It's ugly as heck right now, but as a two-day project I've thrown together a prototype for a little town-builder incremental. It needs a lot of polish and balancing, plus a mechanic or two, but I'm happy with how it's progressing.

It's an *incredibly stupid* bit, but I really enjoy Sasuke returning after 3 years and however many murders and being like "I'll be hokage."
Buddy, you are *so dumb*, Naruto the famed moron is smarter than you.

I went back to an older project today to see if I could crack it: hard pixel texture sampling with vertex paint support.
It's 95% working now, supporting ^2 sample counts above 16, diffuse, normal & roughness + height.

By default, Pixomatic outputs at half res, but after reading the documentation (boo, hiss) it's trivial to turn that off in the ini, at which point my test shows it running around 16-24 fps.
This is honestly about 5 times faster than I was expecting.

Seeing a lot of this while playing Galaxy Princess Zorana, it feels like nearly every day on the world wide web.

I really adore the extremely 1990s design of the samurai in Naruto, it pleases me immensely.

I brought my camera with me while dog-sitting Fig this weekend, so I could let its nice lens do all of the heavy lifting.

I have my issues with the arc (its overall pacing, Naruto's power spike, the rebirth screwing with the narrative stakes), but damn Pain's Assault ends on a high.

Episode 82 of Shippuden remains a favourite. Very different palette and animation style to the norm, it covers ~7 pages of the manga over ~20 minutes, then half of the next chapter in its final 2.

A friend reminded me the other day of just how much I love Naruto (warts and all), so I've started a re-watch of my favourite arc.

Sometimes when you're feeling a little drained, and it feels like the world is out to get you, you just have to sit down and watch episode 1015 of One Piece for the twenty-third time.

That new Silent Hill movie trailer certainly is something.

I knocked over Dispatch, it's real solid. Its biggest success I think is that the actual Dispatching part is both tense and fun.
I continue my run of playing an absolute dork whenever a game gives me the choice.

Alright Dispatch, I guess this is slightly more polite than calling me the stupidest man on earth.

Next on the list is adding some screen shake, and it's going *very well* (marked as "graphic" due to sort of flashing lights).

Much more work on the buff screen is needed, but the first step, updating the particles so that they pretend to glow, is done. For the right look I've also had to increase the spawn rate by... ten times, but there's plenty of performance headroom on the menus.

Decreased base brightness to .2 instead of .3, fixed the invisible hover buttons that had stopped working (because of me), switched the post-its to match the album cover-art not the casing (badly drawn instead of CG), made the font more readable & adjusted animation timings.

I've been playing V Rising with some friends lately (a game I last touched in 2022) and it's made me add another entry onto the "games I'd like to try and make" list.
I find it fun to look at this and track it against what I was playing/reading/watching that I'm riffing on.

I just made one small tweak, brightening and dimming the choices on the level-up screen to help highlight the selected one, and it's made it feel approximately 3 times as polished as it did before.

There's something I find immensely funny about having an idea about how you want to do something, implementing said idea, and having the result absolutely *suck*.
