Another VTuber project from earlier this year, this was a personal project where my goal was to learn applying realistic face tracking to a non human character.

Recently completed VTuber commission of a cute little Jerboa Knight! Was a pleasure to work on such a fun character and I learnt a couple of new things about stylized shaders and rendering along the way.

Hey kids, do you like adventure games?
Australian comedian, John Robertson, appears in a humorously written and well performed "choose your own adventure" video series on youtube called The Dark Room, which is an oddly reminiscent throwback to the golden era of text adventure games. Some of you more crustier gamers would have experienced the limitations of early text adventure games where a small range of possibilities were available and you'd receive some rather odd responses to your queries…

PALGN, an Australian based gaming news / community website established in 2003 is apparently in the shitter. A lack of transparency, communication, and any real action from PALGN's new owner to fix the site's long standing technical problems has meant that PALGN's passionate team of volunteer editors have walked off, never to return. There will be no more articles, news updates, or reviews from them after Friday (today), and it's a damn shame because it shouldn't have ended this way.
While I'…
