• o7 RIP Enod the Hammerdwarf Recruit

    o7 RIP Enod the Hammerdorf Recruit. I was sieged by goblins, but had a squad of mace and axe lords ready. No problem I think…

    Then the goblins appear INSIDE my fort from a diagonal on the surface I made with some haphazard farming attempts.

    The Gem Crafter falls first, unlucky enough to be brewing in the wrong place and Enod, our new Elite Recruit appears on the scene.

    Dodging literally 8 bolts and arrows, Enod dives forward and smashes some goblin heads in a frantic melee. Tragically, by the time the Mace Lords arrive to the fight, she’s taken an arrow to THE KNEE, then a bolt in the THROAT. After choking out a battlecry, she charged the goblin who’s wounded her, tackles them, and knocks them unconscious with her hands.

    Surrounded by elite dwarves, she stands up and retreats to tend to her wounds. Promptly, and without hesitation she RIPS the bolt out of her throat, severing a major artery, and falls over, dead. FUN!

    As the tweetstorm of 2023 blows over, this will now be my primary feed.

    So what’s next? Who knows!


  • XR Gallery and XR Hub

    I’ve been tinkering away at my corner of the Metaverse for a few weeks now. As a visual artist, an art gallery seemed like a natural starting point, so I opened Blender 2.9 and starting movin & extrudin.

    Above you’ll see a sneak peek from Blender EEVEE of the entry lobby of my fourth or fifth take on that gallery. 😂

    You can view it in 3D in your browser here:

    https://xr.joshjohanson.com

    That subdomain will serve as my XR Hub, and you’ll see links to other projects and 3D XR pages linked to from there. Everything is a WIP, and under active development, so things will break from time to time.

    Now on to more tedious adventures in UV unwrapping and lightmapping.
