Half a day later and I found the bug in my maths library that was causing the flickering shadow maps 🫠

Came home and added some simple linear fog after a long weekend with the fam. I've been working on some stuff in the background to support infinite worlds for the new direction I'm going in. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Added shadow maps while stuck at the airport today. I didn't love the softness produced by PCF. This is dithered PCF with some distortion applied to the sampling which I prefer but still not 100%, opinions welcome. Also need to fix the swimming while the camera is moving #gamedev #indiedev

Started on entity *browsing* and *editing* tools today. The code might end up strange because I don't have entities in the ECS sense (not necessary for this case) but trying to not overthink 😬
A friend offered to design some tracks, but they can't do that without tools! #gamedev #indiedev
