I finished modeling a smart board and added it to my Pocket Dimension! Now I have a proper display to project things onto. I'm so excited!

I've been working a lot on my Godot streaming environment and been making excellent progress. Here's a little test mockup with a custom clock model I made, plus video from OBS streaming into the engine via NDI.

I forgot to announce today's stream (oops), but I did some more 3D modelling in Blender. This time, the model is based on the YoYoJam Unleashed, a modified shape yo-yo that's great for looping tricks. Though it looks simple, I learned to use the array modifier to add its starburst response system!

I had a lot of fun on stream today making a yo-yo in Blender. It's nothing fancy, but I got to review how to use Blender, which I haven't done in months. Plus! I got to talk a lot about yo-yos!

This model is based on the YoYoJam Dark Magic, the yo-yo I learned all the basic tricks on.

I built a basic overlay in Godot that reacts to Twitch cheer events. I use Firebot to forward the events to Godot through HTTP requests. Here's a quick demo.

I started working on a new "Wave" emote at the end of stream. I keep telling myself to "trust the process" because my goodness, art is difficult.

I figured out how to make my custom buttons resize automatically. No more manually editing each button's child nodes!

Made some improvements today to the settings window!

It was a struggle, but I'm getting the hang of Godot's control nodes. (Please ignore the weird text, I still need to figure out bitmap fonts).

I'll go live today at 11 AM ET (UTC -4) to continue working on this Godot remake. I made substantial progress last stream, and hopefully the game will be finished today.

Ah, so that's where my week disappeared to.

I'm getting back into regular streams this week! Stella, my little helper beaver, has been hard at work setting up a schedule board.

As an aside, I tried daily driving Linux, but I got tired of having to fix and work around so many things that I gave up. I still enjoyed my time with it, but I want to spend my time making things rather than tinkering with my computer.

I made a schedule template on stream today! It was a lot more time-consuming than I expected to get this fairly simple layout. Still, I now have a base I can iterate on.

Next, I'll figure out how to convert the text I drew into a full-fledged font.

I finally got around to making some panel images for my Twitch channel! I made these on stream, and I studied some of the UI from the GBA Pokemon games to create the frame. There's definitely a lot of room for improvement, but I feel like I leveled up my pixel art skills.
