Sabine's current VTuber incarnation is a tiny ork girl (and definitely not a goblin).
Read more...Daily Warmup Sketches 86: Gay Monstergirls
This was going to be a pic taking place in a secluded sea-cave, but I had some issues getting the background to where I wanted it to be. But lineart or not, gay monstergirls are pretty cool.
Read more...Daily Warmup Sketches 85: Adam Smasher
Finally finished Cyberpunk 2077. It's a fantastic game, and if you've been avoiding it because of how buggy it was when it first came out, it might be time to take another look at it.

Read more...Grafx2 Panning
I've been spending the last year working (off-and-on) on some changes to Grafx2!
Read more...Deluxe Paint Gradient Fills
So I watched Mark Ferrari's entire GDC talk "8 Bit & '8 Bitish' Graphics-Outside the Box". It's a fantastic talk by one of the greatest pixel artists alive today. He talks about a lot of his work, and spends a section of the video going into some details about his techniques.
Read more...My Big Ninkasi Presentation
So quite a while ago I started building a scripting language and, over the course of about a year, actually finished it (for some definitions of "finished"). The scripting language was named "Ninkasi", after the Sumerian beer goddess.
Read more...TTF GLYF Work, and Wrapping malloc()
I've only had a bit of time to work on the DOS game lately, with Further Confusion over the weekend.
Read more...TTF CMAP Cleanup
Spent a bit of time over the weekend cleaning up my CMAP loading code for TTF loader in my DOS game library. This is stuff that's not particularly glamourous, even from the perspective of font graphics. All it's doing right now is mapping characters to glyph indices. Haven't even started on the glyph loading code itself.
Read more...Naga Skateboard Design
So apparently a custom-printed skateboard costs only a little more than a not-custom-printed skateboard, so I decided to do a drawing for the bottom of the one I want to get, and I drew a naga.
Read more...Scrapper Fixed
The arm on my older "Scrapper". pic was bugging the hell out of me every time I looked at it, so I finally got around to fixing it.
Read more...Kei's Trans Pride
There's been a trans pride t-shirt meme going around the furry community on Twitter for a bit, so I went ahead and did it with Kei.
Read more...Retroactive Updates
I've already added some older images with older dates to the blog history here. I'm going to let a bunch of my older stuff trickle in as I update the site and pull in more stuff like old art or programming crap I've discussed.
Read more...Olive from My Dragon Girlfriend
Everyone totally needs to check out My Dragon Girlfriend by @Fawnduu. It's super cute.
Read more...Intoxicoding Logo Updated
I updated the Intoxicoding logo a while ago. Mostly the only difference is in Kei's hands and forearms, which are now all scaley, but also scaled just a little differently.
Read more...More MOD Player Stuff
I got the MOD player running at 3-4ms/f on the 486DX2 at 66mhz with a 4-channel MOD file playing at 22khz. Doing okay, but not perfect.
Read more...Video Capture Woes
I got a nice fancy VGA capture card with generally good reviews from Inogeni. The images that come through on the thing are crystal clear, and look totally amazing, but it only works (on my DOS machine) in the 640x480@60hz mode that Windows 3.11 gives me. In fact, it seems to have issues with most of the DOS VGA modes, which are all in the 70hz range and higher.
Read more...Mode 13h Is Too Slow?
Jumping into graphics a bit early, I set up mode 13h and got the palette controls and vertical blank syncronization all hooked up. I set up a simple back buffer for the 320x200 pixel/byte display, and wrapped it all up in a simple double buffering setup. Then I ran into a problem.
Read more...DOS Timer Stuff
In this episode I discover some a seriously WTF aspect of DOS game programming. Namely how I need to get a millisecond timer.
Read more...486 Acquired
This is mainly just a story of how I picked up my 486DX2s for testing. Nothing technically interesting here.
Read more...DOS Game Devlog Start
So I started working on a DOS game back in around January of this year. The MiniLD retro challenge got me interested in some retro game dev. I definitely wasn't going to make the deadline for the challenge, but I'm still working on the project anyway. It's a project for its own sake now.
Read more...Music Player Debugging With No UI
Currently working on my Protracker MOD file player. I need to know what the sound samples look like as part of the debugging process, but I have no graphical output hooked up yet.
Read more...Palette Shifting Fun
Messing with the Mode 13h palette. I noticed one section of it is already just a cycle through hue values, so I made it loop through those hues while drawing, and also loop the section of the palette itself. The result is magic!
Read more...Early VGA Tests
I've decided to make a DOS game. This is one of the earliest tests, which just writes the entire palette to the corner of the screen. Currently using Mode 13h.
Read more...LilyVM - Addressing Modes
Well, I guess I settled on that last addressing mode. It's two more modes, which pretty much just copy the existing immediate-memory-location and something-from-the-stack addressing modes.
Read more...LilyVM - RC4 Cryptography Example
To test the existing functionality of LilyVM and its assembler, I decided to implement a simple, well-known cryptography algorithm, RC4. It's not the kind that anyone should use today, because it's got a lot of known effective attacks against it, but it's an easy real-world example of a simple algorithm to play with.
Read more...LilyVM - Initial Whatever
Disclaimer: I am not experienced at this, so I might use the wrong terminology, or have some totally stupid ideas. The point is to learn by doing, and sometimes that involves failing and looking really stupid.
Read more...Cintiq Companion 2 Running Linux
I'm an open-source hippie. I install Debian on pretty much every x86/x64 device I come within arms reach of. But I'm also a delusional artist. So when I had the opportunity to snag a Cintiq Companion 2 512GB model, I had to take it, but then I also had to install Debian Linux on it.
Read more...New Server! Now with more Terraria hosting!
Got a new server! It's way cooler than the last one.
Read more...New site! New job!
I have once again reconstructed my website from... uh... something. This time it's based on Jekyll.
Read more...Fixed Timestep and Custom UGameEngine in UE4
Okay. Fine. Everyone who told me to fix the timestep was right.
Read more...Prototypey Bullet Patterns
I got some simple bullet patterns up and running. This started off as a re-implementation of one of the samples that came with Danmakufu, but I messed with it a bit.
Read more...Tick Time Debt
So despite all that fancy pants math I did, I was still having a problem with bullet positions.
Read more...Variable Timesteps and Holy Crap Math is Hard
Bullet hell shooters with intricate bullet patterns seem to rely on fixed timesteps to simplify the math. If you can ensure that every bullet is always handled consistently with the same timestep every frame regardless of actual framerate, you can pretty much guarantee that your pretty bullet pattern will deterministically look the same every time you run it on whatever hardware you run it on.
Read more...The Camera and the Game Plane
So my first task for the shooter was to get that Ikaruga-style camera motion. The one where the camera flies around in the level, but the gameplay stays fixed to your view.
Read more...Making a Danmaku Shooter in Unreal Engine
I have a confession to make. I love Touhou. There are a bunch of bullet hell (or bullet curtain, or danmaku, or whatever) shooters, and many of them are pretty great, but Touhou always seemed to me like that standard of what makes a great shooter.
