i think this is kinda not exactly true, its more like corporations struggling to cover liability, which is caused by a reactionary project by politicians and their constituents

Software engineers don't need engineering demands like legal constraints and certifications, we need priestly demands like ritual purity and mandatory contemplation.

Refactoring #HelloTerrain (hello-terrain.kenny.wtf) so you can create arbitrary topologies. Here's a torus-world example. I can't wait to try out a planet-scale example of this with atmospheric scattering! #theejs #r3f

audible sucks because you can only get very bad voice actors for the audio books that are region locked. the good name of the wind narrator is barred from you. I feel sad for the the Americans who dont know the good audiobook version

I've implemented better fog (atmospheric perspective) in my shaders, so distance fades not just towards a single color (like classic fog), but a color which itself gets paler with distance. This adds so much depth to distant parts of the view and I feel it makes the landscape "breathe". #GameDev

This is amazing. First page of how to build worlds. "Games don't need REALISM with unnecessary details! That's just excessive. No, something simpler will suffice. Here we model air currents as they flow around a planet at various degrees from the equator..." 🥰 #worldbuilding #procgen

Currently trying to figure out how to do some medieval land use simulation, but I'm having trouble thinking about the "substrate" or like basic node primitives are. Perhaps subdividing voronoi?

Ok I'm pretty sure I have something I can make a first implementation of, which supports the following: new_entity = spawn(humanoid, goblin, leader, mountainous) No paths, no resources, just tags for spawning a totally custom procgenned data driven entity with awesome design salt-bae control.

in our world, in many ways "tech" companies are actually anti-technology. they're more interested in austerity, devaluing labor, squeezing more surveillance out of existing systems. consumer available tech is only dubiously increasing. moore's law died.

I changed the backend of #HelloTerrain to use a texture atlas instead of a flat buffer, hopefully that will make it easier to interpolate between values, because I want to start putting trees and stuff on these terrains! #threejs #r3f #webgpu hello-terrain.kenny.wtf/docs/core/el...

Updated the hello-terrain library to alpha.5. Now you can provide an elevation function using #threejs's #TSL to create procedural terrains or consume heightmaps (or both). ⛰️ hello-terrain.kenny.wtf/blog/posts/e...

I've got the heightmaps + normalmaps generating smoothly now, both implemented as extensible little worklets. I love it when a plan comes together~ It's cool to see that uniforms and parameters update and see the effects in real time #threejs #webgpu

I'm excited about terrain generation mainly because there's not nearly enough fantastic world types out there! Here's an early experiment with a hollow-earth topology. I'm looking forward to fill this with fantastical atmospherics to see how it would look. #threejs #procgen

Here’s an export of my big tab group of indie font foundries. If I need a font and can pay a few eurobucks for it, I look here. Far wider range of expression than you’ll find on Google Fonts. Licenses are still annoying, but some have begun to adopt better ones. (See thread for links)
