Working on the navigation features and various items related to that still. And since I am making content again, I am also fixing some tech debt related to my toon setup. Created a base texture with my toon masks and colour palette, also created custom mip maps for it. Most objects will share this texture… Continue reading 186th – 189th day

Various thoughts of the morning
It is interesting to run into failures of design or see when you integrate two separate ideas into the same item. Making them work in a similar fashion and compliment each other can push some pressure on your pencils and brains. I am basically looking for anything that I can remove and simplify. Which I… Continue reading Various thoughts of the morning

Making more features for the navigation aspect of the programmable machines. Have reworked things quite a bit, so the overall implementation is going to be a lot simpler actually. It looks like I will remove those previous navigation UI buttons because I have made them redundant. The procedural geometric pieces are not going to get much more… Continue reading 184th – 185th day
6 months of work
I'm still working on my own stuff after 6 months, alone with 2 cats as my company. And I love it. I have never had this much fun and I never enjoyed work this much when I was actually own someones payroll. The freedom you get from running your own show does move mountains when… Continue reading 6 months of work

Programming all day and making a lot of progress. Started by fixing some Shader issues on my mac, then I got a team license for Unity so that I can properly sync up with my perforce server when working form Unity. Added better management logic for the highlighting objects to remove some redundant updating overhead.… Continue reading 179th – 181st day
176th – 178th day
My mac mini is now all dancing with my perforce/git setup and the game runs on that sad Intel graphics card. Also nice to spot the differences with minor things, such as the mouse wheel controls and some shaders that don't map correctly between the systems. The performance on that particular Intel graphics card is also… Continue reading 176th – 178th day

Got most of my source control configuring and set up done. Even checked in my first CL into this perforce/git mix. Through this git fusion, I can control from within perforce what parts of the depot I turn into .git repositories. I simply just create workspaces and git sees those as .git repositories. Isolate logical… Continue reading 175th day

I was supposed to be gunning forward with creating procedural geometry and adding features for my navigation UI, but I got sidetracked by a glaring crash bug. When I find those, I just can't ignore them and continue with some fancy feature unless I know that the crash has been removed. This crash bug had… Continue reading 169th day
168th day
Making procedural geometry and rendering the navigation mesh so the player can clearly see where he can place his little navigation nodes. But, this day was not very productive and I had a bit of a problem staying on task. Managed to pull a lower back muscle yesterday which makes certain movements a bit painful.… Continue reading 168th day

Adding more features to my navigation UI. Need to make the navigation mesh stand out and be rendered when in this mode, so you see the extends of the area you can place location nodes on. I'm not going to get lost in creating pretty icons for all those buttons just yet, or wait until… Continue reading 167th day
