More polish on camera behavior. It's interesting how such a small amount of data (the camera matrix) can play such an important role in the experience of a game. #Nintendo3DS

Best of both worlds. I combined TOGGLE and HOLD target locking. Press and hold 'L' to lock onto a target and release to cancel, or tap 'L' to toggle target locking on and off. #Nintendo3DS #IndieGameDev

Added target switching when locked-on using camera controls left and right. Also added auto switch to nearest target when locked-on target is destroyed. #Ninteno3DS

Here's a gif of the ideas I tried for the lock-on targeting frame for Nintendo 3DS. #Nintendo3DS

Crappy home video of Caster on 3DS. Just some perf, bug fixes, lot checks, and translation work to go! youtu.be/WaWERtwJPuo #Nintendo3DS #IndieGameDev #indiegames

Fixed up specular lighting. Lighting is computed per fragment with fixed function combine operations. Sweet! #Nintendo3DS

Note to self, remember to unit test getters and setters when doing a major refactor. setRoll actually setting pitch never goes well.

Ported over the credit screen. #Nintendo3DS

Dispatch menu progress. The location icons "float" above the screen. #Nintendo3DS

Rendering both the upper screen stereo and lower touch screen using a single command list. #Nintendo3DS

Got the character viewer working in 3D in the front end. #Nintendo3DS

Added stereo support for UI on top screen. #Nintendo3DS

Made improvements to the lock-on camera and front end UI can now draw to both top and bottom screens. #Nintendo3DS

And just like that, we have glow! #Nintendo3DS

Ever rederive a rotation matrix creation function because the rotations were out of order only to find the caller had params swapped?

GPU hangs can be very tricky to track down and fix, but it makes it all the more satisfying when you do. #Nintendo3DS

Adding double buffering to dynamic vertex buffers that change size after creation since I'm double buffering the command list. #Nintendo3DS

Wife says: "So there was no tearing, but there was a little tearing up." #clevergirl

Yup, it was progress. Moved buffer swap to right after the vsync and now I have zero tearing. so beautiful... 😂 #Nintendo3DS

Added code to fix occasional screen tear. Now have tear 100% of the time. Progress? Probably. #Nintendo3DS
