Did another one, getting hooked now :D still long way to go, but i think with this one Im starting to get a better sense of scale
Hand painted cliff practice from a couple of days ago - first time doing textures like this #3dart #handpainted
Added animations, some inertia, also running, this is going to be good enough for the time being, needed a template i could reuse later on #screenshotsaturday #unity
capsule has to go, temporary character does the trick for the time being
got some inspiration today, gonna make a controler for this fella #gamedev
When comparing numbers, they must feel like Jay-Z when he said this -
Random sketches from yesterday, been enjoying doodling during meetings
It found it's home in our stairwell! Big thanks to @nauris.bsky.social 🙌
And the result! There is a little bit more travel to it so it's a bit more clicky than the original and I like it way more now 🙌
Final fiting on the board, I was excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel 🤩
Made a makeshift part myself, I think that metal part will be much better than the original
Two hours later, after cutting the driver tip off and loosing it in our basement , we got back to business and started cutting some match sticks to accommodate the shape of the trackball
Took a moment to figure out you can take it out, once I did me and my daughter went on a scavenger hunt around the house looking for a thing that might fit there, got a IFixit kit so I tried all the bits, since my wife was out for groceries, I asked her to get a torx screwdriver lol, here is the one
Should have taken a picture before I glued the little thing, but the very tippy part broke off, and to be fair 4 years is a decent time, but kind of felt like if anything would break it's that and that button is essential. Took a moment to figure that it's all one piece
Yesterday had a fun adventure, the trackball of our remote broke and fell inside. Made a day out of it 🧵
Last two years have been trying to reinvent myself with learning to code , building tools, going back to how things are planed, structured, so I can make small games that are packed with cool content. Here is a gif of a early experiment last year :)
if the actual mesh doesnt matter that much, sometime i cheat with Marvelous lol
