Well, it’s only been five years since my most recent post! That’s actually less than I had thought it would be. Plenty has been going on in the intervening five years, both personally and project-wise. Many hobby game projects have been started (and paused, of course).

But of course no project reaches perfection so why not share something now. I’ve got a handful of personal game projects…
Over a year ago I found out about a neat procedural texturing algorithm inspired by principles of wave function collapse from quantum physics. It really caught my attention as a novel way to do procedural texturing using a human-designed algorithm (which is quickly going out of fashion). The full details of what science has learned…
It’s happened. After all the time of hearing about other people visiting Tokyo I finally got my ass over there. All it took was an Oculus-sponsored trip to Tokyo Game Show for me to finally make the time to do it. As anyone who’s been to Tokyo knows, the city is amazing. I couldn’t believe…
