experimenting with bevy_hanabi and using particles to emit lights into the GI system. way over the top but i kind of love it

got emissive sprites wired up and working! tried out making the player emissive and i think it's pretty neat (but too flickery). this has been so satisfying to build

there are a bunch of visual artifacts due to my many rookie mistakes, but i _finally_ have the whole stack working together!

i've been slowly learning to write shaders in #bevy and i'm working my way towards a 2D GI solution with radiance cascades. finally got my SDF calculation composited with the rest of the scene and it feels so goood!

recently made the decision to switch off Unity in favor of a custom engine, and i'm thrilled with how quickly i've been able to put together the bones of an editor. it's been so freeing to just do what i know i'll need

for a second i was sure the answer was to make it an interface and make the return type 'this', but that only gets the type of f2 correct.

still need to fix a dozen sources of jank, need animations, etc, but i’m pretty happy with this first iteration of the world-space UI for charging/timing a swing.

somehow, foolishly, i thought voting early would relieve even a tiny bit of my anxiety around the election.

oops
two stickers, a large one saying “I voted early” and a small one saying “I’m a georgia voter” above “I secured my vote!”

added animations to the menu i built yesterday, and i'm quite pleased. up next is building out all these sub-menus and the animations between them!
