I wanted to make a shader for a random flame that looked hand drawn. So I took a gradient with some color banding, and wiggled it around with noise.

I didn't think it would take 5 hrs to compile an entire Linux distro for some reason. But hey, I got Knulli working on a not-yet-supported RG34xx yesterday!

I completely redid the rocky/ocean planet shader. The lighting is much improved.

I've decided to release my planet generator toy as open source. It'll take a few weeks. I thought I'd make my own game with it, but I've got enough projects right now.

I'm using a gradient, blending 2 noise textures for warping the UV, and then 2 more noise textures for regional warp intensity. Each noise texture moves at a different speed. I could write a script to generate the gradient and noise textures randomly each time.

Caves of Qud hit 1.0 this week, and looks great in 21:9. Supporting multiple screen ratios is quite the feat for tile-based UI games.

What have I been up to? Fighting long-term illness. Otherwise, I've been learning to make shaders.
