#DataDevils Log:

I should have some more groundbreaking updates to share soon buuuut not today.

I'd been feeling disheartened lately so I prototyped a slide because sliding makes everything better.

Forgot I needed my gas mask to exist in Iowa this weekend. Corn dust bleeding out my eyes like a Death Stranding cutscene.

#DataDevils Log:

Lately, I've been experimenting with combat. Stamina, enemy behavior, player count, networking...lots of choices to make. But only a few more hurdles & I'll be going all-in on art!

Meanwhile, I added a context-sensitive sit emote, cuz I'm very focused.

A visual history of the awesomeness of the matte painting.

For 120 years of filmmaking, sets and extras have been faked in post instead of being filmed practically, for logistics, schedule and budget purposes.

Matte painters are still on the credits of modern films. Talent remains, tools change.

JINX is a 3D action platformer inspired by Sonic Adventure, Super Mario Sunshine and NiGHTS :-) You can use spell cards and string moves together to move through the stages with style.

The stages are designed to be thoroughly explored like a mario 64 world, but also for speedrunning ala SA1/2

#DataDevils log:

Knockin out bugs & tweakin visuals. Just getting started but hoping to balance lines, an offset rim effect, & simple textures to land somewhere between Windwaker & UPA revival.

Shoutout to @ameye.dev's Linework asset for making it easy to experiment!

Show your OC's eyes. Indie game edition.

Good timing. I recently experimented with adding flaming eyes to the evil ones. (the effect is currently a default prefab from the "All-in-One VFX" asset pack 😅)

#DataDevils Log:

Been busy with new features and bug fixes. I've finally been experimenting with the visual style too - including tweaking materials, experimenting with outlines, and deciding on a style of the "corrupted" DataDevils that you'll encounter in the wild.

#DataDevils Log:

Officially moved over to the prototype hub - excited to share more as things become somewhat "final"!

But it's 2 AM here, I spent all night monkeying around...

It’s almost time… ✨

Only 7⃣ days left until Star Garden: The Trial, a FREE local and online multiplayer demo, releases on Steam! On the same day, you can also support development of the full game on our Kickstarter!

I'm desperate to pay anyone other than Amazon to watch this. Guess I'm waiting for the physical release for now.
Like Nichijou before it, City the Animation is an exercise in seeing just how elaborately you can animate something deeply silly. aftermath.site/city-the-anima...

#DataDevils log: Working on new animations and have the enemy DataDevils are acting a little more...colorful.

Prototyped this (totally original) attack - the plan is for it to knock the players over if they are hit directly or step in it later.

Big shakers need big hats 😍

Absolutely had a blast making some hats for these two. The pink hat reminds me of a strawberry. And I just love the glaze under the brim

I've been meaning to write this for a while, both as an overview over Godot's Environment, and as an entry point to realistic 3D graphics.

Got me reminiscing about the titles I grew up with. Honestly, these two probably had as big of an impact on my love for gaming as some of my all time favorites.
