iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

No constraints, just one-body-per-bone/fragment defined on a PhysicsAsset. It's helpful because, e.g., I can use ragdoll body<>body collision filtering to let the debris collide with the enviro but not each-other (plus they still render as just-one-mesh).

"Rigging Is My Passion" lol

Screenshot from blender of how densely-packed all the joints were to articulate this model.

(also, the more I Keep Things Simple and less unreal-specific the more opportunity I have to jump-ship if Epic Games continues with their 3rd-party-indie-hostile trajectory)

When I upgraded from UE4->5 all my asteroids broke because they were using the now-removed destructible meshes. After playing with Dataflow a bit, I decided to just bake-out debris to skeletal meshes and use generic "ragdoll" physics because I want to keep everything lightweight.

Integration test of the P3 model. Animation handling is easier since this character has no "locomotion" just one timeline I scrub based drift/thrust and a barrel roll. That's a wrap on art for a while, going back to coding for a few weeks. #ScreenshotSaturday ♫ Surfboard (Walter Wanderley) ♫

Beating Karnov meant I had to go back to Osman to remind myself the true heights that a real weirdo action platformer could ascend to. This whole sequence still slaps

Now I'm actually hearing "tough" spoken correctly. This is a sonic hall of mirrors.

Max! @littlepolygon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I've listened to this an embarrassing number of times today, and my current theory is that they're actually trying to pronounce the "g" it "tough." "Tog boy tog boy tog boy tog boy."

Even when I'm solving the "same problem" there's also platform-improvements, team-composition-changes, etc, which suggest there might be better solutions, plus it's always good to challenge yourself to find your own improvements anyway, from a craft perspective.

Wild how much of commodity-engine-gamedev (Unity, Unreal, etc) "best practices" boil down to "we did hinky workaround X on an old project and now insist on perpetuating it forever."

Is it how "CIA knowingly overstated soviet military capacity during the cold war" on all spec sheets the designers used, so now the Russians are OP in game?

"Living' in the Nineties" am I right that they mean living on the edge "at 90 miles per hour" (like Initial D "Running in the 90s"), and not in the decade of the 90s?

0:52 j/k we changed our mind, and will now be starting a completely new OP

"We need a tomboy, tomboy, tomboy, tomboy"...

I nixed the big gun on the bottom because (i) I need to be able to aim above in-game, and (ii) this character is supposed to emphasize speed, not firepower.

(Any excuse to recommend Locas): what's that, you haven't read Jaime Hernandez's masterpiece, Locas?

Max! @littlepolygon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Hopefully not a superficial comparison, but it reminded me of Jaime Hernandez's Locas, what with the themes of 80s music scenes, latchkey children of socal immigrants, absentee parents, and becoming reflective with middle-age.

Cover from an issue of Locas (Issue listed #1 -- a reprint? -- circa 1984/85, Jaime Hernandez).

The presumed politics of some subjects (if you know anything about the OC) is conspicuously absent, but probably enhances the film overall since learning who's MAGA would probably obscure rather than clarify their portraits.

Our TV Club this week watched NEW WAVE (2024) youtu.be/mn0rHONCKtE?... Friendo pointed out this was probably made at the "perfect time" to capture this particular community before everyone's too old to tell the story, and the wealth of archival footage was a rich vein for the filmmakers.

My process for designing a jet/space-fighter/etc: (1) fuck around with a sketchbook until I have enough to start fucking around in blender (2) get stuck unable to rationalize the shapes (3) slowly reinvent the idea of a "fuselage" from first principles.
