Right! It’s so fun, and the hand drawn style of the costumes is perfection. I literally thought I was about to watch an illustration tutorial 😆

Growing up, that’d be Worcester (MA), nowadays it’s Sequim.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

This has come together so well! Watching Des go from a pile of salvaged wood bits to what you see here has been such a joy to follow.

To celebrate finally finishing my new table set I got some little touches to make it feel more useable in them encroaching long nights. The overground tube fabric cushion was more silly a idea but now feels incredibly fitting. Now to make the rest of the space as nice. #woodworking

Great success!

Made it @sharpiepls.com! TY for your help earlier.

One note for the docs, maybe. Everything went bonkers from cookies/localstorage in my browser. Clearing that, then starting a fresh login/session cleared all the errors and cached ickyness.

I'll write up all these (gitea setup, object storage + LFS, asset library management, plus eventually Unity on it as well) as three parts of this journey since there's a lot to each. Hope those posts will help folks along if they choose to try this route.

I've been reading up on how to store assets as a library with git + LFS + object storage, but I don't have that up and running yet. I'll probably have enough time to test an initial setup next week, but it seems like that will keep workflow from conflicting too badly.

TBH, I didn't think of it at first, then added LFS to the Gitea install pretty easily. The harder part was getting it installed correctly on Windows, but once I had it on both machines, everything went smoothly.

Back at it after a day "lost" yesterday to setting up Gitea. Trying to set a little mood with quick lighting + tricks so I can think about positioning of details inside, day/night cycle, and eventual texturing. Hope to round out a complete rough draft by Friday afternoon.

#B3D #IndieDev #SoloDev

Same interior, but with a little more structure in place, some colors on objects, and a few lights + emissive tricks to give some idea of the feel I'll be going for at different times of day.

Perfect, thanks!

Finally going to make the jump today. I know you mentioned setting up custom domain after the jump, but should I use my custom domain (current) or original bsky handle (previous/reserved) as the “old handle” value?

And thanks for being both Blacksky hype and tech support rockstar! 🙏

Loads of new faces on here these days!

I'm Friedemann, I made Summerhouse and a couple of other games and am working on Sots & Daggers, a tactical slot machine game where you spin to fight weird creatures!

What are you working on?

Strong “it’s Christmas week so let’s haul out the projector for family memories time before opening gifts and getting a slot track set” vibes.

Adding foreground elements - depth is still vital for 2D games!

Those things are really, reeealllly good, fwiw, if you haven’t tried them.

The aesthetic on this is so fun. I love stuff that’s outside the everyday and that hangs together so well.
