Grab bag for…What day is it?

Scopique December 9, 2020

I don’t know why I ended up here. I had opened several browser windows and apparently this was one of them. Using my sensitive dowsing powers, I was drawn here for…some reason. I don’t think I have much to say, and only…

More Interfaces: A Possible Way Forward

Scopique November 14, 2020

After my post last night, I got a brief introduction into how I might consider creating a three-tier+ structure from Twitter Luminary @Delebrin: Considering I posted late at night and Delebrin responded shortly after, I didn’t see the response until the next…

Interfaces Again: Separation of Concerns and Dependency Injection

Scopique November 13, 2020

We interrupt this usual flow of entertainment posts to bring you a special PSA. We take you live, now, to our studios in Burbank. Over to you, Chet. This post is going to be really niche (and really long, sorry), but as…

Discord Sucks, Adapt or Die, and Learning is Going To Hell

Scopique September 21, 2020

I’ve been trying to learn about the Core game platform for the past week. I’ve spawned copies of some complex games made by Manticore and have gone through each element, checking out the properties and, if relevant, the scripts associated with them.…

Core Game Development Platform

Scopique September 15, 2020

You may remember a while back I had posted a lot about an online game platform called Crayta. For a while, I was really into Crayta, learning Lua again and hopefully creating useful widgets that I and other aspiring game developers could…

Developer Confidential: I Just Started Caring About Interfaces

Scopique August 17, 2020

The Satisfyingly Unsatisfactory Approach of Planning It All Out First

Scopique August 9, 2020

I don’t know why, but I was struck with a bit of inspiration while kicking back and doing absolutely nothing yesterday afternoon (literally: I was at my desk, feet up, contemplating a nap). As you might know, I have been semi-obsessed (semi…

Securely Insecure in the Knowledge

Scopique April 8, 2020

Thanks to the quarantine, I’ve watched dozens of videos on 3D modeling with Blender, and despite having watched dozens of videos on the subject before the quarantine, I feel that I’ve got a better grasp of about 75% of the basics that…

Temporary Set-Ups and WomBot in the Wild

Scopique March 10, 2020

It’s Like Moving In All Over Again Monday nights are our usual get-together nights around here. We sometimes gather together in person, or online if we’re A) sick, B) lazy, or C) all of the above. Last night the group was gearing…

Kitbash3D for Cool Cinematographic and Video Game Models

Scopique March 6, 2020

Mindstrike put me on to a site called Kitbash3d. Kitbashing is the practice of taking parts from those old-school models (kits) from companies like Revell and using them to build (bash together) a totally different model. See here, taken from my recent…
