I’m imagining that was intended as a foothold, the guy (still choking) being dragged out of the hole with the other guy’s response being a mix of “not again” and “you need a drop for that to work as intended”
I can’t see your reply on my instance, @tal (currently 1 day ago, still not federated) so not sure if you will see this (or if you do, if I’ll see your 2nd reply…). EDIT: I forgot the first when I first posted, so I don’t know if it actually worked as a mention
One was kicked off by someone generating polygonal-style art
It’s visually striking (if you don’t look too closely), the 1st bonus image is best but I’d still go with a more minimal style. That and aside from hallucination, I would prefer live-rendered polygons. Infinite scalability is the point.
Here’s something I made a while ago, animated eye (note: on my end, Imgur links don’t work unless viewed in private mode for whatever reason) though a full game with that style is not currently viable for me for multiple reasons (the feature is 4.X only and still an unmerged PR that may not perform well enough for common use, no Nim-lang bindings yet in 4.X).
Carrier Command 2?
I was confused at first, that style of 3D polygonal isn’t really uncommon. I don’t really buy things (esp not $30 level) and I need a hobby so that’s a part of it too*. For 3D art I’ve done, one of my threads is federated to your instance. Here’s the stuff that didn’t (these have no textures, only vertex colors):
Note the 1st and last show a white background in a new tab but the background is transparent (and show as such on Kbin).
*= I mean I have seen some games that have a nice aesthetic, even better if they’re more “real” with it (though that is what’s hard to find)
I was worried the remaster would take some of this away, but it looked just as good.
The PS2 version looks great after upping the internal res (not sure how much other stuff like filtering/other technicals has an effect). I haven’t compared it, but like most remasters I’m going to just say the data bloat is probably not worth potential fidelity improvements. That and I’d guess any design issues are still baked in, thus similar experience.
EDIT: In Okami’s case I don’t know if the data size is due to uncompressed files or just due to higher-res pre-rendered videos, but either seems wasteful to me. What is live-rendered and what is pre-rendered just seems arbitrary to me, I’d get if it weren’t viable on older hardware but you’d think a remaster could handle it mostly in-engine.
For me it’s definitely maintenance, largely because my internet is not that fast (~6-8Mbps shared among other people) but also I think package management in general leaves a lot to be desired. Some of it might be better on a new install (or listed in the wiki and I just don’t feel like bothering to do the work) though.
The problem is that they overlap, usually all 3 interlocked. The threads/microblogs I’ve tried barely get responses (again, federation may be an issue), let alone even answers for even something like Blender. I can use Nim w/o art but I don’t have the ideas for it usually (or if I do other issues happen, including just lacking the desire to write for something like a game book).
I’ve mostly waited for something to improve, but a while ago I started my own simple polygon loader/format and I worked a bit more on that today. I think I made one of my own questions irrelevant (assuming my condition to detect strip vs. fan is correct) and added a couple of other improvements. I don’t think it’s at a point I’d share it, but I probably could (should) try to make a simple game with it soon.
Though I’d rather have 3D in Raylib (vertex colors not working with Nim bindings, Naylib) or more advanced 2D in Godot 4 (no Nim-lang bindings, and said feature is an unmerged PR that may not be performant enough for full game art).
My niche interests.
- Nim-lang (this has some activity here, though I often have federation issues)
- Raylib
- low-poly+untextured polygonal art and vertex colors (both 2D and 3D)
I don’t really consider myself an artist or a programmer (I haven’t done much), maybe there’s a fediverse instance that could work for me but it’s probably too niche even just with those communities.
Well yeah, but mostly due to lacking any chance and I’m a shut-in (who probably has SzPD). Also time has already made a fool of me.
I want to use Raylib, but mentioning it here on the fediverse doesn’t get much of a response (I can’t see a raylib community from my instance). My choice of language probably doesn’t help, though.
My first issue is wanting vertex colors on 3D models and I am not getting this (this may be a problem with the bindings I’m using, naylib(nim-lang)). The second would be needing guidance for the 2D polygon text loader that I started.
Maybe I could make simple GUI applications with raygui, but I don’t currently really have many viable ideas on what I would want to make.
To OP: Another potential option is using Godot w/bindings. Design is pretty fast and flexible, then using signals is super easy.
I’ve tested some frameworks (specific to my language, so not really helpful to most), the one that I liked more said it was declarative user interface framework based on GTK though I would prefer a similar thing for Qt and there wasn’t an ability to automatically scale text size to better fill the available button size (I was testing an adventure-book reader and hoping to use unicode characters).
Frameworks for single page applications (or some other browser-based tech) might be ok for simple stuff. Similarly, I’ve liked the idea of TUI frameworks (yeah, because htop) but haven’t really tried that yet.
If potential is key, I say keep the context of the MAID process but instead of outright death make it cryonics. Plus other potential relevant volunteer stuff and organ donation stuff lined up. Even if the initial cryonics technique is not even close to viable, other stuff could be transformative. If cryonics has any chance to work, things will get appreciably better in 300-or-so years right?
Hopeful worst is my brain in a jar mostly playing VR and sometimes knitting yarn via robotic arms. Lots of ways it could be better. Also unlike traditional cyborg stuff with all-machine life-support, I would like to still have a complex microbiome if not taking it further with symbiosis.
