Over the last week I've been going through all the Unicode math symbols (for a project you'll hopefully get to see soon, I promise this isn't what I do for fun) And when was somebody going to tell me this was in Unicode

Managed to get a prototype of the lightning weather effect working The beams still need to be replaced with nice fork shapes of course but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it! #gamedev #vr

Lightning effect now procedurally generates a couple different lightning-shaped meshes and picks between them at random Also added the ability to fully customize the distance and frequency! #gamedev #vr

The finished shader for representing bodies of water/liquid in LMOD's art style! It now uses internally generated perlin noise which loops perfectly so there aren't any hard seams in it anymore #gamedev #vr

Believe it or not this is actually the start of weather effects like snow and rain 😅 (It's all the particles stacked up on top of each other in the middle of the screen)

First steps towards a working macOS version of SteamVR, running on Apple M-Series. Headset is displaying but tracking isn't working yet.

This may be the weirdest looking bug I've ever had #gamedev

My new weather effects are starting to look like snow! Really, really fast snow 😅 #gamedev #vr

At last, a working weather particle effect! Looks about right for snow or ash to me One down, three to go #gamedev #vr

The particles are also influenced by the flow velocity of the air (or water) they're in, so you can do this! #gamedev #vr

Testing out the new "cloud" weather effect to create a sandstorm I'm afraid you're going to have to imagine it in motion because I spent half an hour trying to get a video of it to compress well and failed miserably😭 #gamedev #vr

Long time no custom VR headset updates Ran into a bit of trouble (translation: I made a mistake and the board had to be redone) but manufacturing is now complete! Testing phase will begin soon #vr

Woops, accidentally made a warp effect with my latest bit of procedural geometry

The atmosphere of my game ! P.S. Sound on, that's a nice dark ambient melody I have there.

RIB highway.

Another fun C++ trick I found You can do this to create a polymorphic class which only allows type-aware copies, without having to write out an assignment operation for every field!

Not super happy with it but here's the final version of the wind streamer effect, supposed to visually communicate high winds Suggestions for improvements appreciated #gamedev #vr

Finally, lighting can now influence weather effects! The yellow color on the rain here is reflected from the sky, perfect for a cyberpunk aesthetic #gamedev #vr
