I've been working on my OWDB addon for godot, specifically adding multiplayer support.

That's right, multiplayer open worlds with very little setup! Even supports nodes with zero configuration, they just need to managed by OWDB. Join the discord to follow development discord.gg/dPYxs3gXWQ

I've been working on a demo for a godot addon I've also been also working on. Possibly having too much fun in the process.

I made a little classless css library for semantic html if you want to make a basic site look good without messing with css digitallytailored.github.io/Classless.css/

Did some work to make the ground a bit more detailed. Quite happy with it! The grass meshes could be improved, maybe just made smaller/more detailed, but was mainly focusing on the local terrain structure.

I need to get back to item destruction/dropping!

A screenshot from a 3D video game showing a lush green meadow with tall grass and scattered yellow wildflowers. Coniferous trees dot the landscape, and a majestic blue mountain rises in the background against a bright blue sky with white clouds. The interface shows "SERVER - 1 (DEBUG)" in the top-left corner, coordinates in the top-right, and a row of inventory slots at the bottom of the screen. A small animal, possibly a deer, can be seen in the meadow. The scene has a vibrant, open-world nature setting with rolling hills.

I updated (replaced) my work site with #SvelteKit and some fancy new #WebGL 3D effects.

Now I just need some clients! 😆

Just watched this video about the movement to stop killing video games - really good! The below graphic is perfect. If you're in the EU, please consider signing this petition www.stopkillinggames.com

A meme comparing basic commerce to online-only video games. The image has white text on a black background. At the top it says "Basic commerce: Customer pays money" with an illustration of a hand holding dollar bills. Below are two options separated by "OR": On the left is a burlap sack with grain spilling out, labeled "They get to keep what they bought." On the right is a colorful illuminated Ferris wheel at night, labeled "They are informed upfront when their access to something ends." At the bottom right is a white-bordered text box stating "Most online-only video games:" followed by two bullet points: "Customer keeps nothing" and "Customer is not informed upfront when access will end." The meme criticizes how online-only video games differ from traditional commerce by not providing permanent ownership of purchased items and lacking transparency about when access to the game will terminate.

Went to the Game of Thrones studio tour today. Great fun, lots of minor details in the show that you otherwise wouldn't know about. Was sad to read they're making a loss at the moment.

Been doing some prototyping of cutting down trees, specifically adding realistic damage to the trunk, kinda like Son's of the Forest 🌲
Shall I keep going or stick with decals?

OK all - bit of a random one 🤣 It's Friday, end of another busy month. Instead of spending half the night scrolling through Netflix, try movie.curato.io

Tell it what you like and get personalized movie, series & anime suggestions! 🎬✨

Made in 1 day with SvelteKit and Bulma 🚀

Before vs after: Adding terrain normal rotation to grass completely transformed the environment! The blades now naturally follow the landscape contours instead of standing awkwardly upright. Small technical change, massive visual impact! #GameDev #GodotEngine #IndieDev

I've ported my entity rules for my procedural generation from a flat txt format to yaml. I can now add detailed crafting recipes and usage effects to all entities as well as defining generation requirements.

Thank you for the feedback all! I've tweaked this a bit so it's somewhere in-between and added some more depth, detail and variations to the grass (which now includes flowers and small rocks)

I'm so happy this project has some traction - people are already using it, submitting PRs and issues! I've extended it quite a bit with new input types and other elements and have started work on consolidating the variables and trying out new themes.. Watch this space!

After a packed week of client work, I built something new to unwind: Classless.css ✨

A zero-class CSS framework that makes plain HTML look polished and responsive with no extra markup.

digitallytailored.github.io/Classless.css/

Open source and ready for your projects! #WebDev #CSS #buildinpublic

I spent a big chunk of yesterday working on a replacement for Godot's MultiplayerSynchronizer. MS is great but I need some more control in my game (staggered loading, manual dirtying, manual broadcasts). It's all running great so I'll likely share the project to github.

I'm mostly working on AI today (rabbits and foxes) but as usual I've made a few tweaks to the procgen placement and the grass shader 😄

Die Hard Trilogy
What's better than one game? Three games! It had three game modes, with each movie being represented as a third-person shooter, on-rail shooter, and driving game respectively. It was so good that they even made a Die Hard Trilogy 2! 😆
Yippee ki-yay!
