Notes -
Didn't get a chance to do a lot this week. Any better luck @Southkraut?
Yeah actually, thanks for asking.
I'm slowly getting into a groove, experimenting with Unreal, narrowing down what I'm doing wrong, and correcting it. Still not much to show for it. I refactor a lot to square what Unreal and C++ demand of Code with what I personally consider good code. This - wrangling code itself and seeing it evolve into better shapes with each iteration - I actually enjoy quite a bit. Which may be a bit of a breakthrough; the last months I had to force myself to get acquainted with Unreal, but now I'm at a point where I'm actually looking forward to spending more time on it. It's nowhere near the flow states I used to spend entire days in, but there's less mental resistance and the idea-to-product pipeline is becoming shorter.
Edit: I just realized that Unreal's coordinate system is
And dammit, why can't any two engines use the same? Tomorrow I need to go over my entire (modest) codebase and check every coordinate.
