Starting a new game project is hard. There's nothing there, just a blank terrain... so many things to implement!

I maintain that making games is hard. So much work to make characters walk around things and not through things. shiningrocksoftware.com/2018-10-04-thi…

I tried to use the Volume::Sphere class today and it just wasn't there. I went through the last eight years without a Sphere class in my 3d game engine. Amazing.

What's that? the dev log is being updated again? Yay! shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-01-13-sav… Oh, it's just rambling about how save games are implemented.

It's one of those days where I keep stopping what I'm doing to fix threading problems.

I love that I can just switch to art or design when I want a break from coding. Solo dev!

Long unused features of the game engine never seem to work on the first try as I bring them into use. There's always one or two minor bugs. How did they work properly the last game?

I've been working on the core system that drives the villagers for my new project. More here: shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-02-16-des…

I got a motion capture suit so I don't have to hand animated humanoids. Yay! shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-03-15-dev…

I added start walk and end walk clips to my character movement animations. Looks nicer than a straight blend into the walk cycle loop. Slightly tricky when the target location needs to be a specific place. #screenshotsaturday

Still at it. I rewrote the way my user interface works because... shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-10-05-ui-…

Sigh, I made my GPU crash today. That hasn't happened in a while. While I figure that out, here's more on my recent UI system changes. shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-10-19-ui-…

Been making my UI rendering cleaner at different resolutions. Even if my current programmer art doesn't show it off well. shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-11-05-ui-…

I added controller support to the game I'm building. Now that I can sit and play-test on the couch, will I get less done? shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-11-17-ui-…

What? How did I not write anything about my work for 5 months? Let's fix that. I've got code rot. shiningrocksoftware.com/2022-04-17-cod…
