Tonight's aurora borealis over northern Indiana has been spectacular. These past couple of years have been amazing for sky watching between the comets and auroras.

After about 20 attempts, I've finally got a working prototype coded entirely through prompts given to Gemini CLI. Depending on feedback I get from testing, I will be rewriting this myself. It's not perfect, but still nice to have a working prototype of a concept within a day. #gamedev #ai

There's a profound richness in simply being here, watching the world unfold. Calm appreciation clears the noise, making your true path brilliantly clear. Stop chasing; start creating. Making things happen begins by seeing what's around you, then building from that clarity. #mindset #inspiration

I'm trying to turn my phone into less of a time waster and more into a platform that will keep me productive. So far my attempts haven't worked, but I'm trying something new this time around.

I watched an early screening of Superman last night. It's not the Superman people have grown accustomed to at the cinema, but it's the Superman we need: it's all about kindness and humanity... I don't understand how any of what was portrayed is "woke," but I guess I don't get that terminology.

Does anyone else remember when YoYo Games hosted a competition to change the logo of Game Maker and this is the logo they chose to go with? 😃
Those were the days, y'all ... those the golden age of indie game dev.

Oh wow. $80 USD for Mario Kart World, and $450 for the Switch 2 by itself. 🙃 I'm okay with the console price, but the game prices are waaaaay out of range compared to others right now.

It's been a few months, but I'm going to use the free time I have this morning to work on my Godot project! I... I just don't know what I was doing, and reading the code again is like reading ancient glyphs from a time long forgotten. Send help.

I finally picked this up from my (somewhat) local Books-a-Million today! I've been wanting to read these books for quite some time but never took the plunge. Maybe instead of focusing so much on trying to learn, I should find escape in Middle Earth?

I'm cleaning out my drawer at work as it's my last day here. It's kinda bittersweet, though I know that there are better things in store moving forward.

I figured I'd share with y'all what I finally finished: my third-person character controller and camera! It's functioning how I want it to after about an hour and a half of working on it today. I definitely feel very accomplished and excited to move on to the next functionality!

Can kinda see the northern lights tonight. Barely visible by the naked eye, but it's there.

I know Wednesday I said I made a Trello board for my game, but I've decided to switch to Notion. I've played with Notion before and I think I'll benefit from not only the Kanban boards, but also being able to document everything and better keep track of development and ideas.

I was only able to work on my game for approx. 16 minutes this morning... but in that time, I did get my third-person camera working on a stationary object! 😬 I'll try to post a GIF or video of it in motion later on.
Next up: player controller (aka movement)!

I've managed to "work" on my game before I leave for work this morning. I didn't get up as early as I wanted to this morning but at least it's some progress!
I'm currently rewriting my camera controller script from another project so I can refresh myself on how it works.

Dang, I didn't make it in the cool sub-million gang. I guess #1,044,561 is still good though. At least I'm on here and not X. 🤷♂️

I've got about 2 hours this morning to work on my project... I'm gonna try hard to not delete everything and start over and instead work with what I've got. 🤣 I'm going to spend this time getting the camera working properly, and maybe some basic player interactions done. #gamedev #indiedev
September 15, 2024 at 1:58 PM
Welp, after an hour of work I pretty much accomplished very little aside from getting a test scene (a cube for ground) and a player object/default controller in. I almost had camera functionality working, but I destroyed the progress I had because I wanted it to be perfect. 🤷♂️ #gamedev #indiedev

I finally took a Saturday morning off so I could get some stuff done before my second job this afternoon. I unfortunately only have an hour before I have to leave, but I've officially started on my new Godot project! I'm excited to see what I can get done in this next hour. 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev

This is my little black notebook I've had since June. There are 64 pages filled out with thoughts, journaling, and ideas I can look back at and reflect on, with new pages being filled out every couple of days at this point. Writing down my thoughts helps me declutter my brain.

I was at the store to buy deodorant a few days ago when I spotted this nearby. I decided to give it a squirt to see if it smelled the same, and a wave of nostalgia went straight into my nostrils unlocking memories of my childhood of playing Wind Waker on the GameCube.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I'm actually excited to see what James Gunn does with the DCU. Guardians 3 was the only Marvel movie since Endgame that truly felt like a Marvel movie, and I am excited to see his take on the DC side of things. Plus, this Superman actually doesn't look bad.
