Same. I look scary every day.

This looks like so much fun! Congrats on the announcement!

I love my reMarkable(s). The isometric grid along with the auto-straightening of handdrawn lines make it perfect for initial level designs and mockups.
I also love being able to cast to the screen (while screensharing) to do live illustrations and doodles for team members.

I first spotted the game (toy?) via @nvgotd.bsky.social Thanks @jamesbatchelor.bsky.social !

Shit! That's an awful curveball to have thrown at you Martin - hope you're managing to keep your spirits up!

First 5 Steam purchases. I miss old school PopCap.

Yeah, some of them must be 13 years old. Hope all is well with you!

And how come I only feel 2 years older, but look 29 years older? Time is a bit of a bastard!

And a flyover of one of the first full world layouts I attempted. At this point I was still trying to figure out distances, event density and walk speeds.

And this was my hilarious attempt at placeholder weather changes that would happen during certain encounters. I am not a technical artist ;)

This video is from before we were signed by Sony

More BTS Rapture screens...

I'm one of those designers that doodles..

Guiding the player through an open(ish) world without the help of explicit missions or UI was a nightmare. I think the village area probably changed layout a dozen times before we locked it down.

(You can see a gun because at that stage I hadn't figure out ow to remove it from the CRYEngine default character. And I kinda liked shooting things while I was building the prototype)
