I'm ecstatic to see so many people enjoying the recent video on Super Mario Galaxy's spherical planets. It's been such a huge project for me that I was worried it wouldn't get any traction, but it's been doing fairly well! By far, though, the biggest request I've gotten is.. more detail! A lot of you want me to dive far deeper into the technical nitty gritty, explaining the 3D math behind each of the gravity fields, and the inner workings of the gravity system as a whole.
And I think that's a great idea!
So! My new plan is to still try to edit Part 2 of the Scruffy interview first, and have that up relatively soon, but after that, I'm going to start on the sequel to this video. And since it'll be more direct, and more detailed, I want to take the opportunity to experiment with the format; my typical "YouTube voice" just isn't the vehicle to talk about dot products and cone-ray intersection. So please bare with me while I figure all of that out, but I promise I'll try to keep it as interesting as I can, while going into a lot more of the actual underlying mechanics. Who knows, maybe it'll even be a livestream, and you can come hang out and ask me some questions directly! Does that sound like a good idea? I've never done one of those before, so it'll probably be a glorious disaster, but... I'm super excited!
