WIP seasts! Also you can attach them to avatars or animate in the timeline. "keep_upright" is a comfort option

2026-08-29 20:31:15 UTC

And today I'm going to work on seats and anchors. Sit in the car or in someone else's palms - should be possible

2026-08-29 20:29:22 UTC

Avatar protection is in. Maye even overzealous, but I need to hear the opinion of real players. One highlight - you can manage asset privacy right from your inventory

2026-08-28 03:17:46 UTC

How do you think avatar protection should work?

2026-08-28 02:48:38 UTC

Finally got time to implement a QoL. Grab spawned avatar and wear it. No inspector or devtool finally needed

Avatar scaling works!

Wow, scaling players is not that easy as just modifying root transform. Spent the evening catching a bug in VRIK implementation that threw the body far away from the camera

2026-08-25 03:24:33 UTC

Now I'm working on player scaling. What do you think acceptable multiplier should be? I think between 0.01 and 100

2026-08-24 21:28:22 UTC

I present you - mr. Fallback!😆

2026-08-24 02:24:24 UTC

Both are done along with some bugfixes

2026-08-24 00:49:21 UTC

Small tasks for today - item export and self-moderation tools

2026-08-21 18:29:02 UTC

uploads are working!

Emoji support btw😋

Working gifs, images and videos right in the chat!

Now community staff can host worlds per-channel! Public events, hidden worlds, however you like

2026-08-19 05:43:08 UTC

And back to Concord!

2026-08-18 22:19:15 UTC

Next logical step would be update to the social plane to implement Concord protocol. Starting with Private Streams, Communities, Channels, Roles, Invites. Imagine having a decentralized discord and talk to people outside of the game

2026-08-18 22:19:07 UTC

Continuing with bloom and asset sovereignty. You can publish items and worlds, set licenses, credit editors, make forks. And everything keeps genealogy.

2026-08-18 21:41:03 UTC

More pressing task is migration of the social plane to Concord with all its benefits

2026-08-18 21:39:31 UTC

- reply

Maybe not right now. It's too big actually 😅 But definitely some time in the future

2026-08-18 07:26:53 UTC

A big task of porting lilToon to glsl incoming! Finally will work on a better material editor UI

2026-08-17 23:58:18 UTC

Cool! Now players can publish their items and worlds on the bloom! No need for a cloud or an always-on tracker for asset distribution. One step closer to decentralization

2026-08-17 05:04:29 UTC

Today I squashed a nasty performance bug with rich text memoization. And want to share a cool little demo of runtime custom shader authoring in multiplayer. I used https://www.shadertoy.com/view/sfVGDG for the demo

2026-08-17 01:50:07 UTC

Also fully implemented WebCLAP host. Sometimes it is funny to watch youtube with some auto-tune, you know😉

2026-08-15 21:42:46 UTC

Finally got time to fix GTAO in my engine. It's so nice to see shadows smoothly accumulate in corners

Improved eye liveliness, while I'm working on FBT👁️🫦👁️

2026-08-11 04:38:00 UTC

Good progress! Got FBT working with my SlimeVR set.
If you know specific technical approaches for VRIK - please reach out to me. I'm looking for ideas

2026-08-10 18:58:14 UTC

With yesterdays merge of performance update working on FBT is now much smoother!

Still working on FBT, unfortunately the battery in my left elbow trackers turned into a pillow so it doesn't hold the charge long enough to iron out the problems. So in the meantime I improved performance of gltf imports. Now the load stutter is almost invisible instead of freezing the game for a couple of seconds

2026-08-09 04:53:06 UTC

Whew, working on FBT is hard. Need to cover various types of skeletons, including ones with upper chest bone and without one. We should have switched to VRM standard a long time ago, since it became part of the Khronos spec. But it is what it is, and we have to cover edge cases.
What I came up with so far - Sub-base FABRIK for spine, trigonometric IK for limbs.

2026-08-06 23:30:07 UTC

Too much needs to be reworked, but I hope it will it

2026-08-06 05:32:28 UTC

Updating the VRIK and making it a part of the animation graph. This opens almost unlimited possibilities for avatar authoring. Humans, birds, quadrupeds, even centaurs are on the table

2026-08-05 23:06:55 UTC

Very productive day. No windows build though. But I fixed DDGI implementation and light baking, which makes me very happy. Also lots of UX improvements in the scene inspector. You can dial in your values, copy and paste them, copy entire value arrays or even grab a full path to the property to run scripts over it. Next - scroll wheel zoom in graph editors and something like pinch-to-zoom for VR mode

2026-08-05 05:13:05 UTC

Finished massive refactor. As for tomorrow - I'll fix some UX issues and try to port the engine to windows (scary), and if I'm lucky - Android XR (very scary)

2026-08-04 16:59:15 UTC

Working on a cool VR project that uses nostr as one of its communication layers😃
