Recreating Quake / GoldSrc Movement in Godot 4.0
9 April 2023
About a year ago, I wanted to try making an FPS game using Godot 3.5. I really liked how the player movement in games like Half-life and Quake felt, so I wanted to recreate it. I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, but I never really managed to get my head around it. Finally, I tried again, and this time I got something that I’m pretty happy with. It might not be perfect, as I still don’t really know what I’m doing, but I wanted to document what I’ve learned and share it.
Website Redesign
10 September 2022
Recently, I decided it was time for a redesign, and I’m excited to share the changes I’ve made. First and foremost, I’ve switched over to Jekyll for my blog posts. Jekyll is a static site generator that makes it easy to create and manage a blog, without the need for a CMS or database. This means my blog is now faster, more secure, and easier to maintain.

Book Recommendation: Slaughterhouse-Five
10 November 2020
I highly recommend Kurt Vonnegut’s classic novel, Slaughterhouse Five. This book is a masterpiece of science fiction and satire, and it’s an absolute must-read for anyone interested in literature that challenges traditional narratives and explores complex themes.
Learning Blender
26 October 2020
I want to share my experience with learning Blender to create PSX style low poly 3D models for video games. Firstly, I must say that learning Blender has been a lot of fun. It has been fascinating to see how a basic geometric shape can transform into a complex 3D model with the right set of tools and techniques. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There have been a few challenges along the way.
Graduating During the Global Coronavirus Pandemic
5 July 2020
Graduating high school is a milestone that many teenagers look forward to for years. It is a time when we celebrate the end of one chapter and look forward to the beginning of another. However, for many of us who graduated during the pandemic, this milestone was bittersweet, to say the least. The experience was harrowing, and we were left without many friends or much idea of what to do. I originally wanted to avoid writing about this, but as it’s been a few months I feel it might be helpful to write about how I’ve been feeling.
Hello World
12 May 2020
I recently spent some time putting together this new website for personal use. While I wanted to keep things simple, I also wanted to include a blog system to share my thoughts and experiences with others. It’s currently using PHP (which I kinda hate but idk what else there is) and some janky code I found on GitHub for the posts.
