We got out of MiWuLa so late that trains weren't running anymore, so I decided to walk back home... Glad I did, because I got to see this cool fella—first time I've seen an owl, in Hamburg!

The past couple of days, I worked on adding face tracking blendshapes to my avatar—polishing all 50 of them is going to be an on-going hassle, but I am quite happy with how it works, already! (Recorded without sound 🔇)

The game friends and I put together, for #FurryGameJam 2: "Off Course, Of Course!" manikobunneh.itch.io/off-course-o... Great job, @manikobunneh.bsky.social, @stampydragon.bsky.social, @ktqtpi.bsky.social, Mahmu-Kai, and Hoop! Also check out the other awesome entries! :D itch.io/jam/furries/...

Going through the "game audio collection" on Humble Bundle... Actually, I think I'll keep my money.

AI-generated thumbnail for a music pack called "Protest & Power Anthems". It shows a black protester with a mask that reads "CAN'T BRIANE". Another AI-garbled signed in the background reads "PRESISM".

Had an amazing time at Furality—huge thanks to everyone who put together the event! Also, thanks to everyone who hung out or said hi! 💜 ...for next year, I won't forget to apply for a dealer's den booth. Again. I promise.

Finally finished my outfit for Furality Ultra! ...really, it's just a VRC outfit I've been wanting to make for ages—textured to fit the con's theme. So, I am really happy to finally have it!

High-poly model of the outfit I am working on, for my avatar... The baking step is going to be bad enough—however, I really don't envy future me who'll have to try and weight paint this.

Dare Looks @darelooks.dev · 27/04/2026

Experimented a bunch with different approaches for the eyes—and really like the look! No alpha transparency, reflections, or fancy shader stuff; just a bunch of meshes, some of which have flipped faces. ...That's going to be the first upgrade I make to my own avatar, sometime soon, hah.

Phew, this has been my first bigger Blender project, in quite a while. Finished VRC avatar model, blend shapes, etc. for @manikobunneh.bsky.social! 🎉

I've been overwhelmed with work, lately, but I am slowly chipping away at a custom avatar, for @manikobunneh.bsky.social! Haven't done a character model from scratch, in a while, so I am really happy with how this is turning out!

Dare Looks @darelooks.dev · 23/03/2026

Added some very rough block-out models to my hub level, just to have something there, already—I like how it already gives a bit of an idea of the place! (I want to concentrate more on mechanics, again, so chances are there'll be more untextured models and placeholders, in the near future, heh.)

Oh, surprise mail from Valve—didn't expect Pawperty to still get a Steam Deck compatibility check... better late than never! (Close miss for "Verified", too, because the small text problem seems to only refer to the in-game achievements menu, which is anything but vital for gameplay, heh.)

Pawperty Damage has been reviewed for Steam Deck compatibility.
Deck Compatibility status: Playable.
As a finding it states, "some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read."

Back from IG Jam 16, a 48h on-site game jam: The theme was "flip the rules" and our game was a twist on pinball! We were a team of three—I did half of the coding as well as any last-minute 3D modeling, hah. (The other coder was Maniko and all 2D art is by Hoop!) #godotengine
