Hey all! Just wanted to say that there won't be streams for the next two weeks because I'm in Hawaii!!! 🌴☀️

I'd also like to take the opportunity here to do a quick channel / life update. The next two videos in the voxel rendering series are still planned, but are progressing slowly due to a lot of unexpected life changes. A university friend and I have spent the past several months singularly focused on starting and getting funding for a game studio, and in January of this year we succeeded in finding an investor! So now, for the very first time in my life, I'm entirely self employed as a game developer, which is a huge paradigm shift for me. 

We're building a Roguelike Party game titled Stardust Frontier, which we'll hopefully be releasing at the end of this year. I'm super excited to cover its development on this channel once we have more to show, and get opinions and feedback from y'all. If you want to follow our socials early (which would be SUPER helpful), you can find them all at  https://effortgames.ca/ 

So, what to expect in the future? This year, my first goal is to finish the voxel meshing series early, and then I want to focus on making Stardust Frontier devlogs, interspersed with more technical videos about voxels. For streams, I'll probably hop back and forth between the projects so that I can cover both of them. I hope this sounds good to you, I'm really excited to be taking this step!
See you all soon ❤️

Merry Christmas everyone, if you celebrate it! 🎄🌟 Either way, I hope you had a lovely day with your family/friends/people you care about ❤️

I gave myself the Christmas gift of work, and spent the last few weeks finally making myself a new website after almost four years. I'm honestly really excited to see it grow and evolve. I'm big into the Indie Web and online creative expression. I'd love it if you read my first post on it! 📜

Have a lovely holiday season everybody, and a fantastic New Years! 🎉 🎆 

(Fair warning, the site doesn't have a mobile UI yet :P)

I've been awarded this badge two months in a row because of the livestreams 🫠 what should I be taking away from this?

Should I look into simulcasting on YouTube when I Livestream on Saturdays? I've been streaming on Twitch for a while, but now that I have a larger audience here, it might be a good time to start publishing on both platforms. Thoughts? 

You should stream to YouTube too!

I'm fine just watching on Twitch

Not interested in streams, but IDC

Streaming to YouTube would annoy me

Hey all! I'm livestreaming on Twitch ( https://twitch.tv/Aurailus ) in 5 minutes, working on Zepha (my voxel game engine)! Stop by and watch me debug shitty code, distract me from the perils of C++ memory management, it'll be fun!! I'll be answering questions about my game dev project, and anything else you want to ask. See you there! ❤️

Hey everyone! Surprisingly, I'm still alive! I haven't quit YouTube, I've just been working on a really long followup about my Game Engine for the last 5 months, and Uni has been really busy. No video yet, but I am streaming game development on my Twitch ( https://twitch.tv/Aurailus ) if anyone would like to stop by, ask me questions, or just have a nice chat. Hope to see you there!

Just finished my second video ever!! It's about Less is Moore, my Ludum Dare 54 entry that ended up placing 2nd in the Compo Bracket out of almost 500 submissions. It's available to watch NOW for Patrons, Twitch Subs, and Nitro Boosters on my Discord, and it'll be releasing publicly on Wednesday. I'm so excited!!! ✨💖
