Busy working on WitchGhost updates and have begun work on the sequel. Here is some early footage showing the basic char controller and beginnings of the inventory system

It's Transgender Awareness Week!

I don't think I have actually come out (hehe) and said it, but I am trans! My pronouns are she/her.

To celebrate Trans Day of Visibility earlier this year, I added a channel reward called "Jeff". It's got an Easter egg when enough people redeem it.

Unfortunately, I'm not feeling well today, so no stream.

I finished modeling a smart board and added it to my Pocket Dimension! Now I have a proper display to project things onto. I'm so excited!

I've been working a lot on my Godot streaming environment and been making excellent progress. Here's a little test mockup with a custom clock model I made, plus video from OBS streaming into the engine via NDI.

Heya! I had to take a bit of a longer hiatus than I'd like (thanks, Real Life). But! I'll start streaming again next week! I'll reply to this post over the weekend with the plan.

I'm not feeling well today, so I'm canceling today's stream. I should (hopefully) be back on Thursday!

I forgot to announce today's stream (oops), but I did some more 3D modelling in Blender. This time, the model is based on the YoYoJam Unleashed, a modified shape yo-yo that's great for looping tricks. Though it looks simple, I learned to use the array modifier to add its starburst response system!

I had a lot of fun on stream today making a yo-yo in Blender. It's nothing fancy, but I got to review how to use Blender, which I haven't done in months. Plus! I got to talk a lot about yo-yos!

This model is based on the YoYoJam Dark Magic, the yo-yo I learned all the basic tricks on.

Heya! Just a heads up that I will stream later than usual today because I'm accompanying our pets to the vet.

I've wanted to try learning how to use Emacs for many years, and this weekend I went ahead and just installed it. I finished the built-in tutorial today, and y'all... it's fun??? Like, just the text navigation is so satisfying even though I'm super slow at it.

The to do list is complete, the end game content is in and the approval from Steam is here. I've poured my heart and soul into this project and am, for the first time ever, about to acheive a dream. WitchGhost will release on 31st October 🎉

discord. is. not. documentation!

it annoys me to no end to find a seemingly cool program or game or mod or something, but the only way to figure anything out about it requires going into yet another discord server and have to search through potentially years worth of random chat

Hey devs, I wanna chat with you. 30m about how your development workflow has changed now that these agentic systems are here to stay. What's good, what sucks now, and what you're doing to stem the tide of sh*t AI code in your codebases.

I built a basic overlay in Godot that reacts to Twitch cheer events. I use Firebot to forward the events to Godot through HTTP requests. Here's a quick demo.

To the person whose car I saw today with the rear bumper sticker of Gale Dekarios captioned, "Let me merge or I'll self-destruct": thank you for cheering me up. And also for letting other motorists know what's on your hind--I mean mind.
