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.

In the meantime, for the console game project: I’ve got the voices for all the characters except for one. So I might start chopping up the audio files and implementing them tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll hear back from the last voice actor soon, too.

Billionaires already live in a magical reality where they're exempt from consequences for fraud, criminality, antisocial behavior. But that's not enough. Everyone else must be forced to live according to their precepts and be at the mercy of their whims. Perverse!

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)

In response to Musk calling to “abolish” the European Union, the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski, wrote in Musk’s replies on X: “Go to Mars. There’s no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

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)

Zuckerberg's attempt at making Second Life again could almost certainly have funded every indie game in the history of indie games combined.

I’m really enjoying experimenting with this stuff, I just wish this library had better documentation. It’s hard to find others talking about it, and the included docs and examples are just so-so. 8)

But I’m definitely in coding mode lately. (Which is both a blessing and a curse)

I need to figure out how “shaders” work better, maybe try making a simple one to darken/tint a tile. And also see if I can do dynamic textures… it would be neat to have something like a digital score display in the middle of the table. Might experiment with that a bit tomorrow?

Kinda feel we’d be doing better off as a whole if more people were curious and cared about the world we live in. :P
