There. I still want to rework the options menu in #ProjectSpecialK so I won't add it as a slider until then, but the deadzone is now user-facing as a console variable.

It's an engine feature checklist, I suppose.
If you know of anything missing on this list, or want to help me check something off, please let me know.

What is a shadow map if not a depth map from the light's point of view instead of the camera's?
No, I shouldn't get too confident...

#ProjectSpecialK has a depth prepass now. Six or so hours of research by my guesstimate, little over an hour of actual implementation work.

Audie is looking a little more... fox-coded than usual. Can't quite put my finger on why.

Did I just hand-write an implementation of #cpp23 std::expected for use in #cpp11 ? Very, very yes.
Is it complete? No. But it is functional enough.
Am I pleased with it? Also very yes!
Will I use it in #ProjectSpecialK? I dunno, maybe. We'll see.

Great, now I'm wondering if "NameableThing" and "Tickable" are adequately good class names

I have this foreboding feeling that the concept I have in mind on how to implement animation in #ProjectSpecialK is actually way off the mark and very likely to fail. Possibly horribly.
I actually feel like that about a lot if not most aspects yet to be implemented, to be honest...

The villager submission list for #ProjectSpecialK has about ninety-something characters in it. Nice! And it's not that hard to write data files for them.
Thing is, I'm not sure how to get *texture sets* for them all, even if it's only colors with flat normals and roughness.
(Suggest AI and die.)

Okay so I don't know how many people actually saw the circle-to-circle collision code that wasn't working (at least 2) but none of them notice I was checking against the *current* position instead of the *target*?
It's kinda discouraging.

Hmm...
1. Rip out the shitty player-wall collisions
2. Add character-character collisions instead (circle-circle)
3. Add proper char-wall as planned
4. Add char-model collisions (heightmaps and such)

Well, I finally did something with #ProjectSpecialK again. Even if it's just making it load only strings for the currently selected language.
It simplifies the text database a lot, but right now requires a restart to apply the changes.

Okay. So. #ProjectSpecialK issue. Conundrum, perhaps.
On the one hand, I can cast a ray down from just above the feet of a character to find the height of whatever polygon they're supposedly standing on. For a simple ground tile this can be simplified to just height = tile's elevation × 15

Clothes now reflect the wearer's pose.
Or well, at the time of writing only the top does. The bottoms don't yet. But that's now a single function call away.

Does anyone have any recommendations on PBR texture painting applications? Preferably with stuff like model import for previewing?
I've tried Substance 3D Painter but I find it lacking.
