That's not the point of the damn review blog posts! Here's what happened from the last blog through this past Wendesday, even though I'm writing this on the following Monday. I did end up updating the textures on the house in my yard render like I said I might in the last update.

Specifically a toucan. So I modeled one: And then assembled it: Ha ha…yes…yes… It's interesting to compare these side by side. Some of the sharp angles of the model are smoothed, like where the beak connects to the head. If I were more careful I could probably replicate these more faithfully, but if I feel like the model is lacking those… ## [Week in Review #30: Articulated Guys](https://johnholdun.com/articles/week-in-review-30) _2026-08-04 · John Holdun_ This is the latest I’ve ever been on a week in review.

Play Five to Nine . My not-engine, Dollhouse, ended up working great. I made some improvements to collision detection and animation management and camera movement and dialog UI, and—this is the most interesting part to me—none of it was specific to this game. I could plop new Ink and GLTF files in front of this same script and it would be something… ## [The Claude Prompts That Saved Me 20 Hours This Week](https://sufyanmaan.substack.com/p/the-claude-prompts-that-saved-me) _2026-07-25 · Sufyan Maan, M.Eng · PATHWAY_ 8 copy/paste prompts, and of course the reasoning behind each one! ## [ThreatCrush on GitHub (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/SDz6u6fEzq7h) _2026-07-25 · **Sponsored**_ View the ThreatCrush listing on the GitHub Marketplace. ## [Five MORE excellent things to do in Provence](https://theearfultower.substack.com/p/five-more-excellent-things-to-do) _2026-07-24 · The Earful Tower's newsletter · The Earful Tower_ And a book signing in Paris - come and say hi! ## [Fireworks, theatre, Provence, and getting beyond the Paris checklist](https://theearfultower.substack.com/p/fireworks-theatre-provence-and-getting) _2026-07-19 · The Earful Tower's newsletter · The Earful Tower_ There's plenty going on in Paris and Provence - here's a breakdown. ## [Pygmalion as a Software Developer](https://kyle.au/blog/pygmalion-as-a-software-developer) _2026-07-19 · Kyle Phillips · Kyle Phillips_ Nosdesk was perfect for about a year, because it only existed in my head.

It's definitely not an engine ; I'm fairly convinced that a game engine is not something I want for myself or to provide for other people, especially after reading this article (ᔥ Casey ).

Almost all of my excess anxious energy the last few days has been funneled into this game engine. Let's review: This is a browser-based game engine for 3D walking around type games. Not platformers. There's no jumping. 3D asset development and level design happens in Blender. The world is exported as a single GLB file.

For some reason the thing I most look forward to when visiting Palm Springs is sitting in front of this loud-ass fountain sculpture with a muffin and a cold brew. (This is at Koffi across the street from the Ace Hotel. If you're staying at the Ace and don't want to get in the car, I highly recommend it!)
