More recently she's been adding tons of little details like gorgons turning things to stone, harpies smelling horribly, etc.

She ended up working just 6 days on the project, but has had a huge impact in bringing more life into our little world.

I'll start with Renate Noel-Tagoe (@insertcat.bsky.social) our VFX artist.

I believe Mythmatch was Renate's first paid VFX work, but her talent was obvious in her portfolio. She started out making this building upgrade effect, which is a centerpiece in videos / trailers.

Mythmatch is getting to the point where some folks are wrapping up their tasks and also, others wrapped long ago, but I'm only realizing now. So I'm going to quote tweet this post to talk about them.

But if you see this, you can see their work in action here:

We're not registered for this Next Fest, but Mythmatch does have a demo available.

store.steampowered.com/app/2490290/...

It's a Greek myth game about extractive capitalism through the lens of the Olympians and their oppressive impact on the mortals of Ithaca.

I might not be making Hades 3, but if this is what anyone is after, PLEASE check out Mythmatch and help spread the word to others who might want this because I am making this and it is good!

I want hades 3: a cozy farm/town simulation a la stardew valley.
You're rebuilding Ephyra and the surrounding countryside after all the gods' bullshit and you have to keep the pantheon pleased while
building your village.

I think Hephaestus is lonely enough. We should let him have this one. 😭

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 2d

Might be a bit difficult to play, but might be worth it for the cuteness. Ha ha ha.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 2d

In Hephaestus's Forge, you can get a little Fire Fox Friend (or two) to help out with the crafting. Now at the right size even!

There are no boss fights in cozy games. Or are there??

Got some lovely animations for this little guy from Hollie. Might have gotten the initial scale wrong, though.

I didn't realize when I posted but today's conversation might have been sparked by the exact same person. Ha ha. Maybe a galaxy brain marketing technique.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 5d

But at least it internationalizes better.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah, I think we can all support each other and hope we can all grow together.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 5d

Honestly, I posted and then someone told me the conversation started from Mike's post and I had no idea. Ha ha. I wasn't specifically talking about him just the general trend I see of the people who give the least complaining the most that they don't get enough.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 5d

Even tiny creators can make good content that people find. Or they can play in a way that helps our design process or let's us know an idea is resonating and we can lean into it. Or they can tell even one other person about it. There's so much value so don't sell yourself short.

I dunno. I think it's fine to support someone when you think they're good and change your perspective when you learn otherwise. I get where you're coming from, though.

Moo Yu (Mythmatch) @oneofmoo.bsky.social · 6d

To be fair, when I said it, I didn't know who started the conversation today so hopefully they don't think I'm calling them out specifically. It's just something I see a lot in all communities, people who only take and give nothing and constantly complain they don't get enough.
