My solo 3D engine project looks like it’s getting close to being able to make a game (and also start releasing something) so hyped on that. This progress update is around 45 minutes, think my longest one yet, but good stuff inside. Showing the new mesh menu and
Ended up doing a remaster of the 30 second motion capture animation I published on Valentine’s Day. Perhaps a few frames that could be smoother, but this feels like basically production quality to me. Got about 200 videos clips from the studio recording, and this one loop took
Did another one of these quasi-political schizorants, but this one I feel came out good. The earlier ones were about the AI-hate debate, which brought up so good points, but actually applying this logic to the 3D market let me discover an angle I hadn’t thought before. Video
Taking breaks from the Hell that is indie game development, to make music videos using Suno and Midjourney. Not expecting much action, or any money, even while I think it’s lit, since too many people perpetually butthurt (likely for reasons they themselves don’t even understand). But, I’m having
Put together a new cyberpunk-themed scene in Degine so I have something “somewhat professional” looking to showcase at GDC 2026. Feel like the graphics are in a good spot, though I have about a month to do some optimization and clean-up the code (which is honestly full of
Signed up on Suno to get an idea if AI-generated music could work for my projects. Started with the free tier and was surprised how well it works. Granted, it’s very much a “gacha mechanic” where you type a short prompt and get something with a very wide
First developer vlog for 2026 is live. Mostly showcasing editor improvements for Degine, my custom OpenGL-based 3D engine I’ve been working on for nearly 3 years. Started integrating more radial menu icons (that were designed around 2 years ago) and prototyping the main user interaction. Most of the
Got a new demo video up with the almost final motion capture pipeline and alternate costume for the character. Despite looking highly erotic, it’s not a hentai game. Not sure the project really fits exactly any specific genre, though might best be described as a chatbot (though perhaps
Made some improvements on the motion capture pipeline using iPhone recorded video and processed with QuickMagic and Cascadeur. Using LiveLinkFace and all compiled together in Blender. Getting close to final quality, though there are still some kinks with the animation (I think the rig is working, this is
Started testing a new character design for the real-time project. Even though I was happy with the artist I had, rigging and retargeting the animation was turning into a massive headache due to the extreme amount of bones. These would allow things like clothing physics and costumes, however
