#DOScember (lite) in my Unity Sandbox
YouTube video by Dirk de la Hunt
youtu.be
Decided to use #DOScember as an excuse to show off my little Unity programming sandbox. It's less a game and more chaos turned into code.
There's something so freeing about just coding jank without a care in the world.
It's my sack o' gameplay mechanics.

Gah damn, what a first introduction to Nova Twins! Those pedalboards and sounds are amazing! And if only I could snarl like that, I can seemingly only do one side, sigh.

Watching "The Scorpion King: Book of Souls" and... waaait a minute, I know those hills!
Turns out it was filmed in Cape Town, hah!
Always nice to see the moon "the right way up", too.

Like most of the things I make, it started with a pun screaming to be embodied, so here's a real trailer for my fake game "Crazy Taxidermy Racer".

It's been years since I touched Rust, but Microsoft released their new editor written in Rust and one of the issues was asking for a "reload" option.
I thought it'd be fun to try add and 5 minutes later, BAM!
The code is delightfully simple.
Now to get guts to make a PR.

"Michael Bay And Sydney Sweeney Team On Movie Adaptation Of ‘OutRun’ Video Game At Universal"
Okay, but Bay has a chance to be hilarious and make a movie where you only see the back of the 2 main character's heads throughout the movie (they don't crash or taunt, so no side-ons)

A beautiful song played at the start of this weeks Daredevil episode, looking it up, it's song 10 on this album.
It gives me the same Walter Mitty feeling of wanting to just escape up north to the middle of a nowhere.

"Avengers: Doomsday" announced 27 major characters, with some surprises probably not mentioned.
If the movie is 2 hours long, and only consists of the characters talking, each person only gets 4.5 minutes of dialogue.
And now I kinda want a "Avengers: Discussion" movie.

Last night vs. tonight. Overlapping the images you get to see the tiny sliver it's grown. I tried adding that sliver to this image, but it just looked wrong, but I thought this looked neat anyway, so :shrug: it is.

I'm seeing more and more false accusations of people being bots, posts being ChatGPT/AI generated, with the sole "evidence" being that the text is coherent and follows the basic grammar rules.

@kenney.bsky.social published some minigolf assets, and while my prototype is doing them no favours, it did bring up an interesting dilemma.
I'm using a generic in-game tile placer.
Being generic, it doesn't know about types of tiles. So on subsequent shots, how do you know where to aim next?

There's nothing original about it, because I'm just implementing mechanics for a library of gameplay things I need, and learning new #gamedev things I've never gotten a chance to do, like using FMOD Studio for the first time.

I don't normally care how something looks, but I find Severance to be one of the most strikingly gorgeous things "on film" I've ever seen.
And I absolutely love the delivery and vocabulary whenever Kier or work related topics are spoken of, it tickles my brain in delightful ways.

The new Captain America fractures a baddie's arm early on in the movie, and then jokes about it with his buddies when backup arrives.
I guess that tracks.

Prototyping a game before adding audio is all fine and dandyliony... until you add a single sound, then everything else seems so dead and empty.
Then you add more sounds until only obscure gaps exist.
And then you hate hearing the same sounds over and over and turn them all off.

Streaming platforms realllly don't understand that if you've watched up the credits, that you're done with that episode/movie now, you don't need to keep it in the "continue watching" queue.
