Tonight:
I get harassed by some deer, Aria gets chatty about my getup, and Tinsel does her best impression of a croissant.

Tools are really hard to make. There's so much less margin for error when you're making a tool versus a video game.

Two pieces of art, both individually featuring characters from my game, were illustrated by the giga-talented @geahgeah.bsky.social!
Thank you so much!!!

Made some performance fixes. The culprit was not what I thought it was originally, but I have my frames!

It's been a while since I modeled a non-humanoid anything. Nothing here's final, I'm just trying to get a feel for how the rig'll look before I commit myself to the model and finish it. I'm better at rigging, anyways...

Swinging swords astride horses should be in every game. It makes no sense biomechanically, but I want it.

Probably goes without saying, but don't make code with any dependence on classes like EditorInterface for release. I spent a few hours because I wanted to visualize something in the editor!

I have reins, but no reins I want. Geometry likes to throw a fit, so I'm thinking better ideas instead of bashing my head into the wall for the fourth time.
Making things more dynamic is probably better for me, anyway!

Currently looking into a new prototyping environment for most of the game's mechanics and features. Might take up until mid-November to get done?

I made some changes to the horse, and gave some attention to combat again.

Crazy how adding little animations like these just add so much more life to your game baby. What I'd give for a fuzzy friend about now...

Performance improvements and a handful of minor fixes.
I managed to get 60 FPS on a little $100 mini PC that doesn't even have a dedicated graphics card on it, how neat is that?

Multi-threading is really hard, but it's also rewarding when you've exhausted all possible optimization tricks for a single thread.
Doing things with pure data and deferring any main-thread stuff is not so bad. Just be sure you're working in the right memory space when on a separate thread!
