@radiangames The Live Coding stuff works most of the time for .cpp changes, .h changes are iffy. Build times in general aren't awful unless you're making changes to the engine itself then it's time to take a long lunch.

I've created/updated my links to show the best places to keep in touch. https://t.co/r5wT69qA1F

@Latienie If you've still got an invite I'd appreciate it :)

[Kenny Chinn @kgchinn]

It's only been 8 months since my last post about my engine 😆. Finally had some time to write up how I handle importing animation source files into a runtime format. https://t.co/3YGJsRojgB

[Kenny Chinn @kgchinn]

@FreyaHolmer Ahh yeah that's what I get for not reading the instructions 😄

[Kenny Chinn @kgchinn]

Woot got my gizmo by @FreyaHolmer so I can remember that Y is the true up even while working with UE

@PiratePwnsNinja @akouzmanoff Like your cat I'm also curious how the one piece TCG is 😉

Very sorry to hear about all of the game industry layoffs the last few days. We just opened up a senior gameplay animator position on my team as well as many others so #gamedevs affected by this, please feel free to reach out!

I finally found some time to write a new post about my personal engine. This one goes over skinned meshes and skeletons. https://t.co/Qadn9h0haX

@TheCartelDel Same as here!

@lightbombmike Without twitter how will 12 people forward your tweets with hand animation within 30 seconds of it being posted?

@Watchman_Blue Anything to keep from painting all those miniatures huh?

[Björn Ottosson - making Island Architect @bjornornorn]

My island generation now generates sea arches and caves.

Still some work to do to not generate floating bits of rock and sea stacks that look like they would tip over.

After that I'll look at making the terrain editable and at more interesting mesh generation.

@dswersky @longbool It's great for games. Can be a little awkward for dev software like visual studio. Windows 11 makes it more manageable with the Snap layouts though.

[Kenny Chinn @kgchinn]

@longbool Nice I just recently upgraded my entire setup including switching to a curved monitor. Got a samsung odyssey g9, still adjusting to it.

[Freya Holmér @FreyaHolmer]

okay by popular request I'm gonna look into selling 3D gizmos like the ones I made a few years ago
