hi friends I'm very excited to announce Halfspace, my experimental cross-platform IDE for solid modeling with distance fields! This has been in progress since midway through last year, and it's finally "done enough" to make it more public.

Amnesia Fortnight 2026 is closing out, and the 4 game demos are up for public evaluation! They're all so different. You really have to play them to understand. Contribute $15 at dfaf2026.com and you'll get them all for your PC! And voting power for which one gets turned into a bigger thing.

I was born and raised in Saxony Anhalt; the German state in which 44% of the people voted for the right-wing extremist party AfD yesterday. Needless to say that I'm sad, disappointed and in fact angered by this development. To make things worse other German states are projected to follow suit. :(

Inspired by @mmalex.bsky.social's dots experiments recently, tried to do some kind of "particle DOF" in the fluff renderer, effectively blowing out every particle's microparticles which gives a kind of uncanny effect that also melts my GPU with overdraw.

I drew that sign as temp art, assuming a real artist would replace it. I think they left it in to punish me. Look, it’s not easy to draw a cursive F with a mouse in Enhanced Deluxe Paint II.

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.
