For the first time in about 7 years I'm allowed to talk about the game I'm working on at that point. Freedom feels so strange.
If early-3d retro FPSs sound up your alley, Auroch will be putting out Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! (the ! is very important) next year.

I'm sure this is rage bait but cannot express how badly I think this guy should actually build this house, because I desperately want to take a tour of it and see how fucked it is. let it stand as a monument to the actual quality of chatgpt

Following yesterday's blender escapades I have spent all day trying to drop Blueprint nodes onto links to try to get them to automatically connect in the middle... Guess that's a whole set of muscle memory fudged

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

I'm going through doing a reread of bits of the unreal animation docs for a project and chuckling at "the skeleton tree displays the Skeletal Hierarchy", "Bone Manipulation", and the like.

okay - trying again with the mirror game; don't know if I'm going to keep the planar + snell's law approach, but it will work for now!

I've heard some Silksong takes (hot or otherwise), and noticed a trend of saying "Team Chery does X" when describing a pattern in the game, instead of "The Game does X". I feel like there's a line where things get attributed to the studio and not the game.
Anyone have any clues where/why that is?
