Just wanted to give you all a quick update not only on the next video (the UI one) but also about how stuff is going in general (and again, as always, thanks for your support since your support is the reason why I can do all of this), this is just going to be a stream of consciousness with some updates about what you are going to see next/some random neat stuff I just want to tell you ig haha
- I am shooting to release the next video before the end of the month. Progress on it is thankfully going pretty great, but I spent a few days now honing my skills on some new stuff that I just learned how to do in Blender by accident (pic 1 related, that's a 3d render and I am experimenting with Workbench and Freestyle right now for some stylized stuff) that I think will actually make for some pretty sick sequences.
- I have ALSO spent/am also spending time right now on recreating some UIs and UI elements from scratch with HTML and CSS to understand how some stuff related to them works in the games that I mention/to create some nice sequences from that too, here's a gif from that
- I am working a bit slower than I usually do because... frankly it's because of the weather lol, this is the hottest summer I have ever witnessed firsthand and the AC in my room has been out of service for a bit now, I am fixing it right now but yeah I am still human and I am kinda throttling, but thankfully still moving forward.
The Stuntman project is on hold, I am planning to resume it asap BUT at the same time I kinda (not 100% sure, I am just considering this next idea) also want to make a short video about ChatControl and LoRa (tldr: the EU is trying to pass a pretty weird and dystopian law to literally spy on everyone and everything systematically by forcing messaging app providers and carriers to give them a backdoor into every single device and protocol), so I kinda want to talk about that not in a political left or right lens way but in a "we are all fucked way" since this is a pretty universal problem, analyze why this is stupid and dangerous from the tech side since privacy concerns and power abuse concerns aside, you really cannot create a backdoor and assume it's only going to work for you, which would mean pretty much creating huge exploits on purpose on comms on every single level in the EU, so yeah this is fucked up, I want to talk about it AND about how you can create decentralized messaging networks using Meshtastic and LoRa to avoid all of that.
So this chatcontrol project might come first (second actually)? If it actually, after some more research, still sounds like a good idea
Right after the Game UI video since they are going to be voting on this law super soon (October) and I feel like it's both an interesting topic and also kinda topical time-wise since all around the world we are seeing these sorts of tentative crackdowns on individual privacy, so analyzing why this is fucking awful is always a good thing.
So yeah uhhh in the next few days I will post some snippets from the Game UI vid just to show you what I am up to/get some feedback from you all, then I have these 2 videos as ideas/projects for the future but as always on this channel nothing is set in stone, so just take this as an idea of what I think I will work on soon.
Thanks again for your support!!!

Dang I feel you. It's been 30°+ constantly in my flat for the last few weeks. Just brutal. Stay cool and don't overwork in these conditions pls. 🫠

That UI demo reminds me of the UI from the old Colin McRae Rally games!
