NINTENDO 3DS!

WAIT I STILL HAVEN’T MADE A DEVLOG FOR THIS???

okay so, i began working on this page MONTHS AGO but i stopped for a while, and eventually moved on to my other two projects that I’ve made here so far (FUNNY MIC and LARPARDY). I THOUGHT I MADE A DEVLOG ALREADY BUT APPARENTLY NOT SORRY LOL

YIPPEE NEW STUFF!

This is my next shrine page, for the Nintendo 3DS, which has been weirdly important to me, lol.
The thing is, I decided that I wanted to make this like an actual 3DS, because I thought that would be fun! And you can visit different pages through the HOME Menu.
There is a LOT of time logged here because just to get to this point, I have had to:

• Rip packaged HOME Menu assets from my personal 3DS
• Figure out how to actually get the textures and such out of those assets
• Turns out those textures don’t have colors. Rip the colors from the material files
• Couldn’t figure out how to get the models, so recreate the spinny animation in Blender
  • I DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE BLENDER VERY WELL LOL
• Recreate the top screen background in DaVinci Resolve
• I already had ripped the HOME Menu audio a long time ago for other stuff, but now I had to make it loopable
• Fit those assets in a 3DS image with HTML and CSS (RAAAAHR)
• JavaScript pain
  ALL for this so far… but I think it’s worth it. It’s only the beginning! And I think having all of these sells it a lot better than it would otherwise.

NEOCITIES LOG 1

hihi! i’ve been on Neocities for a while, but, y’know, i haven’t had a good place to log my development process before! so this seems fitting.

i finally finished and published my Bluey page! it is LITERALLY a children’s show but despite that i became obsessed with it last year, and i think it’s actually really neat and really is worth the recognition. i started working on this shrine page mannyyy months ago and i’ve finally recently had the time to finish it to my liking!

one of my favorite parts of my shrine pages is matching the styling! i “borrowed” some CSS (mainly colors) from the actual bluey.tv website to help, but learning CSS while making this website has definitely been interesting lol

the voice clip buttons also use a convenient nunjucks macro to save me some time (and it keeps consistency)!

{% macro audio(url) %}
<a
  href="#"
  onclick="new Audio('{{ url | escape }}').play(); return false;"
  aria-label="Play voice clip"
  ><i class="nf nf-fa-play"></i
></a>
{% endmacro %}

this would probably be better with a dedicated script, but that seemed like a bit much for this task IMO so i did NOT do that lol

in general i learned actually quite a lot about CSS from this, i cannot lie lol

i’m quite happy with how this turned out in the end. whether or not you care about the show, i hope it’s worth a read!

(psst, also, the time logged for this devlog is quite small because most of this page had been done before Stardance! i just finished some touchups today and merged it.)
