The whole team have been amazing and I'm very proud to get some really unique mechanics out there for everyone to play. :) [contains quote post or other embedded content]16 Mar 2026 19:43 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3mh77qwg3j22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3lzorgazpwk2pAnd... out now! Super happy to get this into Early Access where people can actually play it after being under wraps for so long.

Turns out an unrelated button was yeeting itself onto the keyboard mid-test about 50% of the time. And due to unit tests running at x100 speed, it's impossible to spot as it happens.15 Jul 2025 10:13 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltyo62jze22khttps://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3li32ov4ntk2bAn attempt at converting an arbitrary normal into a primary axis (for cubemap-alike operations) without branches. Pretty sure there's better ways of doing this but tricky to find online as I'm not sure what the 'proper' name for this op is.13 Feb 2025 16:00 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3li32ov4ntk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3lgap2uzs3k2pCome join us and make some noise!

The tiny black cube (pink arrow) has fallen off my son's 2ds and it no longer boots, so trying to fix it. I think the RF shield dislodged and knocked this component off, and possibly left a bit of it still attached.

Promising results so far from the prototype, which is a coarse voxalization followed by a bunch of raycasts for each voxel to calculate a AO intensity.01 Dec 2024 18:05 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcb767b7b22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3lbtuooweck24It's easy (and fun!) to complain about tech, especially something you use every day. So I like to celebrate the positives too. In that spirit, Unity suprised me yesterday by having a genuinely useful 3d texture preview, with a bunch of visulisation methods. Super useful for proc gen debugging!26 Nov 2024 10:53 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbtuooweck24https://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3lbsliunvps2wInteresting write from @aras-p.bsky.social on how Unity changed over the years: https://aras-p.info/blog/2024/08/11/Random-thoughts-about-Unity/ Definitely agree that the extendibility is a hidden gem that doesn't get enough credit (and is often lacking in the newer workflows like timeline).25 Nov 2024 22:36 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbsliunvps2whttps://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3lbcjnxph6k2hI love the ingenuity of these analog animation methods. They may not be directly relevant these days I still think there's a lot to be learned from 'obsolete' approaches. Plus the soft fake vector output remains very compelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cbbyNRbfd8&t=796s19 Nov 2024 13:21 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbcjnxph6k2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3l7dd7blewl2sIn anticipation of the #factorio expansion I recreated the train using what lego I had, and accidentally went down the rabbit hole of turning it into a proper 'MOC' with renders and instructions. 1/9 https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-198046/OrangyTang/basic-factorio-train/#details25 Oct 2024 10:07 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3l7dd7blewl2shttps://bsky.app/profile/daddygame.dev/post/3l753omy44x2kHello world!22 Oct 2024 22:37 +0000at://did:plc:wbttr4sqlgegr7qtaemtysen/app.bsky.feed.post/3l753omy44x2k
