Working on "Quantum3D" - This will be an open-source 3D engine/IDE. I use QT OpenSource for the IDE, and the 3D engine is completely new, built entirely using Vulkan. Here's a test image of it's PBR shader. #gamedev #indiedev

Strange secret NHS Technology? This was peterbury unit, colchester. They never said a word about it, and this was five years ago. No health conditions, just mental health. Is it their 'voices' tech in the flesh? #nhs #voices #mentalhealth

Improved message UI. Now has a partial video bg like conversation UI. #gamedev #indiedev

Added message subsystem to the Edge Framework/game. It uses the conversation editor to build, but unlike the conversationSubsystem, it is not interactive. It can be system messages, tutorial messages or even character chat that require no interaction. #gamedev #indiedev
