oh gawd no wonder it's so much easier to reach a maxout in the pyramis rewrite. it's because the gdscript version was bugged to begin with and calculating it wrong

i'm bad at putting it into words so here's MOTHER Encore perfectly nailing the exact thing i want to do

i used to be mutuals with this one artist who drew cute critters like this all the time and i don't know where they are now but i hope they're doing well

my friend gifted me nitro but i forgot to check what kind of nitro it was before i made this so i don't actually get to use this as a profile picture. Oops

sometimes i post furry art and sometimes i post nine slice textures and neither my furry followers or my game dev followers end up winning

i'd never tried to chart anything before literally today so i hope this seems Interesting To Play at least

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 20/06/2026

for fun, i'm trying to make this as if it were meant to be an actual game asset. there's a white base texture, and a mask texture used for color. i'm like probably not actually going to use it for anything but i like practicing this stuff for fun!

oh god . they're approaching. oh god where did i put my plastic guitar oh my god

nothing to do with my point but thinking about guitar hero made me want to try making the Yummiest-looking Guitar Hero Note i could muster

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 18/06/2026

redoctane is making their own guitar hero called Stage Tour... it's awesome to see an attempt at a revitalization but as someone who adores guitar hero's visuals it's a bit of a shame to see that the stylization is comparatively bland... i kinda hope they reconsider the direction they're going in

got another maxout but it happened like... shockingly early into the game. to the point where it's really making me consider how to handle the speed curve

051

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 09/06/2026

anyway my main takeaway from the nintendo direct is that we're getting a third "splatoon font". get excited, folks-- this one's just as good as the first two

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 07/06/2026

don't you just love trying to do anything anymore

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 05/06/2026

pyramis refactor is nearly finished, and it's still possible to achieve a maxout in it (maxout is intended to be 99999999 points; rng and speed curve are different from the public version and still subject to change)

1181

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 04/06/2026

okay well that was a lot easier to implement than i expected. right now it's just a 9-bag (assuming you're playing with 3 colors) but maybe later i'll add support for bags with duplicates

090

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 04/06/2026

rng is "working" now but. this is what it looks like with the formula i'm using. it's just this first few blocks that're particularly egregious but i think it's enough to convince me that i should look into something like the tetris bag system

2100

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 04/06/2026

there's no rng or speedup yet, but i think it's fair to say that the pyramis C library is somewhere around 70% complete! there will still be more work to do in regards to getting it to talk to godot, but Foundationally things are turning out really good

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 03/06/2026

pyramid detection algorithm is working... this is easily the most annoying part to program but i have Two previous iterations that i'm free to use as a reference and copy verbatim so YAY!!!

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 03/06/2026

i've spent basically all day porting pyramis to C... i'm able to build both an SDL3 example project and a GDExtension using the same code. it's going pretty great!!

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 01/06/2026

i'm learning how to make a GDExtension... hrrngh i'm LEARNING.....

i don't usually go here but Oh What The Heck i'm feeling Festive. happy macro may everybody

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 28/05/2026

i like programming but i'm also not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed so i will strive to make my documentation as "for dummies" as possible for the sake of others like me

1260

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 27/05/2026

what do you MEAN it worked first try. computers aren't supposed to do that

2200

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 27/05/2026

it was, indeed, safe to delete

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 26/05/2026

i wanna work on pyramis again... sorry i haven't updated it in a while... had an idea for a new mode

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 20/05/2026

my windows partition is just fine, and even though grub is being screwy, i can get into windows from the uefi menu... there's nothing to REALLY worry about, but i sure am annoyed...

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 20/05/2026

i use linux for two days in a row and windows goes "fine, BE that way" and removes itself as a boot option

trying out someone else's watercolor grease pencil brush (it's nice to finally be drawing again!)

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 16/05/2026

another brush test before bed... i think that, for blender grease pencil at least, it looks surprisingly natural

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 15/05/2026

in older versions of blender's compositor it was really easy to just get a vertical or diagonal thing with the stuff that was already built-in... does anyone know how you're supposed to do it Now... because i sure don't

i think one of the cutest things a character can do is have what i like to describe as "mega man limbs"

i've actually been working on vfx for my own air ride-inspired game and have been taking a lot of inspiration it, as well as the advice on sakurai's youtube channel!! i'm also just as huge a fan of the dreamcasty look you're going for and can do that style too! i'd love to work on star garden :)

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 29/04/2026

i wish i could show this in 60 fps, but i have some vfx related Thoughts i'd like to share

0263

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 28/04/2026

updated my particle shader to allow for alpha clip-esque effects like these without actually using alpha clipping

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 25/04/2026

nate and arcade have already basically said what i think, so just Tangentially Related Thing: if you shade paws kinda like weird metallic ball things... ...i dunno if it's realistic, but i think it looks really cool!!!

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 23/04/2026

turns out that the order you do stuff in matters, oops!

SODABYTES @sodabytes.com · 23/04/2026

as far as i can tell!
