i couldn't think of how i wanted my portfolio site to look and then last night i finally had a brain blast and now im like sooo close to being done i just need to implement it... honestly coming up with what i wanted to do is so much harder than actually doing it

i spent so long looking at cel shading implementations that i didn't like and then said fuck it and then just did dithering and posterization and it looks actually real nice

having to touch shaders in unity is making me miss unreal

also this is the thing in motion, i made video this to show momo that text formatting worked
i'm very happy with how this looks highkey

started working on the visual novel ui!! i made the mockups on the left yesterday, and then today i worked on getting it in game :]
i did some changes for font because it seemed like what i wanted to do wasn't going to be so simple w unity's ui systems, n am real happy w how it turned out!!

wait update on then;again: i'm restarting in unity because i don't quite love unreal and also my old project suffered from Time Crunch disease
i stopped working on the unreal one after grad because school gave me such bad burnout that i could not even force myself to want to work on it

every day i work on the environment in my game i get closer to full sending and making the world just fully un-lifelike
February 17, 2024 at 3:01 AM
realised i haven't posted in a while but i've mostly been doing things that are only really video-able 😭
but im onto environments & such... making a little train station
February 17, 2024 at 1:49 AM
to be honest the thing i'm most unsure about is how i want my ui to look
i got a decent amount of info to convey and i just gotta figure out the way i wanna do it while still having it look good

pretty happy with my progress, only thing i really have left to do for my first phase is making my little basic visual novel engine and that's like a 1 day task tbh

blueprints are just so fun and easy to use it's crazy
January 15, 2024 at 9:22 AM
i hope that whoever made blueprints in unreal engine is having a beautiful day. i hope the flowers bloom as they walk past, and that the sun illuminates the paths they walk

unity's editor is absolutely faster than unreal and unreal has more of a learning curve but man unreal is just so cool that i can't imagine i'll be all too torn up about never using unity again
January 13, 2024 at 8:58 AM
unreal is so crazy cool... the amount of functionality that's just out of the box offered to you is insane, and blueprints make it SO easy like... this is the beautiful world
January 13, 2024 at 8:57 AM
this is my face when i found out that z is up in unreal engine
January 11, 2024 at 7:11 PM
