I saw Breyer on his tour for this book and started reading it thinking I'd enjoy it. 18 months later I'm still struggling to get myself to finish reading it. I just can't...

Oh it definitely will. Private Equity has a deep history of tearing up assets into pieces to get as much $ out of it as possible.

We can only hope that they sell off some of the titles to other studios and the new studios improve on what EA has done (or failed to do in some cases!)

Some additional updates. I've updated all of the artwork for the trees, shrubs, and grasses so that each plant has its own artwork. Still more work to do to get the look just right but it's coming together!

Working on new artwork for trees in my game.

Question 1 - Are the big trees too big, or is the small one too small?
Question 2 - Which style do you like better? The tall ones have less detail in leaves

I’m not sure yet since I’ve never made a game before. My plan is to soon have a Steam page for wishlists and will probably put out a roadmap at that time.

Thanks! I’ve done it all myself except the art. I’m using several different art packages from artists on itch.io. I’ve made some minor changes to the art to get it to work together though.

I'm working on a cozy rpg game, and I've been doing a lot of work lately on the UI and skill tree. Here's a quick look as I'm working to "make it exist first." What do you all think of it?
