cleaning files rn so figured I'd grab this data cause it's interesting to me. XIV game folder file sizes from 2.X to 7.X

A chart showing FFXIV game version compared to file size.

6 game versions are present as series: 2.X, 3.X, 4.X, 5.X, 6.X, and 7.X, connecting subsequent game versions across said series.

2.X: the earliest copy shows as 2.0 beta 2, at barely 8GB. 2.X ends at 2.3 at around 12GB.
3.X: the only copy present is 3.0, at around 17GB.
4.X: 3 copies, starting at 4.06 at 31GB, and ending at 4.56 at almost 40GB. There is a large jump from 4.06 to 4.55 (~7GB)
5.X: 5.0 at 46GB, ending with 5.58 at 58GB. This series contains 29 items, showing 5 clear clusters at similar file sizes, indicating hotfixes.
6.X: 6.0 at 68GB, ending with 6.58 hotfix 2 at 82GB. This series contains 26 items with a similar pattern as 5.X.
7.X: 7.0 at 104GB, ending with 7.55 at 129GB. This series contains 38 items with a similar pattern as 5.X.

completed my implementation of expression sliders as best as I could before I'm away for the weekend, now handed to the rest of the team pending testing and polish. hopefully it should be back soon! <3

I want people to be more aware of Ktisis' new features like the Lights, Speech bubbles, and World Object Overlay (or WOO as i call it) so lets start with the lights. Lights now have Textures. These apply to Spot and Area lights. you can even change their color. (1/13)

Little test with Ktisis' UI thang. I like that you can move it around, and also that there's a center button. #VlinStuff

Commission for @kivallier.bsky.social! He's here to break some hearts 🌹 Thank you very much again for commissioning me :3

An Elezen man sits confidently on a bar-stool in the middle of a very out-of-focus saloon lit in moody warm tones. He wears neat clothing with a dark-green vest over a white dress shirt with a ruffled collar, and has one gilded boot planted on the floor, with the other raised up to rest on one of the stool's supporting metal rods. In his hand is a large silver revolver, and held between his grinning white teeth is a rose. In the bottom right corner of the image is a watermark; a bunny icon with the text kaj.blue below it

made more progress today and started addressing the pitfalls mentioned in my last post! expressions can now be mixed with edits made by the user and should apply additively with other sliders, just needs further testing

Quick render of oomf 🔮

A Miqo'te with short hair, an eye patch, a big hat and a dress, all of which are purple (everything about her is, really), is holding a book in front of her in one hand. She's looking away from it at the moment, toward the camera, with a slightly displeased expression. On the underside of her wide brimmed hat shine stars as if it's a window to the night sky. Behind her, an alchemical workshop of sorts can be seen, though it is very out of focus. In the bottom right is a watermark: an icon of a bunny with the text kaj.blue under it.

yesterday I resubbed to ffxiv specifically to help rebuild the expression slider feature from scratch as I had planned when I first prototyped it in 2024, here's a progress update I shared showing roughly 8 hours of work with breaks

with regards to the prior Ktisis announcement: I'll be candid and say that I was unaware of the usage of Claude in concepting the implementation of the expression sliders/FACS feature, but I do take responsibility for it as the person responsible for overseeing the hand-off.

My Lizard needed a portrait #ffxivart #blender

Oyugun Mol, a blue-skinned Au Ra with short horns, stands in a blue tunic with brass shoulder-pads. She's turning her upper body to look at the camera with a grin. Both hands hold daggers backwards, one somewhat up toward the camera and the other relaxed behind her body. A wide white ribbon flows around her. At the bottom of the image in the white frame surrounding the image it says "KAJ.BLUE" in light-gray text.

It is funny though (I'm saying this with disgust) that we had Dalamud and Plugin integration along with modding in this game for what will be a decade soon, but just now, in the timeline where generating shit out of your ass is at an all time high, suddenly everyone is a "plugin dev". Alright. 😃

I'm happy about cross-DC df getting added but I really think they're solving the wrong problem with it lol it's bizarre to me to split regions into multiple DCs each, especially considering they're in the same physical location, I wish they'd find a way to combine them all into one DC per region

Shipping programmable background blur for ImGui in Dalamud this week! It's controllable via a slider in the style editor, and has controls for grain noise, tint and luminosity adjustment (though those are not exposed yet, only for other devs)
