Okay I'm just gonna post it...
I'm being a little shameless here...

Being controlled by someone whom I have a crush on in a dynamic like this is also high up there for me~

Is this what you wish of me? To be shameless? To be destructive? Self-indulgent?
As you wish~

I'm reluctant but oh so eager!

hey #portfolioday and #gamedev!
i'm a programmer with >7 years of commercial+hobby gamedev experience, across many disciplines. recently a commercial game i worked on shipped! but now i'm looking for other work to cover my bases. check out my site for other projects+contact info foreverwip.github.io

In late 2022 I was hired by GalaxyTrail under contract to work on various projects, with work centered around prototyping core game systems, integration of assets, and implementation of certain graphical effects. The first project out of this to release is Chrono Gear: Warden of Time, a hololive game published under the holo Indie label, released in September 2025. Shown here is one of my contributions, the "Stasis" ability which was adapted from a variable-timescale prototype I designed for another project. The technical design of this ability was used throughout the game for similar time-control effects.

In late 2023 I started working with STUDIO//LYNFLO offering general development assistance with their upcoming game DRAGONFRUIT: a mother's love, powered by Godot Engine. Here is just one example of what I've worked on: a dynamic shadow system that switches between realtime shadow casting and a static "directionless" shadow sprite based on distance and intensity of surrounding lights.

This is a work-in-progress full port of Sonic the Hedgehog (revision 1) for the Mega Drive to C, designed and built over the course of roughly 19 months as of April 2025.

The intent of this project is to provide a base from which the game and its mechanics can be experienced and ported to a variety of platforms, without any compromise to how the gameplay handed in the original. The version of Sonic 1 currently promoted by Sega is not a port but a remake of the original, made with a completely different game engine (in fact, it's the same Retro Engine that I've hacked on in my other hobby projects, go figure). Unlike that version, this project is built off of the original Mega Drive game's machine code, with as few changes made as possible.

All game code has been successfully converted (barring some inaccuracies my testing might not have picked up), so now all current work is centered on cleaning up the generated code, further decoupling the drawing code from the VDP, and adding additional features. In this screenshot, I demonstrate the additional features such as widescreen support and custom shaders (blurring the background to make the foreground more readable).

Screenshot of work on Sonic the Hedgehog 2 HD, a fan remake of the original game, showing a full 3D rendition of the special stage. What was once a 2D background with perspective tricks is now a full 3D scene, with objects positioned in three axes instead of two. When I first joined the team, there was already some work done on a procedural 3D renderer that generated polygons on the fly based on the original game's data, but it was very simple and offered a very limited view of the stage.

One of the main goals I wanted to achieve with the new renderer was for the player to be able to see the twists and turns of the rest of the track in the distance as they went through the stage; The main draw of the stages in the original was their 3D look and being able to look ahead of you, so it felt like a natural step forward. At the time though, the renderer was only designed to generate the track relative to where you were in it.

I ended up doing an almost complete rewrite of the renderer; I wrote my own spatial hash implementation and camera class in order to cull geometry, and rewrote our geometry generator to calculate all vertices only once at load time. Along with some extra shaders I integrated into the renderer, it provided an incomplete, but still more engaging visual demonstration of what the game could do to give a classic scene a modern coat of paint.

at some point I was like "oh wow pega is like... really good "main character" material... at first it was more of a comedy relief type of character but over many years of drawing it and a lot of other things I realized it was... the PERFECT character.......... pega has been around since 2013 btw....

You can turn off quote replies here, if they were hurt and didn't want you to do it you'd know.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

Bumping this again, hoping the right people will see it.

We don't expect a miracle, we don't expect the whole thing paid, just... anything that will soften the blow. $6,500, maybe more because the AC unit is being replaced too now. x.x
