i desparately want to make a free moving first person simulation dungeon for something like this with more expanded mechanics but i'm really stoked for this and its a lot of design concepts I'm super familiar with by now so I'm feeling strong here goes nothing!

Tech Test for Rats in the Walls! This is the project I've solidified myself on for Cosmic Horror Jam IV, based on the short story of the same name. All art by me! Check out this video! #cosmichorror #gamejam #gamedev #dev #pixelart #dungeon

Lmao. Every time i want to do something new in 3d space i feel like im re-learning geometry when its one of my best subjects rip

Yeah i was having fun trying to plot points in relative space using degrees because the axes were all off when the math was applied so thst was a 4 hour headache that i accidentally just messrd around with my calculator and notepad to map out lol

Also figured easy one stop summary would help for the thread in case you knew any of this haha

Euler math is the school of geometry used for programming cus it allows for algorithmic comparisons between two 3D bodies in relative space. Think pitch/yaw alongside length, height, depth
Game engines also orient the axes to measure base degree 0 for these in different ways so research is fun lol

insulting to literally everyone with diagnoses that don't use it give the bare minimum to everything in life other than whatever gives them the most dopamine at any given moment (usually these behaviors coincide lol)

people seem to forget that diagnoses and having like personality problems is something you can like, manage? my old roommate used to start fights because she thought a diagnosis for rejection sensitive dysphoria basically meant she didn't need to manage conflict so everything was my fault lol

Im basically not going to be on bluesky for any personal purposes from now on, i removed it from my regular loop. Found some healing and some more physical therapy opportunities so im focused on that still but less pain and exhaustion has been helpful lately. We will see if i can do a game jam now🤪

Lmao even command zone is over mtg will the forces of feedback finally push back through to wotc/hasbro leadership?

To not understand that a critique of a system does not directly implicate you as an individual participating within the system is to fall prey to the exact consumption model that the predatory forces of Hasbro WANT you to engage in.
Totally bought into the game regardless of quality/harm

Pigslop as a term exists not as a resentful dig at people more privileged to enjoy something others cant, its an acknowlegement that there is a capacity within human behavior to consume whatever is given in front of us, regardless of harm or quality. As pig do. You know the pig eats bodies monologue
