Generating a full ramp for every hue is probably one of the least appropriate technique for design systems I can think of. It assumes every hue can produce a useful set of steps but gamuts are irregular and some hues just can't reach the same chroma and lightness without going dull or distorted

4 weeks now of streaming and developing Red Veil in public. I feel it's really helped my motivation and mental health. Not without its frustrations of course, but having viewers keep me company, help me talk through things has been wonderful.
Welcome to join me weekdays from 1100 UTC!

It's totally safe to switch the Megadrive's background plane address mid-frame, testing that out with some hastily scribbled cloud graphics. Combining that with a raster palette swap and some sprite duplication to make a nice water effect.
This console is fun to tinker with.

working on extra collision and projectile code for one of the #pcEngine project that needs 'fire', so back to the old trick of making 5 source art frames, get a full rotation with horizontal and vertical hardware sprite flips to get a full spin.

on stream today started on some texture tests and vertex shading, making them in Gaea 2 and crunching down to 4bit 128x textures so I may have some wiggle room to add a couple of variants to break repetition

Surprise! My question about simple SVG editors for macOS was to see if I'd missed any apps whilst making my own.
Introducing Scalpel: surgical/atomic edits, changes shown as diffs against original, sync selection across canvas/nodes/layers/code…plus a bunch more unique stuff!
