Why must everything in game dev be a rabbit hole? Just wanted to update player footstep response to metal and now I'm looking up static and kinetic friction coefficients smh

Do not make the rookie mistake I did in Unreal Engine by relying on delays. "I'm smart and know exactly how the game should play out, so I'll use my superior logic and just use delays." - this is actually not smart and uses inferior logic.

Read through a great art book and learned why they made stylistic choices and I have a better understanding for the art direction of the game. Cel shading is the best technique I'm aware of so I've been messing around with materials. So far:

I feel guilty whenever I'm not in engine doing stuff for the game. I know it's not rational because any work is progress, but the feeling remains.
Storyboarding is an opportunity to learn Krita anyway because that's the chosen animation program.
Please excuse the chicken scratch. #indiegamedev

I'll answer any questions for you, but I'm no expert and this scene isn't rendered in a traditional way. It's all sprites stacked on sprites.

Cait’s post piqued my curiosity, so I checked which recent block lists I’m on. In a different thread I suggested this guy was a fed and shortly after get added to a list of “Knowers”

I went back and checked the results and the past 5 years are interesting. GOP ramps up "socialist" probably as an attack in 2021, but maybe it wasn't so effective.
"socialism" seems to be a popular word for both parties.

Drawing props and background art is such a chore. You hear "Art is humanity's expression of the soul!" but like how do environmental artists get psyched for drawing their 100th used diaper.

Created a blueprint to randomize orientation for textures. I feel like this is such a trivial feature there must be something missing. The construction script is just always left blank on Unreal Engine tutorials, but there are probably 100s of useful things to put there.

The monthly, “Bluesky is Dying”discourse just dropped. Most data in these right wing driven narratives will show the drop from a few months back and leaves out the year+ stats. There were also about 28 million less users this same time last year.
