I used to make software; now I am making my first indie game.

Things I ♥️: my wife and son, animals, huskies, malamutes, bears, all of them really), books, human-made(!) art, humanity

First test with actual diffuse irradiance probes spawned at each visible voxel face. Need to fix a few bugs (the number of probes shouldn't keep growing...) and then I can work on speeding up raytracing & convergence.

I do not know if @alexandragallant.com plays video games, or is interested in them, but I immediately thought "You know who needs to see this ..." when I watched it's trailer.

Age yourself with gaming

Footnotes
1. Yes, I am old
2. Yes, the first three came out at diff times, but I was introduced to them all around the same age
3. AGCK is years later, but profoundly formative

--- October Recap (Late) ---

Me: Distributes ≈6 tons (12,500lbs) of gravel by hand—bucket, shovel, wheelbarrow—over six days.

... three days + many advil later ...

Doctor: "Anything unusual that could have triggered this lower back + groin sprain?"

Me: "Uhhh, no, not really."

There's at least one joke here about Zohran, free buses, and the million people who said they'd leave if he won. I'm just too eepy today to make it. Have at it!

Why is my feed 50% cheese discussions today? Not complaining, just curious if I missed a memo. 🧀🐭

If you zoomed in on the (miscolored) volcano, this one biome for the game. As with every biome, there will be four combat zones to progress through; three minor heroes and one major hero. Here's what that looks like for this biome. (More deetail in the alt)

Scratch that, here's a less screwy version that manages to get rid of some of the artifacts in the colorization.

False(ish) color map of my world map. Need to hand color probably, unless I can pre-color output from individual islands to account for lava vs snow, etc. Also needs rivers and other overlays, but pretty close!

Before I have to eventually get rid of my LinkedIn Premium subscription, I have 9 links I'm able to share with others so they can receive "2 months free."

If you're actively looking for work (or know someone who is) and we're connected on there, please message me on that site, and I'll share one.

Lake Kaindy is a valley lake made by flooding in Kazakhstan, whose water is so cold that it preserved the spruce trees that grew in the valley for over 100 years. Underworld environmental design drop for you!
