Setting properties was working for scene nodes, but not for entities as they're a special case in the engine. As of today, it now works for entities, and there's now automatic write/read for properties you set up with some basic validation.
Apologies for ugly UI, it's pending a rewrite 🙃

Not sure why I didn't post about it earlier, but late last month I added a gradient sky effect for the game. The one that's actually in use isn't as trippy as this, it's just for demonstration purposes. Well, unless you want to make a level that way I guess.

It's now possible to merge brushes in the engine into a single object, export it and then import it into other rooms.
You can technically child the brushes to a parent node and export that but it felt a little messy rather than just doing it as one object.

Gradually making progress on a compass. This'll be a lot less obnoxious when I'm done.

Well that was a pain, but my engine now supports variable pitch fonts correctly.

There are some really weird accounts on GitHub that just seem to follow and unfollow over and over? I wish GitHub had a block feature.

I fucking hate this country. And this is about as much of a mess as I expected it to be; Hatred isn't blocked. Postal 2 isn't blocked. But some game called TurretGirls, which, as far as I'm aware doesn't have NSFW content, is blocked.

Finally got off my fat ass and updated the camera system to support a first-person mode (which is what my game is primarily going to be using anyway).

What... ? So I had it on pre-order. Game is out today. I'm apparently getting it on Thursday. But if I bought it *now*, I could get it tomorrow!? 🤨

Really nice video talking about Anvil's rendering architecture here. youtu.be/CcYq18bkvyU
Wasn't expecting it to be followed up with a quick video of the Perforce history though. Seems to start off in April 2004, which I think makes sense, following Sands of Time. Just wish it wasn't so low res :(

Gradually working on the new timeline view for thedatadungeon.com - not quite what I had in mind for it, but it's gradually getting there. This will automatically provide a timeline of all publications and distributions, and eventually more.
