Forever echoing in my brain: if a person couldn't be bothered to put in the effort to make something, then why in the world would I bother putting in the effort to engage with it.
it's a slow process, but we're learning

a whole bunch of very talented people made this game and it looks rad!!
It's been a while.
Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Still accumulating ink experience. I'm drawing lots of people, lots of trees, lots of shaded spheres. Definitely not where I want to be yet, but the only way I'll level up is by persistently hiking outside of my comfort zone.

Progress really is unpredictable: today I made headway on multiple designs that've had me stumped for WEEKS.

I've been experimenting with traditional inking as of late, and: 1. inking is SO COOL, but 2. inking is SO HARD, especially 3. when you make your original sketch wayyy too small.

I've been getting really into traditional art techniques as of late, especially trying to bridge them with my digital techniques, and it's all such a blast!!
Relatedly, I just got a bunch of new drawing utensils, which means concocting ALL THE EXPERIMENTS.

my art brain has grown increasingly melty over these last few weeks as i chip chip chip away at one specific character's design.
like, how have none of these designs felt remotely correct??? it's a statistical wonder!

Just published a new Playdate game (for free) on itch.io! meteors is a simple arcade game about shooting meteors developed for Playdate. It's inspired by Asteroids and was my attempt at learning the mechanics of Playdate game development in Lua.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Date Nite is coming to the @play.date Catalog on February 4th!! It was a year-long labor of love and I’m so happy the folks @panic.com liked my game enough to include it 💛
Big thanks to @sine-creates-art.bsky.social for doing an awesome job creating the key art!

I did my first game jam this weekend! 😤 #GGJ25
I collab'd with five other devs to put together a game in 48 hours. While we didn't quite hit our mark, it was a fun experience, and I figured out how to better approach future jams!

I couldn't have anticipated how well my background in high-energy physics and general relatively would prep me for shader coding -- it apparently hinges on lots of coordinate conversions and sign/unit conventions, which I spent YEARS spec'ing into on my skill tree. 😤

More shader learning -- this time with caustics! ✨
Left = six octaves of hyperbolic-like waves
Right = sum of four Gerstner waves
Inspired by Chapter 2 of "GPU Gems". This aesthetically approximates caustics, but I look forward to learning more accurate methods in the future.

🌊 I'm diving into learning SHADERS! 🌊
Left = sum of four sines, w/ power constant 2.2
Right = sum of four Gerstner waves
(otherwise all parameters, lighting, and noise maps identical)
I followed the logic outlined in Chapter 1 of "GPU Gems" and am happy with the results!
