Really think we're missing an opportunity for a horror comedy about a demonic jacket that possesses husbands and the savvy wife who spots the connection but nobody will take her seriously

Sudden memory unlock of sending a cheque to a "shareware library" so they could send me a floppy with a newer version of DEU (Doom Editing Utilities) because internet access wasn't all that common back then, and I still just had to make stuff.
I am so glad none of the crap I made then is online 😆

I made a tiny game for PicoSteveMo with @dicey.bsky.social !
➡️ It's called King Stephen
➡️ You play as King Stephen (King of England 1135-1154)
➡️ It's a Reigns-like decision-making game
➡️ I did the writing + portraits
➡️ Made for a Stephen King game jam
➡️ It's very silly

That's already a fabulous package. Jingle Jam really is good if you like games or charity (or BOTH if you're some kind of weirdo)
Because you've been so good, we're letting you open a few of your presents early this year.
Core Keeper, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Tactical Breach Wizards and an exclusive Jingle Jam edition of Train Sim World 6 are your first four games in the 2025 Jingle Jam Games Collection!

Enjoy this old GIF with added sound. I'm not a fan of shouting, so I had to take a trip to some empty forest to record the scream. Apologies if you were scared by a loud shout in the woods yesterday

Did some blockouts for the next asset pack I've got planned. Even though I've got no immediate plans to use this in a game myself, I can't skip a blockout and in-engine test to check the navigable space is big enough. Already rejigged this a bit after testing.

It was a mistake to ever allow me near video editing software.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Welp, Blender 5 just caused a video driver crash as it had an implosion, at a moment when I wasn't even doing anything except looking at menus trying to spot stuff that had changed.
I've no idea how commonly it crashes generally but I never had one in 4.4/4.5.

Been wanting to do something with textures and attempt baby's first level building with a 3D modeller. It was a bit of a steep learning curve vs GtkRadiant, but I got to the point of making very bland room 😄 - newfound respect for every game level I ever ran through.
