I have plans that I cannot share with you right now because the haters will sabotage me.

small UI piece of a larger system. player won't see this but it resizes based on the largest word so it's easier for us to drag and drop them

trying to get the tutorial right since we will (hopefully) reach more players this time, + the main mechanics are more complex now. starting it a little early bc it is the biggest writing challenge (balancing ‘poetic’ narrative voice with wordy tutorial voice; making narrative sense without boring)

older clip with some interactable stuff. the script is more or less drag and drop, but i’ll probably use this sparingly (for meaningful interactions)

in the original game i didn’t have the time/skill to make this piano work well. it’s a little confusing at first but the note highlighting goes a long way i also just wanted a chord display really bad because those are cool

i discovered this bath house scene was tanking my frames because of the way i'd made the mirrors. now you can turn the taps/showers on but i don't have a current recording of this area lol

proper TV3 updates thread (limited to stuff i've personally made; the others have made lots too!) i think i'd like this shrine to have a little dark souls player-to-player message system. it's a bit of an afterthought though, so i bet a better use for it will arise as we continue.

i have switched to using a 2012 macbook pro full time so that i can always be testing the worst possible hardware. my main computer is a nervous horse, so despite all of the ostensible hardware gains it still fucks up at a genuinely unacceptable rate. the mbp has been great & gets full frames!

🫶 using audio bus effects from scripts is a bit obtuse still, but if you ever want to make a similar audio states system, here’s how i did mine

forgot to post this here too. kind of splitting time between writing and sequencing the story and doing the less fun programming stuff so i don't go insane. second map here is @kernelfusion.bsky.social 's lovely village.

Some as-yet less visually impressive/rough draft systems.. keys and doors, inventory and cutscene triggers, etc etc featuring the dreaded godot selection box i haven't fixed on the tab organizer yet since switching to 4.6

re:github/godot i broke this scene last night and it took 2 hours to get it back lol

before/after a very simple shader pre-compiler i made to fix the horrendous shader comp slowdown in godot 4.2. the scene's material textures are all under 100kb, but since there are 200+ of them, it still caused quite a lot of slowdown.

got impatient with programming and started lighting my scene/staging screenshots. i was very worried everything would get crunched by the low resolution, but selective texture filtering is paying off :)

this interaction kind of highlights another aspect of my issue with “vibe coding”. it engenders a fundamental incuriosity with the systems and concepts you’re working with. everything here, down to the hilarious flavor text, betrays the exact inverse of the ‘good software’ i mentioned.

probably my most listened to album of the past couple years. i missed an opportunity to grab a CD copy when i worked at a record store. strong and inventive all the way through, which isn’t out of the ordinary for takahashi, but still feels particularly true here. very special to me.
