Got my animation bug again and decided to try out Blender's Grease Pencil this time! This is a character I came up with in middle school and still have fond memories of to this day! Started with a sketch in my sketchbook, and then got to work in Blender!

Took a picture of the supermoon tonight. Unfortunately I caught it as it was dying down. Still cool tho!

New Equipment Alert! Mines! They will fire off the deck of your ship and float in the water until an enemy ship runs into them, dealing massive fire damage! I used the red barrel model I made a while ago for the mines, as I thought they just kinda made sense.

New ship alert! Schooners! These ships are halfway between a Brig and a Gunboat. Faster then a Brig, yet more storage and firepower then a Gunboat. Now that I have a lot of the systems in place, making new content is a lot easier!

Newest addition to Reaper's Sea: Torpedoes!
A favorite of my DnD group, these do great damage, but they are slow moving so you really have to lead your shots!
I originally wanted them to be steel but the torpedoes were hard to see in the water, so I went with an iron look.

One of these:
- "Subdivision Surface 60 Times"
- "Mirror Pose Doesn't Work"
- "Needed One Line Change"

Hello there! Got a new Reaper's Sea update for you! We've got Man O' Wars! The largest ship in the Reaper's Sea, they can hold a lot of cargo and a lot of cannons! However, they move and turn slowly, but if they hit you with a broadside, you'll be in a world of hurt! -Relo

Listening to the Hades 2 soundtrack, and here's an instrument combination I would have never thought of: Heavy Synth, Electric Guitar...AND SAXOPHONE?!

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Just finished Little Witch Acadamia last night and how Studio Trigger manages to include a mech in everything they make I'll never know! I'm not complaining, I just think it's really funny. Highly recommend if you haven't watched it!

I am now genuinely worried that the however many thousands of important open source projects hosted on GitHub will eventually be destroyed by Microsoft. Blender, Godot, Bambu Studio, among a whole bunch more that I use on a daily basis, including my own game prototypes such as Reaper's Sea.
GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft, as CEO Thomas Dohmke resigns. GitHub is now moving to Microsoft's AI engineering team, CoreAI, with a new structure for GitHub's leadership team. Details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/757461/...

I've been practicing drawing in between working on Reaper's Sea (which I hope to have an overview video on soon), and I finally got some eyes I like! Only took me ACTUALLY USING A REFRENCE to get right!

Just wanted to share this around. This is a musical tribute to my sensei's late sister in law, written, produced, and performed by her husband, but with AI visuals and vocals matching her from her youth. THIS is what creativity with AI should look like! youtu.be/WIBqiCAZA20?...

I discovered Starship Velociraptor by Galactikraken, Johnathan Young, and Voltan, and I can't stop listening to it! So I decided to make my own version of the Starship Velociraptor in Blender! These guys really did a great job, and you should go watch the music video on YouTube!

I just made a #monsterhunterwilds meal tonight, based on the meal I usually cook in game. I thought it was going to be just ok...this is an 11/10 steak. I CANNOT recommend this enough!

New Short Up on YouTube! I recently played the "Get To The Orange Door" Demo on Steam and was inspired to try my hand at a movement shooter movement system. This is what I came up with after about 2 Hours! Still working on Reaper's Sea of course! youtube.com/shorts/XrYnF...
