marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Echelon-Mo... This Modular Dungeon Building Set comes with tons of items that will allow you to build your own dungeon from scratch, or use the prefab dungeon included and build off of that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jap... maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/H...

Just follow along with random tutorials and make something basic like a knife or a simple sword. That was the first thing I ever made.

I don't have any of the specific ones I used from way back, but if you just search Blender Basics in YT and just learn how the various basic functions work, that is your best way to start. Once you know how to actually use the program it makes things easier. www.youtube.com/results?sear...

A lot of the tutorials I see online are for doing really high poly renders.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
This is if you want a game ready asset and not some super high detail art render.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
This is an extremely rough and quick concept of the process that doesn't include how it would be rendered in a game engine to include an alpha background so it looks like grass, but basically you make a plane, add a grass texture, add some geometry if you want it to have some shape, and randomize.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
I'll record a little clip of how I might do something like that.

They just keep raising the bar over and over like any consumer cares about any of the latest tech. We don't need hyper realistic games. We just want fun games.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
It seems more like a lot of companies have been complaining more that development costs have been too high and that is why they have been canning so many games and studios. Which is absurd because some of the best games ever made could be pumped out pretty fast with a current day studio.

Wake up bro, a new MMO dropped (coming soon): youtu.be/MK3CPyRUhrE?... #Helrift. Kinda looks like Dreadmyst but probably plays a lot different with faction PVP and stuff.

My last couple games I never finished because they were so boring. Moon/Sword. And then they started making games that just look bad. Now that they finally got back to making pretty games, we'll see if they can deliver on the gameplay / story. Cautiously optimistic.

I totally agree. I was just responding to Cherrim on someone making an argument that they should stop making games because there is no kids playing it.
000
Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
Nah I was saying that adults are the ones funding the Pokemon Company, so they don't need to market towards kids only. People saying that it needs to be for kids don't understand how ravenous adults are to get their next nostalgia fix.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
There's like no one else covering this. Doesn't seem like thay did much to market this new update.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
Most children don't have money. But adults with an addiction for chasing nostalgia sure do. Such a silly argument. Haha.

As for Windows 10 laptops, your best bet is to find a refurbished one. New ones usually come with Wiindows 11.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
Yeah, you probably won't find a modern laptop that has a CD drive. The reason for this is because they all need room for GPUs and the fans to cool them now. You can still buy a small external CD drive that plugs into it though. they are very cheap.

If anyone does something with this game, it would likely be some company with a ton of investor money that will just want to milk it for a return on whatever they buy it for. But on the off chance someone that buys it with the intention to make it better, that would be nice. Just rare these days.

Vai @vairen.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
BRUH- I have been waiting generations for #Pokemon to get it together. They finally made a game that looks good. They finally made a game worth buying a Switch 2 for. But I am more broke than ever and electronics are more expensive than ever. What timing. 😔

They will do anything to coerce people into paying extra, as long as a mjority of players don't start a boycott campaign over it.

I also make some of my own tutorials for people to use. Mostly focused on a workflow for #SecondLife, but a lot of it is also relevant to anyone. www.youtube.com/@GraveRender

My advice to anyone that wants to learn Blender or Substance Painter so they can start their 3D game dev journey is never "Go to school for it". It will always be watch a bunch of free video tutorials and replicate what you take in over and over until it sticks. That's how I learned. #GameDev

Just a reminder that this gem of a game, Blinx The Time Sweaper existed. Even has a sequel. But @xbox.com and @microsoft.com won't give him any love. He was supposed to be the Xbox mascot, not Master Chief. Glory to Blinx. We still remember you buddy. #Blinx

It can be really hard to make friends in general as an adult. Everyone is always so busy and living their own lives. I am hoping I can make some new friends here on blue sky.
