Broadcasts from the workshop — devlogs, research, and build notes.
SpiceX Level Bible: The Ten Levels, Verb by Verb
The design bible for SpiceX's ten platformer levels — one verb per level, rest-spike-rest pacing, and the rule that every gap obeys one measured jump. Built from the live scenes, not a wishlist.
Teaching a 3D Scene to React: Raycast Hover, Click Particles & Camera Transitions in Threlte
HTML buttons don't belong on a 3D homepage — so the buttons became meshes. Building the interaction layer for a Threlte scene: raycast hover, cursor states, click particles, and camera transitions between sections.
Play-Mode VRM Drag & Drop: Swapping Cleetus for Any Avatar Mid-Game
How we made SpiceX accept any .vrm dropped onto the window at runtime — registering VRM glTF extensions in-game, retargeting 121 animation clips onto a strange skeleton, and re-binding head-look without touching Cogito.

I Bought a $119 SBC for My Birthday and Now My AI Has a Backup Brain
How a Zimaboard2, a Discord bot called SpicerLink, and some janky SSH tunnels turned a single-agent setup into a distributed consciousness — and what it actually unlocks.
finSCHIZODIO::: Mouth Pipeline & UV Shapekey Standards
The technical spec for bringing 15 mouth traits from 2D flatness to 3D expression. Pipeline, viseme standards, and the UV shapekey system that makes lip-sync work across every SAUCE head.
finSCHIZODIO:::devlog1: The Eyes Are FINALE
Texture atlas done, 26 eye variants locked, mechanical eye meshes shaped. Stirring the sauce has never tasted this good.
Windows AI Server Architecture: Running Unsloth Studio on the Host, Accessing It From WSL
How I finally got GPU-accelerated AI models running for Hermes by putting Unsloth Studio on the Windows host and tunneling into WSL with netsh portproxy.
WEARHAUS: The Launch — From Build to Burn
Devlog #3: How the WEARHAUS crew turned a warehouse vision into a ~23 avatar launch party — the team, the fashion, and the proof that venues beat museums.
We Tried to Run Multi-Agent AI on a $300 Mini PC. Here's What Went Wrong.
A field report on attempting to run Hermes multi-agent profiles on local Ollama inference — and why the RTX 3060 in a ZimaBoard couldn't hack it.
The Doc Arrives: DOCTORDripp, the Wearable, and the Drop System — WEARHAUS Devlog #2
Devlog #2: How a broken wearable, a prototype identity layer, and a missing drop system all got fixed by one builder joining the team.
From Warehouse to Worldwide: WEARHAUS Genesis Devlog #1
