My first real foray into #Blender #lowpoly design. The idea here was a floating island that's either a relay base or some sort of hi-tech (low vis) establishment.

I've been relooking at Environmental Art, especially in #UE5. I largely stick to #2D (handdrawn), but it's still amazing to see tech artists do stuff!

Probably my fav micro-game to create. Taught me a tonne about Unity + I had fun with sound design (all my own work) + particles (also my own). Also learning how to make trailers!

Loving how accurate the waddling is! And how unbothered the little guy is in this clear horror setting. Typical penguins (hoiho)

[Do note, the games will be in handdrawn 2D. This was just a nice little Blender render (using Grease Pencil) I did of the creature]

Happy Mid Autumn Festival!

To celebrate, Bao is making her own version of a mooncake. I wonder what she filled hers with...

Our upcoming game is about food and we would like to celebrate the different kinds of mooncakes 🥮

Of the many subjects our title Errata deals with, perhaps the most striking one is climate change.

This is a real concern, not just for homes and businesses, but for indigenous people whose cultures are intrinsically tied to land.

Been learning a little bit about "tech" packs (didn't even know what these were, until I watched this video below). Quite neat, especially when you can make them using iPad and Procreate!
