Did a bit more, mocking up how the tiles in the hands would go.
Discovered assigning shaders is costly, so has to be done more carefully to maintain a good frame-rate.

Pretty proud of how it's come together so far. :P Definitely going to work more on this after the current project.

Not really sure how shaders work exactly, but I managed to create one that 'dims' a tile. Also got Orthographic projections sorted out (kinda), should I want to use that at some point.

Yay? 8)

Cheating a lot with the 3D, just using a 'table' object I downloaded twice... since I'm not good enough to make the objects myself yet... 8)

Figured out how to draw directly to the textures, so I can do stuff like a digital panel in the middle of the table... 8)

Everything is putting together and-of-year recaps now, including YouTube.

Still, it was kinda interesting.

Apparently not many people are curious about the world, though? :|

There's probably much better ways of doing it, but I've managed to get different tile-faces implemented now. Enhanced the lighting a bit too.

Definitely something I'm interested in working on more... after I get the current project done. 8)

Figuring out the lighting & shadows. Pulled in a 'table' object and put a custom image on it. It... has potential. This is all pretty new to me, but I'm sort-of figuring stuff out.

Keeping the console game in "2D" projection, but this could form the basis for an update to KM later?

Figured out the texture loading issue, and started trying to get some understanding of the camera and lighting in this library ("3DreamEngine").

Many thanks to @shawn-in-3d.bsky.social for the leg up with the tile model that I'm using here.

TWRP retains its top spot, but Shadow Academy has a strong showing with “Icarus” from their album “Prisms”. Lady Gaga, The Strike, and Chromeo rounding out my top 5 artists.

Most-played video game soundtrack was Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. 8)

It’s cooler weather and we’ve been finding our cat in her cat bed by the stairwell more frequently (it’s near a heat vent).

That… would be pretty awesome if you’re willing, thank you.
If it helps for tile dimensions…
28mm wide x 38mm tall x 15mm thick? Could just have a blue or yellow back, and a rectangle for the face? (Where I’d put the correct tile face within?)

My cat has (for the first time?) laid down on my back while I’m in bed, now I can’t move. 8)

Partner’s mom’s cat says hello (well, more like “MEEEEEEEHHH!” - he’s very loud)

“‘Aluminium OS’ / Google is developing a new operating system that'll be used primarily on PCs as an alternative to Windows”

Apparently heavily infused with “AI” stuff. So their alternative to Windows’s AI crap is… Google’s AI crap.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think she’s forgiven us for taking her to the vet yesterday.

I think I've made them a bit more aggressive (and willing to declare Riichi) now, in the Playdate version.

A couple games played and the CPU's done better.

It's possible, too, that I was just having a string of good luck before too. :P

Oh, to be as content as my cat in a sunbeam. 8)
