game developer, made wow.exporthttps://bsky.app/profile/kruithne.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/kruithne.bsky.social/post/3mrxfq5yfcs26I've been a little lost in space lately... TL;DR: new job, new projects, and locking in a new direction for the game. I've posted an update on my devlog for the curious!31 Jul 2026 16:45

disadvantages instead, utilizing the pre-baked distance textures we can get much higher fidelity, while still remaining cheap enough to render an entire map at 60+ FPS #wow #warcraft10 May 2026 15:24

minimap textures on to the terrain. not great close-up but for massive shots of the entire continent it's great to see things (and it's cheap & efficient) #wow #warcraft10 May 2026 08:24

be tuned with a simple three point start->mid->end curve I could extend this to a full curve editor but why? this gives enough flexibility for anything I'd want with interpolation #gamedev
