Development on this game is currently really slow cause I'm mainly working on another project right now. That one I haven't announced yet, but it will be pretty cool as well :)

So I fixed the performance issue with my sandbox game.
The game looks exactly the same as before (in fact this is an old screenshot ;) ), but now blocks can be placed without creating massive lag spikes \o/

One thing I've always been fond of is our windows.

Having contiguous exterior\interior spaces was important to us- but early on we realized interiors needed different ambient light from the exterior to feel properly cozy

One billionaire owns so much land that his holdings are bigger than Yellowstone National Park.

Stan Kroenke bought nearly 1 million more acres in New Mexico at the end of last year, and he now owns 2.7 million acres of US land.

In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

so much of learning is encouragement, but social media — outside of exceptionally accepting communities — rarely presents people with opportunities to fail sans consequences. so instead everyone acts like they know what they’re talking about even when they don’t, and we’re all dumber for it

as the new year is coming around the corner,

I am still available for work! The job hunt has lasted longer than ever before but I have hopes for 2026.

Need beautiful vistas? Need detailed foliage? Need a world artist who knows her photogrammetry?

I am the Environment Artist for your team!

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"

There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.

You're using ai for concept art.

You shouldn't be planning international travel to attend GDC just as a matter of who even knows if the US will have functioning air traffic control in March, but also even if you personally feel "safe" traveling across borders into the US: honestly at this point it signals a lack of solidarity.

it's kind of amazing watching all these tech CEOs rapidly dissociate from reality so hard that they're doubling down on defending the deepfake nudes of women and children app and absolutely cannot comprehend why that makes them grotesque villains
