Figuring out what it is I do other than library work...
Got buttplug-rs v2.1 out the door over the weekend. After a few hiccups due to still not having quite enough test coverage, I think we're good.
Well I promised bloopers in the tiers at one point, but the past couple of years are mostly me yelling at code so not many interesting ones have happened.
I've been trying VRChat + VibeGoesBrrr this weekend, which has taken some learning to try and get the avatar workflow correct. Above is a video of me trying to intersect a grabbable object in VRC with a collider area to try and trigger a toy and it's... not working well.
Staring at polls.
So last week I decided to try one of my "is there anything else y'all" want polls. The results:
Ok, I haven't run one of these in a while, and I'm quietly hemorrhaging patrons lately (while still getting some new ones, so hi new ones!), so:
Is there something y'all want more of?
Tests!
This has been another week of finding out exactly how broken Buttplug is. Lots of firefighting as bugs show up in different parts of the system, though most are in the core buttplug-rs library. The good news is that a lot of these bugs are being found by new devs, who are pretty good about reporting them and helping to test after patches, so the project is still seeing growth.
Threw together a quick video to compare the Lovense Edge 1/2, talking about the differences in the new product. All in all, it's a pretty decent upgrade!
(Weekly update tomorrow)
Buttplug v2!
After discovering some nice structures in tokio v1 that would allow me to massively clean up some of the nastier parts of Buttplug, I spent the last week doing just that.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
Well, it took me 3.5 years to get to v1, and now ~3 weeks to get to Buttplug v2. >.<
Now that Buttplug is post v1, I'm trying to be a little more public in the "what I did" stuff, so the Monday newsletter here can hopefully focus more on "here's what I plan to do" with the ability for you to give me feedback. This is the first blog post I've made with updates from the past 2 weeks, including a lots of library updates and a new GHR version.
LAUNCHING V1. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I LAUNCHED V1.
