Christmas came early :).
A little personal question. If titan attacks sold as much as steam spy claims, i guess you wouldnāt have so much funding troubles. So my suspicions of steamspy accuracy are correct? they are often way off.
Incidentally there is really interesting math with sphere and grids and hexes. It comes to one simple fact. You cannot evenly space more than 20 points on the surface of a sphere. Mathsā¦ Who knew.
Kinda What I did yesterday in normal sense, but technically what I did today since I did it after the date change in the midnight:
Iāve got SSL on my website!!! Itās now https://goharsha.com/
Thank you CloudFlare for offering free SSL.
A respectable number for sure, but Steam takes a minimum of 30%, take away taxes, various costs of running a company, salaries, development time, rent/cost of living, marketing, subcontractors, risk, debt ā frankly Iād be surprised if they broke even.
Plus a funding campaign isnāt just about the funding. Itās also about marketing and market research bundled into one. You can get a sense of the interest of the game and also spread the word out at the same time among other things.
For some reason, Norton thinks your website is a serious threat, not entirely sure why. It says your website is known to be dangerous.
Been working on AI for my game, came across this paper on the bots in Quake 3 today:
http://www.kbs.twi.tudelft.nl/docs/MSc/2001/Waveren_Jean-Paul_van/thesis.pdf
If anyone is interested in that sort of thing, you can check it out.
I finally finished setting up the images for our tutorial dialogs in RF. I think I can finally start on the trailer now. Hype!
I glanced at the doc and didnāt expect it to be so full of content! Iām definitely saving this for later. It may come in handy for WSWs AI. And AI is always one of my favorite programming topics. Thanks for sharing!

There was a link to another paper in yesterdayās link, but it was dead. However, I googled around and found it elsewhere, so hereās āIt Knows What Youāre Going To Do: Adding Anticipation to a Quakebotā.
Sorry for double post, but Khronos announced today that itās creating a standard API to work across all VR devices, already has all the major HMD manufacturers onboard.
This is great news because in the past you had to more or less use an API per HMD.
Updated Battledroid to do all its blending in sRGB space. Looks a bit poo now, need to tweak it lots.

Are you a developer on this game?
Had Digital Electronics exam, did one of tasks in The Powder Toy just for fun after coming back home :
Nopeā¦just not my kinda game but still looks awesome.
I wrote a symbolic assembler for 6502 machine code in Java. It can turn this:
*=$c000
BSOUT = $ffd2
start lda #147
jsr BSOUT
ldx #03
ldy #10
clc
jsr $fff0
ldx #$00
loop lda $c01c,X
beq end
jsr BSOUT
inx
jmp loop
end rts
into this:
.c000 a9 93
.c002 20 d2 ff
.c005 a2 03
.c007 a0 0a
.c009 18
.c00a 20 f0 ff
.c00d a2 00
.c00f bd 1c c0
.c012 f0 07
.c014 20 d2 ff
.c017 e8
.c018 4c 0f c0
.c01b 60
Next step: Write a simple 6502 CPU emulation to execute the programs.
BTW: Iāve no idea why Iām doing thisā¦ ???
For those unaware, there is a Ludum Dare tomorrow.
This is more about something I did couple oā weeks ago.
I recently started a blog (shadedvertex.blogspot.com) where I basically post stuff about computer graphics (l lub coputar grapiks) and anything else that I feel like writing about. I started the blog as a hobby, and itās pretty fun to style the blog using CSS. Blogger, contrary to popular belief, is a great free blogging platform and itās pretty powerful (though of course Iām aware of other possible more advanced and powerful alternatives). I just started work on styling the website using CSS.
Feel free to take a look at the blog! I donāt post on a regular basis, though, I just post when Iām in the mood to. So donāt count on me posting every day or every week or whatever. And you donāt have to follow or like or anything, I wonāt hunt you down if you donāt.
Anyway, remember to FOLLOW AND LIKE and LIKE SUM MOAR.
Haha, just kidding.

Started Ludum Dare 37! The last one was amazing, but this time Iām all alone ;(
If anyoneās open on doing a JGO Ludum Dare livestream on sunday PM me and I can add you to the google hangouts
Summary of last week or so:
- Blender plugins for exporting models and animations essentially feature complete.
- Experimented with motion blur stuff, but no good results.
- Finished my school assignments for the year. Just one interview/presentation thing leftā¦ and two massive exams and an essay right after christmas. āWho needs a winter break, eh?ā - Swedish education.
- Seemingly fried one of my GPUs. It starts to artifact and driver crash under load. My second one seems fine though. I really donāt have the cash to replace, well, anything at all at the moment. My frigging fridge broke the other day too and I lost a huge amount of food there tooā¦ FML
EDIT:

Working on the AI in my game. Using something similar to quake 3 fuzzy system and scripted sequences. My brother finished some more models:
Which model/chip is that? If itās broken anyway, you might consider to bake it in the oven. Thereās a slight chance that this helps.
