Game developer, modder, and general jack-of-all-trades.
Added some spooky undead.
Also finished wrapping up a rewrite of the character (or anything really) generation code and updated it to make this video.
It was something I needed to do for the kindom-culture generation which is up next...

Been testing new eyes for the mice.
It was really just a crazy midnight thing, but I realized I kinda liked it.
A previous co-worker's idea to add the highlight. 100% better.

Mostly been working on data structures, but I also set up some new graphics, outfit combos, etc.
The game went from 1 head graphic to 11 (after endless tweaking and tuning).
I'm pretty happy with the results tho! :D

Mostly worked on the rendering system, which can be seen on the apparel which can now have various rules for colors, etc. :)
In the future it will be possible to get more fancy with it. :)
I also had to redo every single setup for every hair, skin, etc. Oof.

Did some work on an apparel/layer system. Here is #barbarian armor I ported from my #rimworld #mod
Otherwise I’ve been working mostly on framework stuff recently. It is going great, but doesn’t make for great pictures :p

Played a little bit with rimworld and wrote a glowy energy shader last evening.
I originally aimed to just make basic glow, but I feature creeped it a bit…
Might resuse it in my own hobby game too.

Got the mod feature deployed properly. :)
Better shaders, 3-colour stuff, ability to change the colour of stuff like specific genes (where supported), etc.
Was an interesting challenge to work on. ^_^

Managed to figure out how to build rimworld shaders, and created a new shader with much better blending and support for full RGBA instead of just Red+Green.
The Ideology icon is unrelated to this change. Looks a bit meh up-close but I thought it was eat :)

Made a new RimWorld mod which lets you toggle a more reactive mode for drafted colonists, letting them use abilities and pursue foes.

Bleh. Didn't get things working today. Past midnight. Should be asleep hours ago...
I think I'm 90% of the way to the AI searching the map for resources, extracting them, and going back with them.
Here have some random unreadable JSON! :'D
Hopefully I have something better to show next time. :)

Was busy being sick. Did mess a bit of tinkering with the shaders, renderings, scaling, json editing,...
I think the colors look a bit cleaner now, and the outline less gritty. Hope it is noticable.
More gameplay next! :)

Some really nice buildings SirVan made for me (Thanks!).
Also I've made it so when you zoom in you will see the whole squad/army. When zoomed out you get represented by the most "visible" member.

New fog-of-war effect (visible/seen/never-seen).
Intend to make super-dark area just be black or show the background. ...but that doesn't make for good screenshots. :p
Colours will probably need some tweaking though.

Cleaned up my scaling code for UI so it has diminishing returns.
Here is a test where I basically forced a bit over the intended maximum permitted size.
I might need to support wide portrait for monsters.

Got a bit tired of Godot's hex tile system and decided to write my own so I could mess around with JSON and stuff to control the map.
I'm quite happy about how the trees and such look. :)

Suddenly it feels like an actual game.
Had the idea of making the icon fade away to reveal the character when zoomed in, but maybe I'll just make that shrink them reveal the rest of the squad..?

Redid my tiles a bit and replaced my old hill & mountain graphics.
Took many attempts. Turns out environment art is hard, and I have no idea what I'm doing. :'D
I don't want to go to crazy either since I might redesign everything later.

The game now automatically tries to generate faction icons/colors using some pile of code to try to find colours that go well together. :D

Decided to try to tackle adding faction icons to the game.
These will be semi-randomly generated, so they both fit the faction, but also and unique and recognizable
Uses a custom-built shader :)
