What? You can see this? Cool!
I'm a professional UI designer / programmer working on an indie game in my free time. I also do a lot of 3D modeling.

There is 1 piece of middleware still in the game, and I'm working on removing it / implementing the feature myself. No more closed systems. Keep the code where I can see it.

New bug: Arcade cabinets restore your health when you exit a minigame. I'm tempted to keep this in.

I ran into a weird performance issue. For some reason, the level 1 scene would drop frames, but only after the level was cleared. The source didn't seem to be drawcalls or code. It turns out it was the NPC animation trees. Too many of them run constantly. So now I turn them off when they'e far away.

I've been drawing lately. I needed concept art for some NPCs. Normally I draw on paper, but I decided to try using a tablet again. Most of the time I can never get the linework right. But this week I discovered the smooth stroke tool.
...This thing has been here the whole time and no one told me.

I kind of went into focus mode and lost track of time. But also, all of the programming for the level 2 mechanics are finished. Soon it will be back to environment and character modeling.

I've shown this effect before, but there's something else that's cool about it. There's nothing stopping me from placing these fake windows in front of walls. This is how the doors to other maps work. I didn't model any openings.

When learning to make skyboxes I discovered that I could export a single cloud. I use those cloud textures to make it look like the game's environment is on top of them. It really helps sell the floating city setting.
