made some of my music theory diagrams more dynamic and public. had made these in 2025 statically to help clear up the fretboard for me and i found them very useful. now i can click on them. available here jartanddesign.com/music-theory #ascii #musictheory #guitar

lights! they are a little bright right now, but are working, realtime and mostly performant. think im polishing up the camera next so that things can feel more 3d. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

mole roll time! doing sprite sheets is interesting because i just want to add more and more states but it quite literally becomes exponentially more sprites to make sometimes. made a few sheets this week and blocked in traversal. t: #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames

im making a new game, its called mole in the wall and i just figured out a sprite system for it. 6 faces, 4 rotations off each face, 24 sprites per cell total, all sized to the thaum-mono typeface ive been painting text in #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

experimenting with adding more in depth 3d data to cells within the thaum-renderer, now they can face things! the vertical sticks are the letterforms "│", "━", and "•" that route depending on camera view direction + camera roll. #ascii #pixelart #indiedev

i didn't like blender's ui customization, so i made mine nicer. i really like being able to customize the tools i work with, and many of the artists around me do too. it helps me keep immersed when im working, something i enjoy doing in brand heavy work. #design #ascii #indiedev

✦✧✩ did you know you can cover emojis in typefaces and then apps might support them? pretty neat! #typography #ascii #pixelart #indiedev

im building this animation tool next in this text painter im making, and came across animation like behavior while tweaking my 3d painter settings. now that im a little more seasoned i totally understand the term "digital 4d" #indiedev #animation #ascii

i was working on some ui sketches early this morning to replace some of the modules in my text painter. here's some footage of me hashing out a cleaner version of the "tool properties" module, and a peek at the working module as its predecessor. #ascii #pixelart #indiedev

Built out a fire shader for my noisy blender stuffs. Mixing texture scrolling and animated loops might be my new favorite thing to do. #blender3d #animation #WAN
