What if I do my own take on Kirby Super Star's "Computer Virus" boss? #pixelart

@NinTheFolf I'm really looking forward to it. I'm gonna pick it up the next time I go to the store for sure!

@rainwarrior I'm unfamiliar with finite differences, but I feel like even just building the table in RAM would have massive space savings, since M7A=M7D, and M7B=-M7C. So that's 10 bytes/scanline/angle down to 4.

It's mostly trig function(angle)*scale*(1/y), and if I could multiply quickly that could be reduced to just one multiplication per scanline and two tables. I might try symmetry.

My mode 7 stuff is a lot more fun now that I have actual tiles being displayed. You can see that I've got a start on implementing a Blue Sphere sort of thing. #snesdev #gamedev

Oh hey, rotation! I'm using 32 angles right now and so I have two entire banks dedicated to HDMA tables because currently each angle is a whole 1772 bytes. Worth it for good-looking turning though!

Have my current progress on getting mode 7 perspective stuff working in my SNES game. I'm gonna try and add camera rotation next! #gamedev #snesdev

@XerTheSquirrel It would be really amazing if you can. I want to make sure there's a plan B though, like when I planned to hang out with a specific friend at IndyFurCon last year who couldn't make it, and it wasn't very good.

I'd be really interested in finding out what friends intend on going to Midwest FurFest, since I want to go, but being alone would be a dealbreaker. Not sure how to find that out aside from asking everyone individually. I want it to be a replacement for missing out on Anthrocon.

@behold3r I ended up naming myself "Maffi" after my own mouse character since she seemed like the sort of creative person who'd be making levels.

Due to my platforming prowess, I kicked so much butt at Ultimate Chicken Horse that I was told to set a handicap.

That got me thinking, would a video game character naturally be good at playing video games in the same genre they're from?

There's probably a pretty good correlation for the specific case where you make a character to represent yourself and then you put them in games that use the genre you love, at least.

Look at me rolling down a hill! I think this will be the replacement for sliding down on your butt, and I still need to animate it better and make it affect collisions and things. #gamedev #snesdev

@TastyTrissie Yeah when I saw that in the update notes I was like, no, I do not trust furries with this feature.

I've seen enough animated FurAffinity avatars to know where this is going.

I tucked in her head and it looks way better now! And she fits in a smaller space so I can do a lot with this gameplay-wise.

Shout out to my coworkers for getting together for a little party for fireworks and inviting me. Weekends of big conventions are never pleasant for me, but now for once, due to work, I am not spending them completely alone.

I tried to doodle a rolling animation though I think I failed a little bit because she should probably be rolled up into more of a ball for that. It still looks kinda nice though. The idea was that she could roll down slopes really adorably.

As an ace person, it actually kind of bothers me when I see people joke about completely clean stuff like holding hands as being a very taboo kink, because for me those sorts of things are the tools I've got left for expressing affection, so they're very important to me and I don't appreciate them being a punchline.

But that could also just be me needing to loosen up.

@dragon At least in my monogamous relationships, flirting and affection were all over the place anyway :p

@Nine there are rumors going around my dad's house that I like squirrel girls, and I don't care at all haha
