I make stuff. Sometimes it's drawn, sometimes it's pixellated, sometimes it's playable, and other times it's spat out of a 3D printer.

Now that videos are a thing, might as well put up the trailer for Buck Up And Drive!, that stupid car game I did a while ago, with a sequel in the works!

And links because duh!

That screen arrived today from aliexpress (5.7", 1080p with touch and ok speakers) so doing a quick tape-powered test with my OrangePi 5 Max. Still wild to me one can have a full-ass desktop experience like this. Distro's bredOS btw. Goofy name, but great option for non-RPi SBCs. #orangepi #linux

Haven't drawn shit in a while due to pesky burnout, figured out how to replace sprites in Daggerfall Unity, so did a quick experiment lol #daggerfall #krita

Still rough as shit but hey, it looks like *a place* at the very least. Kinda! Figuring out how to lay the road in there and not have it clip all over the place was interesting. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Bit more refinement on controls, now with 100% more ratchet turning! And yeah, road texturing's important too I suppose. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

It's one thing to test controls in the vaccuum of an empty area, it's another to have a track to go through. This'll do for now. Shoutout to the iffy collisions on the overpass lol #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Finally giving Morrowind a go (using openmw). While it's fun to do my usual hand-to-hand run, it's also funny to figure out you can kinda play this like a boomer shooter. Crossbows are funny like that.

... and yes, the series very much went downhill after this one.

Setting that heightmap terrain aside and refining them car controls a bit more. Yeah, this is feeling alright! #gamedev #indiedev #godot
January 5, 2026 at 2:17 AM
Yeah, that drifting's feeling a bit better now. Might as well spruce up the camera as well while I'm at it, eh. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

If you saw that heightmap test I recently did... come on, you know it was but a matter of time till I threw the Ferrero in there, right?

While busy with other stuff to actually work on BUAD2, this'll do for now even if it's not exactly "canon". Not yet at least, I dunno. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Bit more tweaking and changed how the terrain works (just importing from Blender instead of messing with shaders and heightmap file conversions), looks kind of alright

When you're messing with #godot to learn heightmap terrain and end up cobbling together a day/night cycle in there because I dunno, thought it'd be funny! #gamedev #indiedev

Seems to be in right now to talk about game-launching mockups. Might as well skip that and show this thing I've been working on lately.

There's still some fine-tuning before I release it, and still deciding on licenses but it will be FOSS, but as-is it does what I need it to do.

Some Boomguy dude I needlessly made for a thing, I dunno.

Daggerfall's fun. Specially once you find out what you can do with equip enchantments.
November 17, 2025 at 10:52 AM
Don't mind me, just goofin' with Doom a bit. May goof some more. It's fun. Specially goofin' those goofs in the goofer.

What started as a way to automate launching Blood's janky expansion somehow is now my boomer shooter launcher. Needs more logos, but everything on that list is launching without a problem, and quite quickly at that.

Now bad for a first time making a TUI in bash, I suppose.
October 20, 2025 at 10:22 AM
Who'da thunk it Hexen of all things is what gets me to experiment with gzdoom. It's downright criminal the Fighter's gauntlets are so under-utilized, so doing something about it.

Still rough as hell but eh, not bad for only messing with it for a few days (counting the UI bits there too).

A more presentable version of that #3dprinted #mechanicalkeyboard I did a while ago. Now with 100% more numpad! Not enough of that in the mech keeb scene!

First time giving ortholinear keys a go, this... will take a bit of getting used to lol
