oh god I should be using storage buffers for instanced transform. holy shit I was so stupid, I was splitting InstanceRenderers into multiple draws if their transform buffers exceeded maximum uniform buffer range. I need to make my shader system generate more variants. I need to streamline that

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

hhmmm, I think this weekend I should finally add compute shaders to Kitsune Engine. I've never written or invoked a compute shader outside of Unity before, I don't know what to expect, I can foresee hours of fucking with Vulkan synchronization

It's always disappointing encountering so called "interpolation fans" and upon closer inspection you realize they don't even know what a sine function is.. I fucking hate lerpers man

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I fucking HATE aether ridge, but I think that would be a neat way to incorporate it into the game. The mod version of Aether Ridge *does* connect to Sky Islands

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

A genuine theory i had about the Rain World announcement was that they were gonna add Aether Ridge in its entirety as a vanilla high-difficulty bridge from Sky Islands to Outer Expanse to make the happy ending not require dlc and beating gourmand campaign. The post showed Survivor and mentioned home

Rain World and Breaking Bad are the only pieces of media with endings that can consistently make tears well up in my eyes. I know Waltuh really isn't the good guy, but the calmness of his death is kind of beautiful, the needledrop goes hard as fuck.

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Maybe a hot take; but I really wouldn't mind more of the same. Something more along the lines of survivor campaign but in a different setting, and a new story is all I'd like from a sequel. No special powers, no main character syndrome, just let me be a part of the ecosystem again.

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

The original game had a dev time of like 5 or 6 years I believe, and Downpour also had a long development cycle. Watcher on the other hand had to be released in 2 parts which is REALLY not comforting..

000

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

honestly same, as much as I am excited to see what's next; I know in my heart that Rain World should end while it's at its peak. I trust the dev team to make something great again, but I worry they won't be given enough time by Akupara.

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I also only need to clear the buffer by (currentCamRes.x + 1, currentCamRes.y + 1), I should try and remember not to clear the whole thing.

010

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

the reason I am clearing the blit buffer is because the buffer itself is as big as the largest camera's resolution, and all cameras share the same buffer (saves on vram big time). problem is; if I don't clear the buffer to black; the edge pixels are able to interpolate the previous camera's image

Met up with a friend I hadn't seen in 6 years. I was afraid we'd have definitely grown apart but it was like nothing changed. It's a shame he lives so far away because it may have been the best day of my adult life.

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Even though my fear has been disproven, I still feel like giving up. emotions are not binary, they're chemical, they linger past the point they stop making sense. I wish I could talk this through with the only person it'd help to talk about it with, but I feel like I really can't.

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I have PTSD from a relationship many years ago, I could feel the same events unfolding with someone else, and I preemptively gave up and prepared for the worst. This has undoubtedly hurt our relationship, and I'm not sure by how much.

110

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I kind of want to just go no contact from everyone for a very long time, but I don't think it would be fair to anyone so I won't do it. I feel helpless, and I don't think there's anyone I'd feel comfortable talking to about it. what does one even do in such a scenario?

110

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I had the most stressful week imaginable and I don't think I'll be getting closure. My worrying only caused consequences, and I don't know how to deal with the situation. I don't think I'll be fine, but as long as I larp as fine I should be able to get through the day.

if I keep this up, most of my line count will be commented out (writing a wrapper around Vulkan)

000

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I never encountered this issue before because render resolution was taken from the swapchain itself and I just changed it to render at the camera's resolution instead. The bug always existed, just only as an incorrect resolution reading from the camera until now.

010

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

the camera swapchain desync is not intended, but it revealed the real issue to me. I need to keep way better track of the states of resources, and doing it manually is way too easy to mess up.

110

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

ran into an issue where if I resize my window; my camera resolution will desync from swapchain resolution for a frame, causing it to need to blit, which will use the blit buffer unexpectedly and the renderpass will change its image layout.

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

it turns out, raw vulkan is insanely horrible to work with in an engine that keeps getting more and more complex. I am not going to stop using Vulkan, I'm going to start writing way more wrappers around it. classes that bookkeep more about the states of things, and streamline the process.

there's a very very small chance I photoshopped the image that inspired this photo to be taken, but I can't prove it.

if you're therian and love the rain, I may have an insane game recommendation

do you know of the pinching the nose trick to cancel a sneeze? You just block airflow out of your nose (as you feel it coming, don't do this once you've committed to sneezing as it'll probably hurt like hell)

The Watcher is bs. I can have karma flower and ripple warp still has a chance to send me to salination. I'm not replaying it, I just still have salination terrors.

This will be DLSS6, the entire frame is generated by 30 prompts per second

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

it's annoying as hell. Like I get it, API maintenance isn't free, but they could have at least gone with their old approach of taking a 40% cut of all OpenGL game sales.

110

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

the softened mode is not accurate to ingame. the game uses a much higher quality upscale filter, that I'll need to replicate in a shader, I can't just let hardware do it.

010

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I should work on this program some more. I'd like to make it more accurate. ignore the Activate Vulkan watermark, this is the only screenshot i have on hand.

They did?? Might have to play again. For the first time in 5 years.

I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but just in case: set your steam launch command for Rain World to 'WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%'

we probably take it for granted that: 1. photons bounce 2. everything is being bombarded with them constantly by a practically-infinite photon generator. 3. photons carry properties other than merely existing in a place at a time.

Sand Fox @sneedfocks.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

vision is such a cool sense if you consider that the way we see things is not at all accurate to how they truly are. colors don't exist, you're just graphing the frequencies and amplitudes of photons and interpreting them in a hyper-optimized way.
