2026-10-30T23:52:40Z

I am slowly getting things sorted. It's weird to wake up in the morning, bracing to face the recent panic/anxiety-inducing thing and... it's not there. But it should be! Maybe I am still too sleepy to remember. Yet it doesn't show up.

Same feeling like waking up from a nightmare.

I wonder if the sadness will disappear one day, too. I can work on my problems, I can work on myself... but that space remains broken.

2026-10-28T11:13:49Z

20 years ago I bought a Wii. I remember asking the clerk "Don't I need a memory card?"
He laughed "Nah. Internal memory!"
I knew then this system wouldn't last as long as those that came before.

Flash forward to today, some folks discover their WiiU's with corrupted firmware.

Whether this happens because the NAND wasn't powered for too long or just reached the end of life cycles doesn't matter.

What matters is that this is why emulation is important.

People keep saying how the UbiSoft logo looks like a pile of crap seen from above. That's fair. But did you notice how there's no color, no shading and the vector lines don't connect properly on the top left and center?

This isn't a logo. It's a poop of concept at best.

2026-10-25T10:36:45Z

Making Marble Game's connector-snapping system work as one might expect and feel intuitive can be tricky.

Once you move a part around, all connectors wanna see if they found a partner and snap to the best one.

For that I need to use a proposed position - where the player wants to move the part to. If I'd use real position, the part wouldn't be able to break off an established connection. Simple enough. But you can also snap by pointing to another connector. That changes everything again.

It's sad that not all voice actors could return to voice the new scenes in the Switch 2 version of Xenoblade 2, but Feliks Mathur, the new actor for Zeke, is doing a GREAT job to capture the original performance. If you'd told me if was the same guy, just 9 years older, I'd almost believe it.

But I am also super insecure.

2026-10-24T13:14:59Z

Since I started making this game, placing and aligning things floating around in space has been pain.

So I've been working on more intelligent snapping, added alignment lines, displays for part position and rotation and all together, things are getting better. :)

Been kinda hot and cold over my recent UX changes on Marble Game... but I think I'll be keeping them. Showing the positions of a part is less useful than I hoped, but it's another data point and since it lives in the corner of the HUD, it's not causing any harm either.

2026-10-22T15:11:33Z

Considering the slop flood of the Steam Next Fest, I would now reconsider publishing my game on Steam and just go with GOG and itch instead, had I not already paid the publishing fee.
Cause at this point am I really gonna reach a bigger audience on a platform that just gets SWAMPED in garbage?

2026-10-21T23:53:41Z

More UX improvements for Marble Game. Game now shows position along with rotation of a part. And directly on HUD where it's less obtrusive.

Now I gotta think of a way to indicate that position/rotation can be relative to a connector - which is helpful for aligning, so I wanna point it out.

That said, the original game is so inextricably linked to that moment in my life, my heart and the N64, I can already tell the Remake won't replace it. And that's okay.

2026-10-19T17:48:58Z

Even tho I make a running gag about how I don't use signals (i.e. events) in Godot, even when I should, I am only half-serious. They're handy shipping info between systems that aren't closely related/connected. I always think of ships signalling over distance.

But even more importantly, they teach me better design. Cause I still am bad designing systems where states change in such an organized order. So I still sometimes get redundant signals. Challenges me to reconsider and that's great.

Specifically giving the player a different moving speed while moving parts around. Moving slower makes sense there. But I also got a Speed Shift (Run) key. Ideally you could configure ALL these settings - in danger of intimidating new players.

2026-10-12T17:25:16Z

I like the Heart-To-Heart system in #Xenoblade 2 more than 1. For starters: Party members have a talk and you get to to chose responses. in X1, there were only responses responses which raised or lowered Affinity between members. In X2 there are no "wrong" responses. Just different affinity rewards.

One response may increase trust with party member, the other with your Blade. Granted, sometimes one reward is greater than the other, but it's - far as I can tell and remember - always a win-win.

Instead of developing Marble Game today, I just played and tried to come up with anything else that could improve part placement.

I decided to keep the connector guide lines. They do help, albeit not as much as I'd hoped. I'll also add movement speed setting while moving parts.

Aside that, I can only try and recommend new players to move around and look at things from different angles while they build.

I dunno if my efforts were enough. I can only wait and see cause I'm out of ideas.

It's this fantasy steampunk-y world that has some ancient advanced civilization salvaging and then you got those characters - Blades - that look like they could be protagonists of their own anime/game and sometimes are.

Pair that with funny-off-the-rails-Anime shifting to serious on a dime and it completes the tonal whiplash.

After all, as long as you play below 120 FPS, there will be frames where physics tick twice. And whether that happens in all frames or every other doesn't matter.

Tonight while testing my snap joint system rework, I encountered another issue:

When joints (dis)connect based on proximity, I use a "proposed transform", based on there the player points the object. Otherwise it would be impossible to sever a connection.

Problem being: When moving multiple parts together that were already connected (but technically don't have to be), that detection function went completely nuts because proposed, interpolated and snapped transforms never matched as expected.

One thing I like about cyberpunk in Anime is that there are Megastructures that can make the rest of the city look completely flat.

I don't really enjoy games where there is no clear goal except those you set yourself.

Hence I have spent over 3 years of my life making a game that has no goal except the ones you set yourself.

Once again rolling the credits on #Xenoblade. Onwards to Future Connected! After I wipe away all those tears that "Beyond the Sky" tends to bring.

This weekend I am prototyping some more alignment options for Marble Game as per a wonderful suggestion from a good friend of mine.

It works best if I tie this into the snap joint system... but I half-assed that one. So before this all works I gotta full-ass it.

I am really tempted to start an Open Source project again and put it on GitHub... just so I can tell all those Claude Co-Authors to go fuck themselves once they reach out to me.

I'm almost at the end of the main story of #xenoblade 1 Switch 2 Edition. Been really enjoying it and for grinding materials and side quests, the ether jets have been useful.

Future Connected soon!!! Soon as I trash some lvl99 monsters that is.

Maybe I should make a Desktop environment using Godot just so I can use Godot's theme editor to make customization of the whole UI a breeze.

Question to the #godotengine gurus out there:
For my game I probably need some additional alignment lines in the world to aid the player placing things.

But since there might be hundreds of them, showing all would be overkill.

Ideally I'd like to show them once they are in players field of view up to 2-3m depth.

But how?

Visibility Range is based on distance to aabb center - not good for long lines.
And Shader might just render pixels up to 3m - not the whole thing.

I'd be mad that the delivery date of the physical version of the Switch 2 Edition Xenoblade 2 has been delayed. But since I decided to replay Xenoblade 1 where I now have about a week worth of playtime left, that's actually perfect.

New Month, new quarter. It's book keeping day.

I keep all my books in the cabinets I also use for DVDs. Since most books I buy are soft covers, they fit perfectly. For some reason my accountant was very confused.

2026-09-29T18:14:18Z

I wonder if I should make a very simple custom control class for Godot that has a simple "set_visibility" function that will just modulate between white and transparency before actually changing the visibility boolean. For things like confirmation prompts that are just activated quickly, this may be handy.

2026-09-29T17:49:34Z

The next big thing I wanna tackle for Marble Game is improving part placement. Ever since I began development on the game, it's been hard to tell whether two pieces line up properly or just visually - since you don't have proper depth perception.

It's been a tough nut to crack since the game isn't tile based nor do you just put things on the floor.

Joint snapping has made things a LOT better, but that's not the answer to all building techniques.

Second: I know you got your own Ko-Fi page I know times are rough for lots of folks and judging from your posts... please don't feel obligated, okay? I do appreciate it a lot, but only if you can spare it, yeah?

I'm lucky to be back on a gig atm... sure, everyone wants me to install Claude, but so far nobody's forcing me, yet, so I don't wanna complain. :)

Sometimes gamedev is when you have a player which has a component that can interact with things and so triggers a ui to pop up on an object but the object can't show a ui therefor the ui gets parented to the hud... which lives on the player.

Rework of the HUD in Marble Game continues steadily. Now I'm at making the foundation for VR rendering.

I think instead of integrating that functionality into the HUD elements, I'll fold all the existing VR UI rendering/interaction support into the VR player. So I just have to decide where to reparent UIs. And VR support gets more encapsulated along the way. The details I can take care of when and IF I ever get back to it.
