First blog post of the year: DONE! In this exciting episode, I talk about the fun little string token class I added instead of writing the static mesh packer like I said I would. #cpplus #cpp #gamedev #opensource #programming #gameengine

My win for this afternoon was getting multi-mesh scene import working for GLTF files! Static mesh imports to the engine will now bake all the meshes it finds along the import node path into one mesh for the pack file. Almost makes up for skipping GGJ this year.

This is me and C++ every dang work day.

You see this behaviour mirrored in how frameworks/engines/libraries become hiring criteria, such that replacing an engineer no longer comes with that opportunity cost, and there’s very little institutional knowledge or onboarding required to continue the work.

Months of putting off solving a rare, Windows-only scene loading bug caused by _some_ issue in the asset packer. I am reduced to numbing disappointment over THIS...

I swear, this IS the last update to the blog site comments! To be fair, @itsjustmustafa.bsky.social baited me into doing it!

So because I cannot let anything go (and because I am still bed-bound), I ended up adding rich text facet support to the blog site. Apparently Javascript strings natively use UTF-16, and the offsets in the facets are based on UTF-8 so it wasn't as straightforward as I thought to get this working.

Hi! Not #The1MonthGame update, just wanted to let you know that I created a new game devs starter pack for awesome indies to follow. Includes indie devs with +1K followers, so the 150 limit isn't filled right away. Let me know to be added. Feel free to repost & suggest devs! 🎮 go.bsky.app/Hjfup3r

If you have a blog site and, like me, don't want to host your own comments section, I've put together a short blogpost on how to embed replies to your Bluesky posts in your own site! capscollective.com/blog/bluesky... #blueskydev #webdev

Something I found out today is that Bluesky has a freely available appview API. Naturally I've updated the @capscollective.com blog to use it as our blog commenting backend because this is the coolest thing ever!
