Hello Bluesky! Here are a few things I've worked on up to 2021; a lot of 3D animation, and some other disciplines...

I added a "grab stance" with 4 actions (three swipes & one "button push") to all of our first-person weapons. Inspired by what "Left 4 Dead" did when you looked at item pickups. sbox.game/news/july-2025 #animation

This is a great thread @hillsguy.bsky.social, I'll add a bit more context here for anyone interested.
Yes there's no fancy sim - it just uses a water interaction buffer as a target for the particle system rendering, so we could use the power of particle system we already have.

Decided to check out how water is rendered in Counter-Strike 2.
Given how interactive water in CS2 is, I expected to see some cellular fluid simulation, but turns out they just use a low-resolution off-screen buffer with flat 2D decals used for various aspects of water. Reminds me of HL2 water :)

I have a vague memory of a sort of alt-history article that talked about FPSes as if they never existed until now b/c "how could we expect players to be satisfied with such simple ballistics modeling on guns? It's so hard to get right, unlike simulating relationships"
Does that ring anyone's bells?

It's a shame that USB-C cable manufacturers don't label their products, given the wide variety of specifications. Gotta do it yourself.

I found out today that Firefox has a "compact" interface mode, and it's so much nicer! Especially if you've got folders with dozens of bookmarks... support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/com...

A mildly-amusing edge case I fixed today while adding support for speed-scaling parts of our weapon animation graphs; prevent an awkward pause if someone decides to set the shotgun to reload really, really, really fast... (the solution was to define the transition point by the cycle progress)

Today I learned about Étienne-Louis Boullée, an architect from the 1700s who designed buildings that would have been largely impossible with the technology of the time
Look how fucking ridiculously cool these are

I have three years worth of #gamedev / tech anim blooper clips like this one... I should compile them all into a single video one day, but for now, I reckon I'll start sharing some of them here 🤠
