Been working on a prototype for a spaceship/aircraft building game. In this example I built a fly-by-wire stabilization system to make flying in turbulent conditions easier (you can see the elevons & rudder moving to counteract the acceleration shown on the yaw/pitch/roll gyro).

Rendering the phases of the moon in my pixel-art bonsai simulation. This is showing time sped up, in practice it matches the phase of the moon in your geolocated position. Check it out at vibes.pixelheart.io/#bonsai. #pixelart.

Been working on some pixel art vignettes/simulations. They can render in both html and on a 64x32 led matrix hooked up to a raspberry pi. Might not be obvious buts it’s all very overengineered - IK solvers, particle systems, tracking the position of the sun & moon etc. lots of fun.

Built a new cherry blossom visualization for my lo-fi LED display (in addition to the existing fireplace & aquarium boxes I built a long time ago). The gently falling leaves, scrolling clouds & background audio make for a pretty idyllic final result

More Junkship #gamedev. Seamless transition from ground to space. Takes some careful blending between 11 different effects to make it work

Reposting some more recent Junkship #gamedev. Volumetric clouds, water reflections, day/night transitions

For everyone currently doing big tech performance reviews, here's how I think they'd go down in the Dune universe.

First attempt at a 3D print. I think I set everything up right, but I guess we’ll find out in a few hours

#gamedev #procgen Been working on atmosphere and volumetric clouds. The atmosphere and cloud lighting are all physically based, so coloring at sunset is completely automatic. Still some bugs & framerates a bit choppy, but I have a few tricks which should speed things up.

Flying from planet to planet. Transition from ground to space is working pretty well. Planets themselves look terrible up close though :) need to work on 3d terrain lod, clouds, oceans... #procgen #gamedev

Rendering a day/night cycle. Need to add some clouds & tidy up the transition from ground -> space, but the basics are there #gamedev #procgen

Been improving the camera so that it can snap to the nearest planet. I've been using the same camera class for years & didn't realize until I tried to get it to work with arbitrary axes that the math was completely wrong and it only worked by pure luck before. #gamedev #procgen

Got my LED fireplace roaring. It's a simple particle system using Node.js on a Raspberry Pi. Have some tweaks in mind but even this basic version looks pretty good. Looks smoother in person as the camera picks up some flicker your eye can't
