I prepeared this gif on the 1st of January for the Trump/Musk breakup.

Added a horse.

I really like the horse designs in #Asterix, but I failed with the head. I'll figure it out one day. I only now realized that the animation looks horrid when the speed is between a walk and a trot.

Reworking and testing the first temple is taking a very long time. I'm trying my best to not make the four normal tracks too similar - otherwise I would have left this one out because of how much work it is. I hope it'll be a fun track. #Amphibia
3D fangame. Yunan is flying on a kill-a-moth towards an unfinished version of the first temple. It can be entered from several floors. The surrounding area is still bare bones - only showing that it'll be a green area with trees and tree-sized, glowing mushrooms.

Editing the temple for the Amphibia game is taking an awful lot of time, so here's a feature I added to the #Asterix game a couple of months ago - Asterix losing feathers when losing health. Animations will also change, but I won't work on that until late in development.

Need to switch between projects every now and then to keep the burnout away. This little #Asterix project is an extremely early prototype, and I only work on it when I need a break from the Amphibia game.

I might have been a little bit ambitious with the competition. Especially when I'm making it game ready with low and "high" poly versions at the same time. But even if I don't make it in time for the competition, I do need this for the game. #Amphibia
A WIP. 3d model of the first temple from Amphibia. No textures made yet. The temple itself is mostly just boxes with a simple ramp where there will be stairs. Some statues and water tunnels are only missing textures: on either side of the ramp is a water tunnel shaped like a round frog head, with a grid in the mouth, and a large mushroom on top of the head; the entrance is a similar but larger frog head with a door with a frog's face on it. It has a brain on top of its head; on either side of it are frog statues on pedestals, holding brains; on either side of those are water tunnels with only the round frog head shape; on the floor above are newt statues on either corner, leaning out, away from the temple walls; on top of the temple is a large diamond with a frog foot on top of it.

After testing Unity 6 for a while, I finally upgraded this project to the latest version. The older version has had some really troublesome bugs for years that significantly increased the time I spent doing anything other than programming. Now they're no more! #Amphibia
3D Amphibia fan-game. Anne is riding Bessie on an open path through a forest towards a massive tree with an entrance covered with moss - the entrance to the Bizarre Bazaar. Between Anne and the tree, glowing yellow and orange mushrooms line the path to the entrance, and a small, round, purple creature with a leaf on its head is running towards it as well.

Finally added this game's bananas/coins! Gotta be careful not to place the green gems on grass and similar ground though. #Amphibia #gamedev

I spent so many months just modelling that I was forgetting how to program. So I've mostly been programming the last month. Learned lots of new stuff! I won't rewrite all the Amphibia Racing code, but I can finally fix a troublesome bug. Made this little Asterix thing for practice.
3D game with the screen split for four players. The area is a very simple flat, green area with one large, grey ramp. Each player controls one Asterix (character from the French comic series of the same name). Player one has an Asterix that looks like the original, and is running towards two other players, away from the camera. Player two has a light red helmet, and is jumping into the air. Player 3 has a green helmet, and is making a blocking motion. Player 4 has the 1940s Asterix wearing a French Resistance armband, and riding a 1930s motorcycle.

Trying out other people's character controllers when your characters have wild proportions is always interesting. Anne and Leif have had better days.

Last year's version of the first world vs today's version. Working on making important places easy to find while on the ground. #Amphibia #gamedev
3D game. Player controls Anne flying on a Kill-a-moth. They're flying above a green area with a few trees and a dirt road snaking through some tiny hills towards a forest in the background. To the right is a simple, grey temple covered with massive branches. New version of the area from the first image. There are far more trees, and some bushes and glowing mushrooms. There's a river to the left with a small bridge. A few houses beneath the player: a large log house, a couple with thatched roofs, and a house made from a giant mushroom. There are snow covered mountains in the background.

Wasn't gonna post this here, but figured maybe someone will appreciate it in these shitty times. Looked outside before going to bed last night, and was rewarded. (Norway)
Northern lights looking like it's raining down from the upper left corner to the bottom right. It's an equal mix of light green and light blue colors. A red part of it starts as a ball in the upper middle-left, and runs down the photo like watercolor. Lots of stars can be seen behind it. A mountain with a little snow in the background covering the bottom 1/4th of the photo. A large scots pine in the foreground in the bottom left, stretching above the mountain in the photo. The sky is covered with a green northern lights. Behind it are lots of stars. The Troll Wall covering the bottom 1/3rd of the photo. A green northern lights shoots out from behind the mountains, across the sky to the top of the photo. Lots of stars behind it.

It was sad to let go of the old character selection screen, but it was getting too difficult to keep user friendly. (I should probably post some old images here soon.)
This scene was put together quickly in Unity to see if it could work. #Amphibia #gamedev
3D game. Simple, green area with some tulips in the foreground, and trees in the back. Two houses to either side of the image. Lots of characters are sitting or standing by a large statue of a frog. From left to right: Beatrix, Tritonio, Olivia, Yunan, Marcy, Hop Pop, Maddie, Anne, Polly, Sprig, Ivy, Sasha, Grime, Loggle and Albus, and Crumpet sitting on the statue's shoulder.

Figuring out how to decorate the hub, but an issue I've been having is how tiny the houses look while riding.

I try to keep the areas as close to the show as possible, but I have to make lots of changes to make it playable in a racing game. #Amphibia #gamedev
A 3D Amphibia game. The area is green, with mountains to the right. Grime, riding a snail, is facing the camera. Albus Duckweed is standing nearby in a circle of tulips. Behind them are two houses: a house carved from a giant, red mushroom, and a normal house which is the Grub & Go.

I was completely stuck for months trying to stitch the maps together, so I redesigned almost everything in a couple of weeks. The first world (with 4 normal tracks, 1 boss track, and 1 battle stage) is progressing really well. #Amphibia
3D Amphibia fan game. Yunan is riding a kill-a-moth towards some snowy mountains in the horizon. There are forests and open fields in the middleground. A river is stretching from the foreground towards the mountains. To the left in the foreground are smaller mountains with a bit of snow on them.

I spent several weeks making my #Amphibia character models ready for download (minus rigs). Then found out I need to read the fine prints in various licenses to stop Disney from using them commercially without paying me. I'll get back to it one day, but now I have no motivation. Back to the game.
An overview of 3D Amphibia character models in t-pose. From left to right, 1st line: Anne, Beatrix, Crumpet, Duckweed, Grime, Hop Pop. 2nd line: Ivy, Leaf, Loggle, Maddie, Marcy, Olivia. 3rd line: Polly, Sasha, Sprig, Tritonio, Yunan, sheep-fly. 4th line: Joe, Bessie, Domino 2. Last: Chicka-Lisk.

I never cared for trophy races, so one of the first features I worked on was a race where you go through each track in an area in any order (you can do parts of one track, move over to an other track, then get back later). That means leveldesign is gonna be hell though. #amphibia #gamedev
3D racing game based on Amphibia. The player is Crumpet riding on a kill-a-moth through a mountain area, heading for a large yellow/orange ring in the air. A few evergreens are scattered around on the mountain. In the background to the right is a green area with fluffier trees and some ancient factories. AI racers are racing in a cricle in the green area.

Finally starting to get the minimap working again. I was kinda shanghaied into a band, and I suddenly got obsessed with Don't Starve, so I haven't worked as much on the game as I used to. #amphibia
3D fan-made racing game based on Amphibia. Split-screen two player game with each player using a horizontal half of the screen. The minimap is in the middle on the right side. The track is shown as a simple, white line, and the characters (Anne and Beatrix) have very simple icons on the map. The icons only shows the head and hair shape, and the most prominent colors. They have no eyes.

First time going to a Halloween party, and first time I've dressed up! I won a prize for the funniest costume!
A person wearing a mask which is simply Elon Musk's face printed on paper, and holding a dead, blue bird cut out from cardboard by its feet. The bird's dead eyes have crosses over them resembling the X logo for Twitter.

Today is two years since I started working on #Amphibia Racing! It wasn't supposed to get any further than the first image since I knew how much work #gamedev is, but it just kept evolving. I wanted to get a demo done last year, but a big change in what needed to be tested put a delay to that.
3D game. The player is controlling Sasha and Bessie. They're moving around on a simple, light green terrain with a few tiny hills, and a grey box in the middle. Bessie only has a simple move animation, while Sasha has none. The player (Anne and Bessie) and other characters are on the top of the hill. The green slope has texture. Both sides of the road has a fence made up of low cattails with wooden poles between them. Large flowers and grass straws are peeking up from the slope. The player is moving towards a red and yellow striped speed boost pad. The UI shows some info on the top of the screen: the player's current rank, laps, the number 0, and a timer. They're in a font similar to Amphibia's logo. On the bottom left is a square image off a boomshroom.

Wasn't going to make Joe until next year so I could concentrate on the tracks and coding. But I just couldn't help myself. The model's still pretty rough though, and the texture is the bare minimum, and the rig needs to be redone. #Amphibia
3D racing game based on Amphibia. The player as Marcy and Joe is flying over a mountain road. Speed lines of different colors (mostly yellow) are stretching from the characters towars the edges of the screen. Joe's tilting a little to the left. On their left are a bit higher mountains, and on their right is a long slope with fir trees, ending at the hub area which is Wartwood but currently without buildings.

The test track for #Amphibia Racing from the first to the current version. #gamedev
3D game. Anne and Bessie are racing on a grey road. There's nothing else in the area - just a simple, dull blue sky switching to grey under the horizon. The road has changed to a simple dirt road. It's on a hill, with a green slope on its right, and a short, light grey wall on its left. The lighting makes the sky less dull, and the grey part under the horizon is no longer visible. The player (Anne and Bessie) and other characters are on the top of the hill. The green slope has texture. Both sides of the road has a fence made up of low cattails with wooden poles between them. Large flowers and grass straws are peeking up from the slope. The player is moving towards a red and yellow striped speed boost pad. The UI shows some info on the top of the screen: the player's current rank, laps, the number 0, and a timer. They're in a font similar to Amphibia's logo. On the bottom left is a square image off a boomshroom.

Mostly been fixing bugs the last couple of weeks. Still a few left. Also almost completed the first test track and finally started adding sounds and music. #gamedev #Amphibia
3D racing game based on the TV-series Amphibia. 4 player split screen. All characters are riding snails of different colors. Top left is Anne; top right is Hop Pop; bottom left is Marcy; bottom right is Yunan. They're racing in an open, green area with abandoned factories - including one they have to race through. A large, wooden hanging bridge connects the road.
