Trinket Milestone 1

又是忘发自己blog的一集。
不过反正这里对流量贡献不大,主要作为永久记录了。五十年后,tiktok会死,b站会死,twitter会死(已经half dead),我的网站只要我在就还在(azure会死但是咱能换坑)。所以从这个time scale来看晚发一个月没啥关系(挺胸。

Spark and Spree – Update on my Slime game

Forgot to upload a couple of videos here recently. Centralization is eating me alive 🙁
But my blog is always my favorite place on the entire Internet. You know you are old when writing to a plain interface gives you nostalgia 😗

Anyway here is the video and I will come back to write a breakdown when I’m not totally exhausted.

The Matrix Awakens VFX Showcase

The first Matrix movie shocked me as a kid. The effects was out of the world.
20 years later I’ve become the code rain master💚
Here is a quick cut of VFX I made for this demo. Can’t believe I made all the coolest shit.
Hope you enjoy my childhood dream too.
