I've been learning Blender from scratch for about a month now and I'm so proud of my progress!

I enjoy making low poly models and have even rigged a lil vtuber and made a small animated blob too.

If you're also learning Blender or want to get started, I made a doc with resources!

Week 10 of my life sim prototype:
I completed the game loop and have been working on refining the gameplay feel to reduce friction. I have a few more features I want to add, but my next goal is to improve performance for web playability.
