we’ve been testing canvas street on the tv today and it’s just been idling in the background for the last couple hours, I think it’s got a good vibe :)

found a sketch of acmi egg creature from my notebook. they're easy to draw (and hard to animate)
For those who take care of the creature at acmi game worlds...thank you! please keep the hard work...

I’ve been checking the state on our online game server every morning, and it makes me smile to find out the creature’s fully fed:)

our videogame is on show at acmi game worlds!! it’s called ACMI EGG 🧍‍♀️

basically there’s this ACMI CREATURE and we have to keep it alive across a shared save file, in real time, day after day after day. if it runs away it’s everybody’s fault and we can share the guilt🧍‍♀️ also it has secrets! the end!

leura is standing in front of a tv screen that says ACMI EGG. she looks a bit silly

Katsumi is standing in front of a TV screen with an egg on it. he seems hungry? makes you think…

We're improving our demo for the exhibition at Parallels!
I rebuilt the whole rendering pipeline over the last week, and there has been a paradigm shift

- integrated lots of core feature logic with unity apis. It's sometimes frustrating but nice to see things working visually. it means a lot to be able to interact with the world
