I need to just keep multiplying by 3 any estimate I give myself. I think that's the golden rule.

I always get nervous using those tech sites that have 'free tiers', but take your card deets. In theory as long as I only use their tooling for personal stuff I should be fine, but I don't wanna wake up with a crazy bill for reasons I don't know

Now the only issue with filming an embarrassing day is having to edit it and watch it over and over again. But I think I'm growing tolerance

Oh yea, also I got the website to work yesterday www.benjiblackstone.com, it's a placeholder, but Hugo + Blowfish is pretty cool.

Greatly improved NPC interaction polish (inspired by Majora's Mask). * NPC and cat now look at each other * NPC dude finally has a face * Fixed cat blinking * New font * Rotation and head turn happen in parallel now, not after each other. #psx #ps1 #playstation #gamedev #indiedev

Kinda rolling the dice on getting Spiderman 2 on PC, or waiting for the issues to be patched. I mean's it's been a year, waiting another doesn't seem too hard.

I dunno if 110GB is alot for a video project, but it's definitely the largest for me. I'm sooo glad I updated the harddrive.

Alright brief update, I was playing around a bit too much with Unity physics, and have now come to realizatdion that for something as simple as what I'm working on I likely don't need to worry about it. Pour one out for the time lost 🫡

Long day ahead, but if I can get detection working that'd be a pretty good result.

A fun little video to start the year. Who knew #gamedev could be so complicated 😂. I bow down. #gaming youtu.be/Cq0DHN1_J98

This is a far future thought, but I can't seem to figure out how to get two phones to talk to each other without a server in-between. There probably is a way, but again, it's a future thought.

Gonna do a quick turnaround video, as it turns out the project i'm working on is slightly more complicated (sort of) so I'll likely be working on it for another 2 weeks or so 😅. Oh well

Finally got a cube to float in AR, I'm 99% sure that means we're basically done. Off to bed then.

Sorry cracking my way through those Unity tutorials. It is a bit tiring, but sometimes you gotta go slow to go fast. Or something like that.

I think what I want to push for this year, is being ok with taking time on things. I'm gonna have not as much time as I did, so stressing about it isn't really gonna do much. And being ok, with having extended timelines ain't so bad either. Guess what's most important is figuring out the fun.

One thing I would say about the year, is that I've definitely learnt a lot about video editing.

In this video I spent a day with Pokemon Go to try and better understand how to create games that exist in the real world. Because surely the most popular real-world game would be the best place to learn right? #pokemon #gaming #gamedev youtu.be/0xL0-dOEytk

That weird moment where your 1/2 way through editing video and you start to think that maybe you don't like it so much. It's probably best I step away for a bit and come back with new eyes.

General update: I got the SSD working, I now have 2TBs of free real estate.

I think next time, i might just save up and get someone to install new components for me 😅. I've been trying for hours and this new drive just isn't being detected.

Tomorrow's gonna be the SSD, because I apparently lost the screws so need to go buy some.

Just upgraded the RAM on the PC for the first time. I was very concerned I might end up bricking the thing, but it definitely wasn't as 'like legos' as advertised. This was much cheaper than Legos.
