Love when system architects have a sense of humor

I finally picked up a reusable sticker album, so I can display all the vinyl stickers I’ve bucked up over the years, and still have the option to stick them on something else.

Some vinyl stickers depocting red pandas

Just bought the class A thrusters for this thing and I'm living on the edge (look at my credit balance vs. the insurance cost)

Playing real life dressmaker (I drafted a leggings block to see how much fabric I would need)

Well that’s one seam done out of… lots. I’m regretting doing this piecemeal but also I’m glad to finally be using this fabric.

“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that” and “‘My god, it’s full of stars!” are a bit obvious so I’ll also drop a “Do you read Sutter Cane?” in there too

I love going to the Mediterranean market

Oh I did have most of the launch center built already (though, I want to make it modular buildings and spline roads...)

OK the sunset darkening works now, I'm liking this shader a lot more than my old one

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 13/09/2026

The ground mesh color doesn't quite match the planet mesh color, for reasons that elude me, but it looks fine at ground level

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 13/09/2026

Well, surface bases are coming along - I'm trying out a new atmospheric shader and figuring out how I'm gonna do day-night cycles with it

Wellllllll I finally figured out what was up with my shadows (the shadow caster was getting frustum culled) so now I can do eclipse shadows!

Obviously not a dragon, but I think it passes the screen test :)

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 23/08/2026

Sound and music! It's buggy and some sounds just don't play, but it's in there :) I'll have to dig deeper to fix all the oddities

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 23/08/2026

I’m well on the way to getting music in game

I got the grid background working- still some visual stuff to clean up. I haven’t set up sprite flipping with the new renderer yet, but I have a plan for that Need to finish the remaining drawing functions for text, and gunfire out the gradient background…

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 19/08/2026

Well I've fixed the worst graphical bugs, getting some performance issues now though I am pretty sure I know how to fix them. I will hopefully put the source code up soon, I don't know if it's polite to just fork it though!

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 18/08/2026

Input is done I think?? We’re in game now, ignore the junk I still have lots of work to do on the graphics

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 16/08/2026

Oh if I rotate the view matrix instead of the tiles I can do it all in one transform. That should work!

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 16/08/2026

Well! I actually took a big detour into 3D mode... now it has flipped tiles and hardware scaling!

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 15/08/2026

And yes it does also work on real hardware

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 15/08/2026

It's starting to look pretty good! Some issues though, I'm doing something wrong with the palettes because the incoming/ghost tiles won't show and the colors get real messed up sometimes

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 13/08/2026

It worked! Tiles in video memory up top, composed sprite below

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 12/08/2026

Well it's starting to look like something (I'm bad at math)

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 11/08/2026

I haven't worked out the tile graphics yet (very complicated) but I've got the game loop actually running now

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 10/08/2026

Finally got indexed color working, unfortunately the PSP does not like texture widths smaller than 16 bytes which means I will have to figure out a way to pack the 4-byte tiles into larger chunks my SD-to-Memory Stick adapter is starting to come apart so emulator only for now

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 09/08/2026

Ok I remembered how to read 4bpp graphics a little

Success! This animation is being driven by the title screen function.

Silver Candycorn 💛🧡🤍 @silveralicorn.online · 08/08/2026

Jank solved! Remember to write back your data cache before rendering the frame. We can do large tiled background layers now!
