after a few days of flailing about with the 20-something classes it takes to make a custom editor in UE4, i finally have the beginnings of a graph-based procgen system going #devtober

i've mostly been working on boring codestuff lately so here's some screenshots of more visually interesting procgen things i've done recently

against the will of god i continue to exist, and in an attempt to return to social media things, im doing #devtober this month. so expect screenshots or yell at me if i start slacking (although i will be moving sometime this month so that'll probably keep me busy for a few days)

hello i have Made A Thing

well, it's still very under construction, but here's that modular info site i was talking about: https://modular.trashbyte.io

here's a few of the more-completed pages, including a build guide for the mixer module:
https://modular.trashbyte.io/modules/004

workin on a build guide for the mixer module kit!

i updated my patreon tiers to add more tiers and rewards. note that some rewards (like exclusive physical merch) aren't actually available yet, but i'll do my best to try to remedy that.

mainly i just need money, so i can like, pay rent and stuff. and *hopefully* pay for more modular synth development.

any support you can offer is greatly appreciated ❤️

im a menace

i can also do this neat two color thing but it makes the shadows even worse

sample photo with my lightbox. im not totally happy with the diffusion of the lighting or the whiteness of the backdrop but its something

cant we just overthrow capitalism already smh

i probably qualify for a COVID-19 relief check, for as much as $1200, but afaik i need to file my taxes first to be eligible, and due to having an "unusual case" (some weird college fund penalty fees) i need to pay like $100 to file (or try to file manually but that sounds like a disaster)

i'm in a really annoying place financially right now. i'm *just* on the cusp of being able to sell product but there's a bunch of expenses between here and there so i'm just spending the days researching *how* to file an LLC, what accounting software is good (that i cant buy yet), what supplies and equipment i *would* need to buy, etc. it's kinda demoralizing.

i'm not trying to guilt anyone into giving me money or anything, i'm just frustrated

aaaaaand here they is

mixer pcbs are here. panels are supposed to arrive later today

blathers my friend, today is your lucky day

sadly i cant quite say it was a *nice* trip

well that was a lucrative island
