i published a first version of my browser puzzle/platform game (+ level editor). you can play it for free (w/a keyboard) at boxtype.app. levels are encoded in the url; if you make something you like you can share it with anyone

i'd love to hear what you think!

i can't help but feel like the severity of CEO brain is escalating faster and faster across the board

presumably you are allowed sharp objects if you tie them to a string and tow them behind you

i'm sorry :(

make that "moderately good at the computer"

opengl view of a rather broken raytraced scene. the scene is just a floor with tiles, and we see them reflected and glitched in ceiling/walls

ncnvrgnt @inconvergent.net · 1d

in hindsight i probably should have had at least one other skill than "good at the computer"

if somebody wants to give me a lot of money, i promise to make something utterly and completely useless

the intern is wearing two pairs of sunglasses at the Alternative Office of Geometry today

a line with a yellow, cyan, magenta, dark and white block of glass. light shining in through columns on the right side. reflective white/black tiles. traces of volumetric light

(i fixed several more issues with the volume light. and now it's starting to work as intended ...)

it's amazing how many products you can get these days that do not have AI in them

"elon said [x]" type reporting is probably the reason for about 45 % of all our current problems

i've been trying to explain why there is so much white fog on the right side here. there is an opening between the horizontal plate and the wall. but it seems to magnify light somehow ..

1:1 crop of a moderately noisy rendering showing the side of a pavilion with bright light inside. some (too much) foggy light leaking out between wall and ceiling on right side.

oh good. something bad is happening somewhere else as well. i was beginning to worry

the daylight side is too bright to visit without protective gear today

yellow, cyan, magenta, nearly black and a white tall glass blocks in line inside a long room with reflective tiles. bright light streaming in through columns in the upper right. some artifacts from CA in glass

in hindsight, maybe tethering everyone to the machine that feeds on reason wasn't the best idea

the night side of the alternative office of geometry is illuminated by the day side

bright light illuminates the inside of a building with columns. we see it from the dark side. there are bright tiles inside. reflective ice in front and a magenta back lit diffuse background

ncnvrgnt @inconvergent.net · 4d

for pondering, but safer (at a distance)

glass orb in the middle of a structure with columns on both sides. we see in through columns on one side. orb is lit from behind by light from outside on the other side of the building. shiny tiles

Some recent work done for a game i'm developing [OC] r/brutalism

ncnvrgnt @inconvergent.net · 5d

the (most recent) Alternative Office of Geometry has issued another orb alert. status: CYAN

an orb lit from behind by warm light streaming in through columns from above/outside. the orb is partially reflective with a cool tint. reflective tiles. volumetric light visible outside/in background in particular

some of us are posting through this much harder than others

seems bad

it didn't say anything in the paperwork about it being a portal between night and day. this is going to be such a headache for someone, who hopefully isn't me
