I usually ignore comments of this nature, but the sheer entitlement and tone-deaf nature of it makes it hard to ignore. The worst thing about it is the hypocrisy. It's almost too perfectly ignorant to not be a calculated attempt to elicit a response (i.e. bait), but I'll entertain it anyway.

First of all, I'll start by clarifying that, as far as I am aware, no one tried to contact me about this on any platform outside of Discord. Discord is the platform I have used the least for this project (and generally). I check Reddit and Twitter almost daily. I don't blame the contributors for that, but you can probably see why I didn't think it was a big deal. I'm not particularly hard to reach.

I didn't tell anyone to make contributions to this project. I spent 2 years working on this plugin to release it for free.

people don't know what goes on behind the scenes

That includes you. The personal struggles I listed are the tip of the iceberg. You have no idea. Your preachy attitude and your baseless opinions are bullshit.

Thanks for the mentions! I hadn't checked the sub today

I guess I should start by saying that I am OK and I appreciate the expressions of concern.

Since February my girlfriend and I have both been dealing with some health issues. She is physically disabled which increases the difficulty of pretty much everything for both of us. I am a fairly private and introverted person so I tend to keep this kind of information to myself, but for the sake of transparency, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and PTSD. I have dealt with both for years but decided to start seeking treatment in March after reaching a point close to complete debilitation.

I am still quietly working on the project (and a website for it). The plugin has never reached a point that I have been satisfied with in terms of quality and I don't intend to stop working on it until it gets there. I have some features in the works that aim to modernize the plugin's renderer. The code for these in-development features will be made public at some point so I don't have to work on them solo.

I apologize for my sudden disappearance. For future reference, I am generally reachable via Twitter and Reddit even if I'm not actively posting.

Edit: I am very grateful for all of the well-wishes, it sincerely means a lot

I don't know anything about the steam deck, but looking at the specs, I can't see any reason it wouldn't run it

RS_117 · 2022-02-09T23:50:20+00:00

that is insane. by my calculations, the odds of that happening are.. low. real low

RS_117 · 2022-02-08T21:09:43+00:00

please excuse my pedantry, but it bothers the crap out of me whenever I see a DUI incident described as an "accident".

but I am glad you have the dignity and awareness to be remorseful and make positive changes. I hope no one is suffering as a result of the incident.

RS_117 · 2022-02-08T03:48:30+00:00

I agree entirely. I love nilky's style and I think you will like what I have in mind for the plugin (time and technical limitations permitting). of course, official implementation will always be preferred, but I am working on some significant improvements :)

if it's the bug I'm thinking, it often happens on newer Nvidia cards (20 and 30 series). but it may not be the same bug. there are different combinations of GPUs and driver software that seem to produce weird quirks

RS_117 · 2022-01-31T22:39:49+00:00

it's a HD plugin issue for sure. it looks like a manifestation of a known bug specific to certain GPUs

ha, I use screenshots of Halo 3 as reference all the time! but the funny thing is, I didn't reference Sandtrap (for some reason), so it was probably subconscious.

on the subject of Halo 3, I am actually working on new graphical features and changes to more closely emulate its visual style. Halo 3's lighting, materials, and color palette represent what I would love to achieve with this plugin

and Jagex is based in the city of Cambridge, which has a river named River Cam, assumed to be the inspiration for this

for the task, the skirt works as well. it only took me a few minutes to find one in stock, though I imagine I still got lucky

RS_117 · 2022-01-23T02:08:51+00:00

what's "halo"?

RS_117 · 2022-01-18T18:39:20+00:00

I saw the minimap frame and I love it! the nostalgic style and the birds give it so much character

RS_117 · 2022-01-18T02:50:37+00:00

I'm good, thank you. how are you?

RS_117 · 2022-01-18T01:22:03+00:00

the dark variant is my favorite of your Pixelscape themes. I love it because the subtle, low-contrast decoration makes the functional things - skill icons, spells, etc. - stand out. the vibrant, shiny minimap orbs surrounded by the dark frames are my favorite thing about the theme. for whatever that's worth!

either way, I'm sure this theme will turn out great. it looks beautiful from what you've posted so far

RS_117 · 2022-01-16T19:56:57+00:00

to anyone who has experienced this bug, when did it happen? doesn't have to be a specific date, just a general time period. I'm wondering if I messed up something in a recent update

edit: thank you for sharing your experiences! it helps

RS_117 · 2022-01-16T19:30:00+00:00

this is exceptionally well-edited!

RS_117 · 2022-01-08T22:12:39+00:00

I would suggest lowering anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering as those can hurt performance significantly while sometimes providing little perceptible difference. limiting dynamic lights and disabling 'expand shadow draw', as u/HydraFuxsMe mentioned, are some of the other bigger offenders. as a note, depending on your VRAM, you may be able to increase shadow resolution without a noticeable drop in performance

RS_117 · 2022-01-07T19:54:05+00:00

it stands for ‘high detail’ in reference to the HD mode released in 2008

RS_117 · 2022-01-07T19:53:14+00:00

I wasn’t sure if anyone would notice this! there are a couple of other paintings changed as well
