I find it *fascinating* when people give some harsh / direct feedback and I reply on Reddit/Discord/Steam forums and agree and thank them then they IMMEDIATELY soften their tone and act a little flustered that they are actually being heard.

We are indeed all human

Putting together this somewhat unique fishing minigame, piece by piece! The bones are here, it just needs the JUICE

For map generation I've opted to use Perlin noise, and write the values out to a texture.

You can see the "debug" view of the proposed map in the bottom left corner which shows different shades of red, indicating different possible tile types you'll encounter.

I ditched the "eyeballs" and went straight for this idea of having pixelly sprite eyes that I can animate much easier and make this lil dude just a bit more expressive

Some more progress on fishing. It's really nice when you can really hear and feel what you are doing.

I've made so many silent prototypes and they are eerie!

Experimenting with some funky visuals - an "everything is wobbling" shader.

Not sure I like it really - it makes a lot of things unpredictable in their interactions

Seeing the sheer amount of (first time) games in NextFest this October, as well as the continuing discourse on indie game marketing on social media just makes me exhausted.

Taking an unusual approach with the next project and starting entirely with world building, 3D modelling and atmosphere.

I know what it should LOOK like, I just don't know how it will play...

So here's a tent!
