#y2roll

playing around with some gaudy compositing

i like the results but not sure where I'd even use this. also looks way less "intelligent jungle mix vol. 2" which is the goal

#blender3d

finished up org-publish blog engine workflow (+ RSS!), and fittingly wrote a blog post about it

:emacs: managed to script going over all my film review roam nodes for the year and producing an output doc, so planning on uploading that somewhere more permanent than here on new years eve

Y2ROLL BETA IS LIVE

🎮 🛠️ 🧵 32Bit Summer Games 2024 Jam thread

https://itch.io/jam/32bit-summer-games-2024

using this as a vehicle for trying out adding 3D to the interactive hot-reload-friendly fennel+love2D workflow I used for https://menacingmecha.itch.io/katacoma

have the concept all ready, and if I really want, I always have the escape door of throwing it together in Godot, but would like to do this all in love

spent yesterday experimenting with the g3d lib in the https://github.com/groverburger/g3d_fps demo

while it works for very simple purposes when you use it exactly how it expects to be used, anything causes it to instantly explode

having trouble applying a transform to the camera (api is different from meshes, for some reason), for me that is both a deal breaker and a giant red flag if I can't just make a matrix and multiply it against another matrix

gonna explore more libs, but for now, this is fallback A

finally

using https://github.com/3dreamengine/3DreamEngine

time to actually start putting the project together come monday

new fun and exciting road block:

I don't know how to turn off all the PBR gubbins without random unrelated things breaking

might have to swing this into just writing a simple 3D library if I can't get a handle on things tomorrow

right, here me out

right

what if I just rotated the canvas instead?

🎬 watched Killer Workout (1987

Wow. Did not expect this to be as big of a hit as it was. Absolutely brought the house down. Near constant stream of laughs.

Slasher where, for some reason, a safety pin is used as the murder weapon. This thing is treated like a hatchet. It's penetrating skulls at points. This is a GMod cheat weapon. More like unsafety pin. Danger pin. Fuck.

something came up and I now own a 2003 ford focus

🎬 watched National Treasure (2004)

No clue what to make of this one. The first like third of this is xXx (2002) levels of off-the-wall unintentionally funny action schlock. After this, we slow down a little, chugging along at a leisurely pace.

"Nic Cage stealing the one piece of american history entirely on a hunch that there's a secret treasure map on it and just cuts about the street with it in a bright red case" is a premise only 2004 could bring you.

@technomancy cheers, I'll check it out!

was initially scared off by this one with how much stuff was in it vs the one I've been using

Exploring #love2d with #fennel in #emacs for hot-reloading #lisp #gamedev

Had some issues where the REPL wasn't working with trying to evaluate multi-line expressions, but nothing a bit of elisp to quickly remove all line breaks in the selected region can't fix!

base project this is extended from: https://git.sr.ht/~benthor/absolutely-minimal-love2d-fennel
