I have a title, environments, plot, characters, major events, and mechanics all thought out for my #gamedev project — however I work a full time job and have NO idea if I’ll get to all that, or how much will change as I go. Thinking of sharing gradually as I keep doing groundwork and tests 🤔

I’m loving ripping out prototype blueprint logic once a concept works, and moving most of it to a custom character class with #c++ interfaces I can expose to blueprints ✨ example of stamina state stuff & sprinting here #ue5 #indiegamedev #gamedev

Large example showing stamina state & sprinting blueprint logic, spread across multiple functions

Blueprint nodes showcasing simplified sprint control logic. Useful interfaces are exploded to blueprints, with all the background logic logged & handled within a custom character class.

Planning to spend a few days out in nature to practice resting. Sunset yesterday after dinner was fantastic. #ontario summer vibes

Current job is simultaneously the most frustrating, the most tiring, and the most fun all at the same time. I wonder when I'll commit to pivoting to something else — whether it be another job in industry, or doing my own thing.

Coming up for air during crunch time at work to mention I’ve been learning how weird C++ is in #ue5 — not even the code itself, but the dance between building solution, compiling, source files mysteriously disappearing? I’m getting it now, but bruh

Very classic me moment: I finished up some animations to integrate into #ue5, but decided to make some final adjustments to Zynga's rig. Of course...since the keyframes are in world space instead of local space I need to un-break the anims I just finished 😅😅

#hydroponics update! So the #kale has been thriving. The first one got a bit leggy as a seedling so I’ve added a post and string to help it out ✨ #yinteroHydroponics

Wanted to show some #kale I’m growing as a #hydroponics side project. 3D printed cups & grow light mount, and soon to add RPi for monitoring and control. Have some close-ups! Germinated just under 2 weeks ago #yinteroHydroponics

Overview of two baby kale plants. They are growing in rockwool, placed in custom 3D printed cups. The cups are sitting in mason jars, containing nutrient solution.

Macro shot of baby kale plant #1. Growing in rockwool, placed in a custom 3D printed cup. The seed leaves (bottom left and top right) and first true leaves (top left and middle right) can be seen

Figured I'd share some in-game close-ups of Zynga V2! — she's got lots of little texture details (scales ✨🐉) that'll show up in cutscenes #ue5 #gamedev Managed to slash texture footprint by another ~20% as well with V2 vs V1.1

Close-up shot of dragon-hybrid Zynga in-engine. She is looking off to the side in a 3/4 view. She has brown eyes with yellow sclerae, brown scutes on her face, brown horns, and thick brown locs with jewellery. She has small scales that are /just/ visible. The walls of the basic UE5 test level can be seen in the background.

Visible is her tucked-in shirt, belt, shorts, tail storage accessories, and gloves. She has small scales that are just visible. Pieces of the basic UE5 test level can be seen in the background.

Shoutout to my Jersey friend’s cat Colin, who was extraordinarily majestic and friendly and would stare at my room door for hours. Waiting. Unmoving.

Side project: friend in Jersey gave me an old 1960s camera as he’s got many and I’m curious to get into film. I’ve been doing that thing where I use #blender as a CAD tool to design and print stuff so I don’t have to buy any lens spanners or caps 👀

3D printed lens cap for Canon Canonet camera. It is being held by the photographer

Unscrewing parts of the main camera lens for repair. Photographer is holding a custom 3D printed lens spanner wrench, indented to undo retaining rings within the lens stack

Just finishing up a trip to #Jersey (JE 🇯🇪), was amazing to relax, hang out, ride motorbikes and do some animating with a longtime friend of mine. Some fascinating old bits of #ww2 history as well here!

Photo of coastline at low tide. Rocks that are usually submerged are visible, a thin path leads from the right hand side of the image to an outcrop with Corbiere lighthouse

Forest that endured a winter storm. Image is taken on a paved path covered in leaves. The path is flanked by grassy trees and brambles.

Northern coastline, close to the Devil’s Hole, at low tide. The steep sided cliffs give descend to the rocky coastline and turbulent sea.
