Why I didn't decide to apply it to the bottom nodes as well in my first diagram I'll never know. You get the idea.

Add the ability to merge and detach the connectors like they are twisted pair cabling. Works for when you inevitably need to add a new variable into the mix. (pretend it looks better than my shabby drawing)

Civilians that spawned outside but still within the bounds of a building were getting stuck trying to commute to work/home and end up wandering outside the windows forever as they couldn't figure out they had to leave in order to go around to the front door. Aren't games about AI fun? 🙃

Meme image, the header says "The myth of artistic freedom". There is a couple saying "I want to draw it" and "I want to see it" and on the side the Mastercard and Visa logo saying "I DON'T!". Underneath the image - "Isn't there some random payment processor you forgot to ask?"

Been trying to isolate shadows in Unreal for NPR effects for a while so I'm pleased to finally get something decent today.
Visual effect in Unreal engine. The shadows have been isolated into a mask that has been changed to a checkerboard texture.

In case you were wondering why it takes me so long to make video games, it's because my brain acts like this when I'm just trying to study some Japanese before work.
