Benjamin ... has named his game!

I used to make software; now I am making my first indie game.

Things I ♥️: my wife and son, animals, huskies, malamutes, bears, all of them really), books, human-made(!) art, humanity
So glad @deswalsh.bsky.social reposted this, it’s frackin’ amazing. I must’ve watched the poses, movement and rigging like 20 times on a loop. Go take a look at @skullcat3d.bsky.social’s complete work right now!!
Finally wrapped up my jedi project, thank you for letting me spam your feeds for months <3 #3dart #characterart #gameart #unrealengine #ue5 #metahuman

Case in point, this apple, cinnamon, butter dream headed into the oven!

Rule #0 of T-Day prep: always have a stick of butter* on every surface for easy reach, and some melted and ready to mix.

* regular or vegan depending on your preference/diet

In order to get this in the slow cooker for long enough, had to season yesterday and then sear at 8am today to get rolling.

This is for the carnivore, aka teen son, and the rest of the day is vegan and vegetarian prep.

GM y’all 🌞

A day of pre-cooking awaits for me. Hope your day of travel or prep goes smoothly if you’re celebrating tomorrow.

Unity's SerializeReference attribute, plus the extensions here github.com/mackysoft/Un... make for a very powerful way to expose in-engine, fully configurable class instances and collections of those instances.

🌶️ SerializedReference(s) > ScriptableObject(s) IMO 🌶️

A recently discovered canid is making their home along the coast of LA. They’re classified as coyotes, but Red Wolf ancestry gives them bigger ears, and longer legs.

Scientists are working to better understand these hybrids and what they mean for the future of canids in the region.

Back at it today, got targeting working, different projectiles (though need better class abstraction), and some better collision working.

Might have fun later and add VFX out of order because we all deserve nice things!

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

(Depending on how compelling my last idea was, I’m either the thing that brings them all together to save me, or I’m dead. Probably dead.)

A movie that takes place where you're from.

Literally grew up when and where this movie is set. Still remember watching the HBO doc as a kid and saying "Oh shit, that's where we live!" and everything that came along with that.

Had a free hour, so I snagged an Unsplash image and built a quick title screen, game manager, level loader, and scene delegate coordinators.

(Sorry for bsky video chonkiness)

"even more erroneous behavior ensues" is always reassuring to read in documentation.
