a row doing these all! They're always a fun challenge, and even though I go the extra mile for designing characters, still can't wait for next year's #Swordtember!

Seriously. Draw something. It’s fun. Who cares if it looks weird. Draw it again until you like what you’ve drawn. I’m still trying to get to that point.

My #swordtember project this year is a playable game where I upload a new sword to the game everyday. Still can't believe I'm doing it, and it might not be any good, but the game exists. See you on other side. #gamedev #godot

30 fully rigged animated characters in 30 days
Incredibly proud. But also. Next year I am going to do ✨less✨
This was a lot. 😂
Looking forward doing gamedev again instead of Blender every day.
