iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

question to AI "artists": When you go to mcd and put your order in at the kiosk or service counter, do you also call yourself a "chef" for doing so?

bouncing back and forth between my game and openvt has been doing a lot for me in terms of understanding more of godot. I've been using it for a long time already, but there's whole areas I never really explored before, particularly with 3D, that have been fun to learn

Been making steady improvements to OpenVT, so let's go over most of the user facing recent changes from the past couple weeks! Plenty of additions to blueprints, as well as general usability tweaks 🧵

to anyone who ever decompiles my game, extracts the 3D models, then looks at the UV maps: I'm sorry. I am out here just not giving a fuck, moving UVs for each face individually, and reusing sections that look about right instead unwrapping things as they're shaped. I am not a trained 3d artist

damn Kate is surprisingly really functional. Full LSP and DAP support, and runs super slim. KDE apps have always hit or miss for me, but slowly they've been winning me over. I'd love to cut out VSC entirely, as it's one of the last vestiges of M$ in my life, save for my xbox. Here's hoping it sticks

A lot of work on my game this past week. I rebuilt the hub using trenchbroom, with props, lighting, and logic laid out in Godot. I also just split up character models over the past day so I can have a doll system, simplifying humanoids and allowing for character customization

trying my hardest to make a game with well defined character designs purely because I've never really had OCs before and it'll feel like I've finally made it as an artist if people make fan art of them 🥺

Ya know, for awhile I worried that I was stagnating in my career, that I was never going to go beyond senior level. But now I think about it, I really couldn't care less about putting myself through more hell and responsibility for a job that's wouldn't bother to do the same for me.

in the past I worked for a company made apps for google glass and hololens, which I knew were over hyped shit doomed to fail. So it especially makes me upset that now I look back longingly because at least it was a more fun and hopeful promise for the future than the pervert AI glasses we have today

not enough new games that try to tap into "retro" have ps1/ps2 sounding OSTs. We're so lost only locking onto NES and Genesis era chiptunes without proceeding beyond that. I need more games with funky tunes that stand tall alongside Ridge Racer or that have the charm of ToHeart2

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

public builds of openvt will be reenabled on itchio soon. CICD is currently set up and successfully creating artifacts on github that you can try now. It's been about a month since diving back into development. Lots of work has been put into improving UX in addition to the switch to Ayagami.

I need more cross culture food at American summer festivals. I'm sick of restaurants selling takoyaki for 15$ for 6 pieces near me, I want to go to a festival stall and get some for 1/3rd that price. Also I need them to make balls using funnel cake batter and Oreo filling.

I hope the new Rune Factory goes for more a 2.5D gameplay approach. The full 3D games in the series have always felt very rough or empty versus the 2D top down games to me. Something along the lines of the Atelier Marie remake would be perfect

I think it's so insanely stupid when companies obsess over shit like 99.99% uptime. Meanwhile MMOs with millions of users can just completely shut down their product for a multiple hour maintenance weekly and no one bats an eye.

fellow vtuber loving software engineers, please consider adding an anti-AI oshi clause to your OSS projects. For an artistic community built on human creativity, it's asinine and insulting to your oshi to not treat your code and problem solving also as an art that flourishes from your personal touch

I'm playing KH0.2 and once again SE fucking failed hard at making a readable UI. Why are they so bad at designing high resolution games. If I have to intentionally adjust my focus away from the center of the screen just to see how much HP I have in an action game, your UI is trash

finally back from offkai and otakon as of yesterday. I spent some downtime at ota with my laptop hacking away at OpenVT. Latest commits on main are now based on Ayagami, making progress towards zero proprietary dependencies. Other ext I maintain are being rebased or rewritten to latest godot rust.
