Here are the original paintings for Villin from Somniphobia!
I simply paint out the body parts, take a photo of them with my phone and use lasso select in GIMP to carefully cut out the body pieces. Then I can just stick them all together in Unity 😄

For our first year at uni we had to make a game in multimedia fusion. If you can spot any bugs in this play-through, let me know!

New Rover... new Look Home icon! 😎
In the Christmas update we had the new rover model, however we still had the old Look Home icon - this new icon was on our backburner for a while, but now it's finally here!

Thank you @developertom1.bsky.social for the shoutout! I have enjoyed every moment working at Free Range Devs! 😀
Ethan's work on the research database is just incredible 🤯
He created the system which lets us catalogue a whole planet - it took a lot of work and he absolutely crushed it! 🥳
Y'all should check out his solo developed games on steam too:
