I'm shelving this experiment for now. 3d is too big of a rabbit hole even for me. I love re-inventing the wheel (that's how you get to know how wheels are made) but it was too many headaches. Also: deleting code feels SO much better than writing it. AND fck matrix math bsky.app/profile/smol...

"I used Claude to make.." -> "I asked Antopic to make me a.." "Using ChatGPT I did ..." -> "I asked openAi to.." You're not a maker. You're not even a user you're just a client.

stop saying “this looks like it was made by AI” or “was this written by chatgpt?!” when you don’t like something. devaluing human effort like that sucks. I don’t care if it’s bad cgi or a formulaic script. if it’s made by a human you show it some fucking respect and just say it’s dogshit.

Previously, I posted about how Yoshi's Island bosses are shaped dynamically from cones. It turns out there is a way to see this in-game. If the cartridge is pulled out during a boss battle (PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS), the boss will revert back into its true cone form.

Actually you know what, let me just

A still of the character Chihiro in the film “Spirited Away”. A character called No Face is offering her a pile of false gold that has been edited and overlayed with the logos of Claude, OpenAI and Grok. She is saying, “I don’t want any. I don’t need any.”

Okay this was much harder than I expected and I had to change a few categories (I don't play multiplayer games..). Also a few of these could have filled most of the grid by themselves ^^ bsky.app/profile/joni...

Just found this sick website - tools.rmv.fyi Lots of completely free tools - no logins, no registration, no data collection, just good ol' indie web! the way things were and can still be!! One of them is a colourblindness sim as shown in the video, why not test out a pic of your game?

Not a lot of visually interesting things going on atm (for now). Regardless, here's an update: every pixel on this gif was drawn through my own scripting language ! Re-writing nemo-lang with a stack vm is really paying off, integration is going SO smoothy this time ! #gamedev #programming

Long time no post ! I attempted the recent 7drl jam using my scripting language, and the compiler blew up in my face, so i decided to re-write the whole language. That's what I've been up to this past month... 🧵 ("alt": gif of how far i got in the jam project)
