Still been working on the level editor for my engine based on MonoGame. Specifically, making it possible to replace occurrences of a given texture on specific instances of a model. This is what it's all about: making it easier to do things, saving work AND adding flexibility! #gamedev #indiedev

Screenshot demonstrating replacing a specific texture on specific instances of several models. In the future I want to make it possible to apply a texture override to all instances of a model.

Another one demonstrating being able to override textures without affecting RGB-based tint, also to set scale multipliers for texture coordinates to prevent stretching or for creative effects.

I fell for this bullshit and now I can't drag my clips in to edit anything. Fuck you Jensen's Wang!

"Switch to AV1 video format for better compression and quality", they said. What they didn't say is how useless it makes the output files because nothing supports editing them 🤪👏🤪👏🤪👏🤪👏🤪👏🤪👏🤪👏🤪👏🤪👏

I swear the story told on Vektor's Terminal Redux is either a fucking prophetic allegory, or it's literally become the bible of the most sick-minded (derogatory) techbros.

Lyrics of Vektor's Liquid Crystal Disease:
"You choose a page; we’ll pick apart your brain
We track your eyes with our cameras; we see your pupils dilate

Subliminal are the ways that we tame you
You’re feeling proud of what you have consumed

Parasites of technology
Addicted to our LCD screens
Molded and sleek to gain your trust
Now give yourself to us

Have them screened (x3)
Liquid crystal disease

Intangible cyber life
Too complacent to look outside
We are shaping the world
While we stay out of…

Parasites of technology
Your addiction is a disease
No regrets of a wasted life
You cannot touch what you see

Death, seems the only way
That you will even stray
Think upon what you’ve lost
As we archive your thoughts

I can use your remorse
To steer my ship on its course
Open the Oculus
Fear Cygnus, fear Cygnus
You can have claim to grounds
Of Enocules I have found
If you report to me
Morbid mastery….. is yours

I turn the screens on Cygnus
The cameras reading their eyes
Affixed to every device
They can tell no lies

Freedom of choice within
What you are given
No choice outside the small
World that you live in"

Been working a lot on the model and level editor for my engine named EZEngine based on MonoGame recently, so here's a little sneak peek over lunchtime. Plus some absolutely cursed code! #gamedev #indiedev

Screenshot of my work in progress level editor with the menu open on editing a placed model. This is developed in ENIGMA, an open-source implementation of old Game Maker versions.

Screenshot of the IDE LateralGM I work in to make the previously pictured editor. The similarity to older Game Maker versions is very visible here.

Foxide@wtfoxide· Apr 3

Yep, that'll do it

The same area as previously screenshotted and more, now showing fixed "tesselation" by using the midpoint to cut triangles in half twice rather than once

Foxide@wtfoxide· Apr 3

Tried to make a custom property to split tris on models for better lighting, by cutting from the longest edge to the point not along that line, however aside from other problems it doesn't work as I didn't factor in that the tris might not always share the same longest edge!

A screenshot of my test level for EZEngine (made with MonoGame) showing that the triangles don't always split in a way that the vertices align 💩

Foxide@wtfoxide· Apr 3

Is that headline not outrage bait though? Are we really going to pretend it isn't? Maybe I could pay to find out, but why would I when that headline could come from any tabloid?

Paywall on iNews: "World War 3 is closer than you think. And Britain is still half asleep
They want your outrage. We want your trust. £1 for 3 months."
If it isn't outrage bait then it's definitely over-sensationalized. Why would I pay for a news outlet with, at minimum, manipulative and fearmongering article titles?

EZEngine development is still coming along steadily as I work towards feature parity with the ENIGMA FPS I was making. Colision detection and resolution is pretty challenging though. github.com/mbillington9...

Screenshot of the test map in my game engine EZEngine, based on MonoGame. As of the last screenshot, raycasts now determine whether directional light is blocked by collision volumes, and point light data is now loaded although the point lights are yet to have the intended effect.

Foxide@wtfoxide· Mar 26

No, it uses ENIGMA enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Ma... like old Game Maker, but open-source and compiles to C++. It will be the most basic tool for creating EZEngine levels and models, but already working on an easier tool for 3D

Screenshot of the simple 3D model editor in P13DDK, in which new models can be made by combining existing models made outside of P13DDK in PolyOne3 Pro

Foxide@wtfoxide· Mar 25

I just published the first publicly available source of my 3D game engine built on MonoGame, EZEngine! github.com/mbillington9... First time making a public GitHub repository as well.

Screenshot from the FPS prototype project used to test my game engine based on MonoGame. Axis-aligned bounding boxes for models and developer-defined collision volumes are outlined in yellow.

Rawdogging a first-person shooter camera from scratch with MonoGame. I dread to think how much worse this would be if I tried to adapt it to a noclip camera. Why must that be so much harder?? Forgive me for this mess.

Previously posted an FPS I'd been working on as a techdemo, recently I've been working on a 3D dev kit for it that brings it all together with my 2D level editor PolyOne. Will probably release this publicly at some point, maybe open source in some part too. #gamedev deets in alt text

A screenshot of the 3D development kit I've been making for my own tools and FPS game, all developed with ENIGMA and LateralGM (FOSS tools based on older versions of Game Maker). This is in level viewer mode with an RTS-like camera and shows off an incomplete level, but with relatively complex geometry for the tech. The level was made in my tool PolyOne (available on itch.io) out of a combination of raw triangle lists and my own model placement & instantiation system that supports, scaling, Z rotation and skewing on the Z axis. My vertex color -based lighting system that supports colored point lights and directional lighting is also showcased. Still to reimplement from the FPS I posted earlier (unofficially named ENIGMABALLS) is smooth lighting support for rounded surfaces. All of this stuff will be used as the jumping off point for an additional level editor mode which will allow placement and modifying properties of models, lights and level properties such as directional light colour & vector, players spawn position etc.

Another screenshot of the same 3D devkit, but this time in a model builder mode, with a few random models strewn about. Key to this is that it gives the ability to create new models by combining existing models, which can then be reused in new models and so on, recursively. You could theoretically build a chair out of basic shapes then have it gib into its separate models when destroyed. Every placed submodel can have its own independent Z rotation XYZ scaling, with plans for the ability to substitute textures for each placed model and take advantage of the Z skewing capability mentioned in the alt text of the previous screenshot. Both levels and models use the JSON-like JSV format that my 2D editor works with and allows working with raw triangle lists to build level and model geometry from scratch.
The rocky texture way below is a remnant from an as yet unhandled triangle list within some models that represents collision volumes...

This has to be rage bait. You can't call an investment that invariably burns 10x the amount of money that's put into it a gold rush.

I don't usually post WIPs 'cause they aren't much to look at since I do my art with a mouse, so please go easy on me! New OC! A midnight lycanroc-dragon hybrid lady! Obviously much work needed yet and subject to change. Not sure what to do with her color wise yet. #furry #furryart #furryartwork

work in progress digital sketch & linework of a female midnight lycanroc-dragon hybrid, she has a fairly pear-shaped build with comparatively modest chest and slender waist. She has a dragon tail and the layered scale sorta thing going on down the front of her abdomen, drag wings and one horn visible, but the other one is obscured by the characteristic midnight lycanroc hairstyle, and she also has the side spike things that curl around from behind her back. She also has a small dragon-like snout but dog ears. She's stood with her hips bent slightly, smiling, one arm straight with the hand incomplete while the other is bent, palm and fingers facing out slightly towards the viewer.

The last time I did soft shading was YEARS ago and I used to do it with all kinds of shortcuts. Not this time! Was hoping for my next art post to be something entirely new rather than more refsheet brainrot but at least this has something new. #furry #furryart #furryartwork

Digital soft shaded art of my fursona Cyan Thornclaw. They're a foxcat with light blue and white fur, with medium-length blue hair, wearing a grey tee that hangs off one shoulder with the text "not a fox", denim shorts and black and purple thigh high socks with the toes of their digitgrade paws poking out. Accessories include silicone wristbands in the colors of the enby flag, necklaces and a small khaki crossbody bag. They're stood against abstract background inspired by metalheart and related early internet aesthetics.

My fursona Cyan, having just delivered a fresh batch of plant-based, magic-infused medicines! @jeykuto.bsky.social captured the aesthetic of my character beautifully. He needs money for a medical treatment so please consider donating to him if you can't spare for a commission! #furry #furryartwork

Cyan Thornclaw, an anthro arctic fox & cat hybrid with light blue & white fur and blue neck-length hair, sits on the edge of a pickup flatbed messing with their phone. The background includes a cabin with fence around nearby and pine tree, with more trees in the distance. Cyan is wearing: denim shorts; purple and black, striped, toeless thigh highs; a grey top that hangs off one shoulder with the white text "not a fox" on; silicone wristbands in the colors of the non-binary flag, some necklaces and a small khaki-colored crossbody bag.

Foxide@wtfoxide· Aug 15

Was never entirely happy with the perfect side view of my character Cyan's head on my refsheet, so I've been redoing it. But when cropped to an icon, something about it doesn't quite look right, something to do with the neck maybe? Advice would be welcome #furry #furryart #furryartwork

Foxide@wtfoxide· Aug 11

Looks like he's admiring the view, and not the one behind him! 🫵 LONG overdue coloured sketch, I wanted to end the series of them with something special, though I never anticipated how long and how much work this background would take! For Deram on FA #furry #furryart #furryartwork

Digital colored sketch of an anthro wolf-ram hybrid with grey and slightly purple-tinted blue fur and black hair reaching to his eyes. He's sitting on a tree stump and smirking towards the viewer with his head turned slightly upwards for somewhat of a smug expression overall. He has one arm resting on his backpack while his other hand holds a can of mountain dew. He's wearing a black choker, blue pants and black mostly-fingerless gloves. The background is a detailed rocky mountain partially-covered with snow in the far distance against a blue sky, with hills covered in grass and various evergreens in the midground, and with a river or lake between that and the subject. The whole image has a white border which some elements of the background spill over beyond to the very edge of the image.

I can't help but be kind of mad when a person finally shows up and has time to play games but not for a single response about the $300 I paid them for a sketch page 3 years ago and seen nothing of 😑 They are allegedly a fursuiter and have almost 3.5k followers so hardly an obvious scammer

Discord screenshot of me sending messages to a user, dated 26th of July 2025
I message at 12:57 saying "Hey, hope things are going well with you. You still good to do the sketch page or is it going to be better for you to refund me :')"
and a further message at saying 19:34 saying "I know life gets hard and I saw you'd been through shit I couldn't imagine going through so I don't want to be confrontational about this, but if you could just tell me if or why you can't work on it yet that would be great"

Foxide@wtfoxide· May 29

I just can't help myself when it comes to backgrounds, I really shouldn't be spending so much time on this much detail when it's a free piece, but the inner perfectionist won't accept anything less. Cropped because spoilers

Cropped, incomplete part of a background from a digital halfbody colored sketch I'm working on. Visible is a small hill covered in numerous pine trees, bushes and other vegetation, with a body of water closer to the foreground.

Foxide@wtfoxide· May 11

Update on the #gamedev, added support for point lights and colored lights to my FPS engine built on ENIGMA! It's all static and based on vertex colors so far, no shaders. Does lead to limitations, but a slightly Doom 64-ish aesthetic, which I like. Textures from the old Cube FPS.

Screenshot of an incomplete, sci-fi architectured incomplete test level from my FPS game, overlooking a lower area and displaying red, white and blue colored point lights. The level geometry is made with my own, separate level editor which supports a custom model format and skewing models vertically when placed in the level. The lighting is just vertex lighting, but calculated at runtime using dynamically calculated normals, and the kind of math you would use in shaders even though it's not shader code (linear falloff distance)

Closeup of the area with the blue lighting from the previous screenshot, with some white lights also visible to the left and right. It's rather obvious here that the lighting is only vertex lighting and that there are no raycasts for shadows yet, as the white light reaches areas where it shouldn't with a better lighting system.

Foxide@wtfoxide· Apr 21

Bonus screenshots. It's not much, but it's a lot more than could be achieved with the built-in level editors and functions of Game Maker. I might make this open source, but... The code is ugly, this was only ever meant to be a tech demo for the level editor I made.

A screenshot of another incomplete level from my FPS made with ENIGMA, showing a stone path flanked by grass and a terrace on stone walls, with stairs leading up between. Ahead of the stairs are more stone walls and a short corridor that doesn't seem to lead to anything visible.

Screenshot of a different point of view in the same level from the previous image, standing on the terrace rather than below it. This one shows cliffs in the distance past the other side of the terrance and the more enclosed space with the stairs, grass and path.

Foxide@wtfoxide· Apr 21

And solved. The code to copy model collision volumes into the correct position and rotation was being skipped because of an uninitialized variable lmao. Oh also models can be skewed vertically in how I set this up, that's how the walls of the sloped parts are made, it's neat I guess

Follow up to the previous two screenshots of my FPS game, now there are wireframe triangles around the areas they were previously missing because of models being used with the code not setting up model collision volumes up correctly.

Foxide@wtfoxide· Apr 21

Well that's a start. I had a switch to render collision volumes wireframe, and this proves collision volumes in models aren't being set up correctly for some reason.

Screenshot of the same incomplete FPS game from the previous post, this time with many surfaces outlined in white triangles which displays collision volumes. A ring-shaped area to the right is clearly missing collision volumes.

Foxide@wtfoxide· Apr 21

Found a version of an FPS I was working on from before 2 disk drive failures took out some work, but model collisions are broken and I don't know where to even begin looking for where the problem is, it's so over (lessons learned I guess)
