Saturday Morning Marble Game

Public playtest: Soon.
Full release: 2026.
Also, no kidding, I just picked up SH2 Remake again after having to pause for a week. The Labyrinth is legitimately scaring the hell out of me. I just couldn't go on anymore. Holy fuck..

For some reason I feel bad for having interrupted my replay of the Xenoblade series, while realizing how dumb this is. No reason to play the games uninterrupted and burn myself out when there are so many other great games waiting for me. Katamari, SH2 Remake now, Prime 4 soon and my Analogue3D!

More Tweens for Saturday Morning Marble Game. Interaction UI & marble dispenser indicators done. Looks all very playful now.

Last thing missing is spawning and deletion of parts. Gonna be a bit tricky since some parts (like conveyors) have a pretty complex structure.

You're welcome.

I've been marathoning Heretic Remastered over the past few days and I'm having the time of my life. Also the first time I'm going for 100% secrets in each map - never done that before (although I'm pretty sure I've seen each secret at least once).

I can already tell I won't have my Xenoblade Chronicles 2 anniversary art ready for Monday, so I'll at least post a WIP now

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Sometimes I wonder if the "Enhanced" levels of Heretic Remastered are just a lot darker in some hallways cause it makes enemies harder to see and therefor "harder/spookier" or if me playing Heretic with GZDoom for 20something years has skewed my perception of how that game's supposed to look.

Godot docs: Call down, Signal up.
Me: World space or local space?

I'm asking the important questions here.

The Analogue3D makes me think back to the N64 era and how I experienced it. I remember it was then when I tapped out of that "tech race". The N64 started as THE most advanced system. Then came PSX with its amazing games, then the even stronger Dreamcast and

I said before I'd only play Heretic with the "Enhanced" features of the Remake once. And while that's true for the weapon changes, I grow to like the level changes quite a bit. New textures were a bit hit/miss in Episode 1, but Episodes 2 & 3 have been really good.

I didn't expect to be so happy with and emotional about the Analogue3D. The N64 is one of my favorite game systems and I'm grateful mine still works. But running it (PAL version) on modern TV has been sub par. Image never looked right - even with a RetroTink5X. Now... it just does.
November 28, 2025 at 8:49 PM
Played around with the Analogue3D a bit and I already love it. Since I got a PAL collection, games tend to run choppier than NTSC. Overclocking mode fixes a lot of that. The CRT filters are great, but Clean mode with Sharpness on "Very Soft" gives me the "this is how I remember it"-feeling.

It's here.

I still don't believe it.

Progress on visual polish. Highlight shader now changes smoothly, so do handles for tracks - even joints have animations. Although I might take that out again. There could be hundreds of joints in the level and as lightweight as Tweens may be, that's probably a bit overkill.

Drunk, playing Heretic and having Civvie videos in secondary monitor. What an evening. :)

Oh shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Vis Billy? You gotta be kidding me, I got boxes full of references to Billy!

Some programmers get upset how variable names are not descriptive enough or too long, which case they should use.

That's nothing. I nearly suffer breakdowns when one of my classes has a function called
"hud_update()" but another has "activate_something()". IS THE VERB FIRST OR LAST?
November 27, 2025 at 10:30 AM
Man... starting with Episode 2, the Heretic Remaster looks more like a Heretic Remake.

Again, it's cool cause I appreciate the variety. But it's not cool cause they ship that as the default and the option to switch back is kinda hidden.
I hope Hexen got the same treatment cause THAT GAME NEEDS IT.

Fun fact: When I made Doki Doki Gravity Dive, I didn't really grasp the concept of inheritance just yet. I mean I just came from C, so it was a bit alien.

So you gotta understand, a lot of functions were copied and pasted, whole classes, scripts, so it got a little confusing.

Each time I play QUAKE, I spend an hour debugging why the music doesn't work until I realize that it does and it's just random noises.

According to FedEx I should get my Analogue3D by Friday.

I said it before and I'll say it again:
I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT.

Good Boy from @terribleposture.bsky.social is six players, has an instantly iconic and terrifying enemy, and funny looking characters- I don't think there's a better combo. The game is out for $7 in Early Access!
