some #gamedev stuff cuz it's been a while!

I've been finetuning some of the visuals and adding animations/lighting/post processing to this room specifically!

Also programmed functional notifications for when you have new emails/forum threads to investigate :3c #NQB8 #solodev #indiegamedev
I'm trying to decide if I want to make my character customizer's interface to have a drag-and-drop interface to be the most authentic to the 90s dollmaker experience as possible, or if I wanna just have it be a standard scroll menu scenario... I think the latter is more accessible but aesthetics...

Watched a few videos today about the trend of retro technology coming back in style as a way to disconnect from the modern era... On one hand, I understand the notion and definitely can see the benefit in that, but as a retro tech collector pre-trend, my worry is just that... the "trend" part of it

And the final page I wanna show off from my new homepage--my retro game collection shrine hehe. Basically just a little log/diary of the retro games I have in my physical collection and the memories I have associated with them! ambattii.com/gamecollection

One of my favorite pages on my new homepage is my NOCTURNE project page--you can check out a huge gallery of work I did for my indie animated pilot before I put it on hiatus! ambattii.com/pastprojects...

After a good month or two of coding, I finally have a new personal website (hosted on Neocities)! I'm very happy with how it turned out and there's some cool stuff on there, so please check it out hehe ambattii.com

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:

Hi I'm a fork stuck in a toaster to get the toast out as a 19 year old because nobody ever taught me not to do that as a child and I didn't realize it was dangerous
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:

Hi I'm a misstep on a snowy mountain slope 👋

Sup, I'm a public skate park.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

watching multiple YouTubers, big and small, speak on the horrific anxiety and depression that follows the absolute disgusting vitriol that certain types of crowds can send their way over the most miniscule of misunderstandings/strawman arguments is... comforting, but also frustrating

This world is full of so many cool things and wonderful people that I refuse to let the dregs of humanity who refuse to better themselves ruin that for me

if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this.

It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.
For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.

Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this year has been rough. So if you're stil here right now, give yourself a pat in the back. You did your best and that's more than anyone could ever ask for.

Thinking abt the new year... this year was a difficult year for me. It was the first year without my dog, who I had since I was I was around 18, the stress of finalizing our immigration to Canada and so much more... Things are looking more positive/settled down in 2026 so I am looking forward to it

I always find it really jarring whenever I encounter a languishing creative who blames their lack of motivation/output on other people not supporting them "enough."

I just assumed we were all freaks who were in this for the love of the game.

Making the thing IS the reward. An audience is optional.

PSA for Animation (or any creative) showrunners, directors, leaders, ect -

Your teams know when you shit talk their work. They know when you play favs. They know that you wanted to hire someone else, or that you think people arnt talented enough. You are not as quiet as you think.
