You should probably pull some of the verts on the lens forward a bit. Glasses lenses are usually slightly curved, a sort of ) shape to them.

It is an improvement. I do think the pop up UI design still is a bit clunky, but it's at least way faster than it was before. I gotta get back to playing the demo, maybe after you put your UI update up. I was JUST at the edge of the programmy bits where you had the logic going in.

Maybe a hybrid interface? All the options on the left, click them and they populate to the next available space. Use drag/drop for editing, to replace already loaded commands. So that way I can just go to the toolbar on the left, click down, down, down, right, down, And it loads them in order.

I think the beginning tutorial is a bit too hand-holdy. I think you can possibly remove some steps there and people will figure things out a bit. I do wish the UI for adding instructions were faster. I wish I could just drag/drop from available rather than having to click, click, click through it.

Back when Aotearoa New Zealand was voting via referendum on whether or not to ditch First Past the Post for Mixed Member Proportional for our voting system, the cartoonist Murray Ball put out the below comic. I see those telling New Yorkers not to vote for Zohran Mamdani and think on this comic.

A big part of it is that they optimized the joy out of it. So many modern games from big studios rely on grindy mechanics and microtransactions. Every step is just higher costs for more profit. But they got what they wanted. They got their loot. Now they can screw people and move on.

I've had an idea to modify an Astro Docs template to work as a DnD/TTRPG World Template. I think it only needs an actual small nudge to do it. I think an ideal template would have multiple doc pages for different segments, to be better organized. I think it could be reasonable to build.

I've had an idea for where my site/writing might go next. My course/tutorial series has covered how to deploy a specific Astro template and some of the basics about modifying it. What if I did another course/series, but modifying a different template? #webdev #development

Not talented, I'm awful at this compared to others. I've just been at it long enough to make stuff work well-enough for my purposes. And nah, you won't bug me too much. I figure most of the bare-bones necessities are there and any tweaks you need should be pretty easy.

No problem! Let me know if you need any help or tweaks with it. I didn't touch CSS, I figure you have some of your CSS already. The general guide stuff on my site too should be enough to get you up and running with this too.

I like it. It's got a fair bit of personality to it. You might maybe get a little more of a shocked expression on the orange one with a lattice deform to make the eyes bigger, but that might also be too toony.

Now that place is a dream job studio. I loved BG3 so much (haven't beaten it yet, I'm getting there). You've got a lot of story ahead (and maybe a little carpal tunnel if the next script is as big as BG3's).

I think at this point, damn near all downloads work like that with the major platforms. The download is only an option because it saves Amazon bandwidth. They give up none of their control.

Take a look at Astro and the Astrogon template. It's a static site generator, it's easier than coding from scratch and it can be really easy to add a lot of pages/material. astrogon.reednel.com Look in the docs pages. I also have a beginner friendly guide series I'm working on.
