Loneliness is tough
🔥Warmth in the cold, frigid emptiness is important
You might find it in unexpected places
Some bad

🧊 Diving deep into a mind is like breaking through ice. Progress means making cracks in unintended directions. ⛓️‍💥

I may have made the 3D effect but @olov.bsky.social made the actual graphics for the White Hook River logo! ⚡
Thank you Olov! 😃

💡 The idea is that snow levels on the ground will rise when there is heavy snowfall 🌨️

🤔 I'm not planning for it to be in real time though but rather from one in-game day to the next 🌄

🐟 Working on "levels" for the fishing spots

👷 I want each fishing spot to have its own layout in terms of fish, obstacles, pick-ups etc. 😀

💥 Still experimenting with pick-up VFX, could this be something? Streaks of pixels rising up? Explosions?

🤔 It doesn't need to make perfect sense in the world, this is mostly for the player.

👀 Have I reached it? Experimenting with max level of snow. I'm starting to think this might be it... 🤔

Put a link to White Hook River in the comments though the Steam page needs an update 🙃

🌨️ Watch your step! Too much may be revealed under snow at White Hook River ❄️

Deforming snow is a great way to hide and reveal all kinds of things 😉

🦘 Jumping was actually not in the initial design for White Hook River

📽️ It came about when we shifted from strictly 2D to a 3D/2.5D perspective

😄 Quite a happy "accident"!

😃 Doing some sort of VFX for pick-ups (of course) but haven't found "it" yet...

🤔 It hides under snow... ❄️
