Tiny solo dev trying to create a horror game and a 2D animated series one day
Pinned
Updated pinned post as there's so many new faces here so hello everyone!
I'm Chappu and I'm a solo dev working on a handpainted third person horrorgame about an all girls ghost club.

This is what it currently looks like in engine and below you'll find my gamedev recap of everything I've made so far
Do I have car enthusiasts here who can help me figure sth out?
There's loads of lists of cars from the 80s/early 90s that people used to love/still love.
But what where the really normal/bland/uninteresting ones that you saw everywhere? Bonus points for (at the time)affordable ones

I usually don't record my modelling process because it makes me feel like someone's constantly watching and judging me.
But when I made Makena's car I managed to ignore those feelings for two days so have this timelapse.

I wanted to study muscle cars a little, so I painted @marsoid.bsky.social ‘s Sugar because she was one of the first to come to mind.

Just for any other #godot users out there who run into this tansparency issue too. Ie, getting the "darkening" effect on alpha transparent sprites/particles rendered inside a transparent SubViewport.
Give it's SubViewportContainer a premultiplied alpha material. That's all there is to it.

I hope it's somewhat known by now that I love talking about art and sharing my process. If not here's a reminder that you can ask me anything related to the stuff I post or come to me anytime you need an opinion on stuff you make♥️
Give me some time to answer though cause I'm chronically overwhelmed😅
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

The Early Access is live. As promised it's currently a big, empty mess. But hey. Nowhere to go but up.

Video unrelated.

Here are all of the card-based prototypes that I've made so far this year. After looking at this, I've learned that:

1. There are about five main mechanics that I want to incorporate into a game and make work.
2. I use blue and teal *way* more often in my games than I realized.

On that note:
What are your favorite childhood movies?
I just realized that all my favorite childhood movies were massive box office flops at the time.
Treasure Planet and Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas kinda marked the end of 2D animation for their studios and Titan A.E. made its studio shut down completely.

At least Spongebob is universally beloved.

Progress shot of the hair right now.
Cause you asked if I would sculpt it. @jil-hue.bsky.social
This is my third and hopefully final attempt.
I really should have sculpted it😑
But alas I have no knowledge so curves it will be until the end.

Haven't posted a Helmet Head update in a little bit, but I am working hard on it!
In the meantime, here's a random vid showing a grass geometry shader I made for Unity a few years ago that I'm still quite proud of. My attempt at emulating BotW grass 😆
