One day I will remember which of these I need without first selecting the wrong one. Today is certainly not that day.

Alright, time to look up how much this extremely impressive film that featured *so many* extras, horses, armour, sets, and all tha-
Right. Righto. Sure. Yeah. Money is so fake. Hollywood money is doubly fake.

I'm watching Ran, and I'm not sure any other movie has loved the sky as much as this one.

It needs a scale, and the usual visual polish (and some tweaking on the maths), but with some help from a friend (because I forgot how to maths) I've set up a little graph that will show you how the luck stat affects your odds of rolling certain numbers.

As someone who judges episodes of The Pitt based purely on the quality of faces made, this was a good day in Da Pitt.

Bare minimum functionality on adding and removing units is in, it would be nice to support drag & drop, but I simply do not want to think about that right now.
This already took much longer to set up than it should have for one simple reason: I am dumb.

Alright, combat system & unit abilities are pretty much working, now I just have to actually connect it to the main part of the game (easy), put in the set-up phase (not easy), stop dead units from attacking (easy), and *checks notes* make it not look like total shit? Blehhhhhhhh.

Oh yeah, that's the stuff, throw it in a function so that nobody has to see your sins.

"Okay Sean, this is a new project, a chance to start from scratch with nice neat blueprints that you think through from the start. You can do this!"

Working on a little combat mini-game for this pseudo-townbuilder, and I decided to try and set some widget animations programatically.
And you can guarantee that when vectors are involved I'm going to fuck up the orientation.

I'm currently dog sitting for my not-quite-in-laws, and it turns out Winston the Schnauzer is quite a different dog to sit compared to Fig the Greyhound.

I wasn't quite convinced of this soldier guys' voice, as I thought it was too flat for EDF, but he's won me over.

I made a first attempt at this that was *rough* and too high poly, so here's my second go, trying to make a more classic aussie burger.

An interesting cowinkydink: Chapter 680 of Naruto features this line about your body just moving on its own (to protect people). This released at the end of June 2014.
The following week saw the first chapter of My Hero Acadamia which features the same action, and says it's the essence of heroism.

Managed to get a "tile purchasing" sort of a system working. It piggy-backs off the upgrade system, so when you click on an unavailable tile it spawn an invisible "building" with the upgrade widget attached.

Okay, noting that my specialty is "hacky shit" not clean solutions, I based this material off the default "Decal Material." Mip value mode on the texture samplers needs to be "derivative" & the texture assets need to have MipGen settings set to "No Mipmaps."

Okay, good news, you play a game, it reaches the end and then it gives you a score.
Bad news, it's not good at maths or explanations, and I forgot to turn text wrapping on.
Other bad news, I think I need like three more types of buildings before I can tell if there's actually a game here or not.

Whoops, I exported a build of this town builder to see if it worked, and I may have gotten my resolution settings *slightly* wrong.

Because this is just a prototype, I'm currently using the ~third worst system imaginable to handle the "terrain." I have an actor that spawns planes in a grid, based on the entries in one single array.
To change a tile's type I just guess its location in the array and manually change the variable.

It's ugly as heck right now, but as a two-day project I've thrown together a prototype for a little town-builder incremental. It needs a lot of polish and balancing, plus a mechanic or two, but I'm happy with how it's progressing.

It's an *incredibly stupid* bit, but I really enjoy Sasuke returning after 3 years and however many murders and being like "I'll be hokage."
