I need to record some new AR footage but thought I'd at least bring this prototype footage over from the bird app.

I'm working on a game, OverRuin, blending MMORPG gameplay with the real world.

I'm using AR + GPS + Open Street Maps to spawn encounters all over the planet!

Here I am on a loot run:

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #275,986!

Suck it n00bs!

I'd like to share a tool I made. I developed it because the current options out there (e.g. Twine, Inkle Writer) are missing key features that would make them useful to me.

Noodle Weaver - A tool used to create interactive stories.

If there's interest, I can polish it up!

My Playdate finally arrived!

I honestly love it.

I wonder how many half-complete projects I'll make for this guy...

For that proto, I cloned the sprite, darkened it (with a shader) and laid it down. This gave me the flexibility to rotate it to match with the feet. So it kind of works, but it does mean that intersecting with other sprites will look funky.

The other option is a simple circle sprite as a shadow.

Mockup vs actual gameplay. This is a game I'm working on, OverRuin, an AR RPG.

As a programmer I always feel a bit of shame that I can't quite bring the live product to the level of quality that the artist envisions, but sometimes technical challenges that get in the way, like implementing shadows.
