Made a flag for the entity spawner to only work when you aren't looking at the spawner itself.

Here's me totally screwing around within the first 20minutes of importing the model into Godot. I love these clouds but obviously they can't be in every level, lol.

Perfect time to share this old project. Stay warm by the fire 🔥

This is a diorama with a stove in the middle of a stone arch and a brick platform underneath. There are a few accessories around it, such as tools and logs. The background is blue.

It is a viewpoint closer to the scene, centred on the stove with the fire inside.

Close-up of assets: tools for maintaining the fire, the stove with fire VFX, and a metal bucket.

Close-up of VFX and assets: fire with burnt logs and undamaged logs.

I do freelance game art! Concept design, illustration, pixel art, 2D sprites, tilesets, and 3D assets. Here are a few of my favorite 3D pieces.

For more, check out my portfolio: locus7.com

If this post is pinned, it means I have space in my schedule to take on freelance work in the near future.

A 2D digital painting of a crystal sword on the left, next to several rotated views of its 3D game-art recreation.

A retro 2.5D RPG environment and first person shield and axe. The stairway and aspects of the layout are inspired by the Rembrandt painting "Philosopher in Meditation".

Several views of an insect-like spacecraft, created for the overworld view of the game Steam Marines 2.

A low-poly revolver, sitting on a wooden surface. It is surrounded by cartridges, some fired, some unfired, as well as a partially-loaded cylinder. The base of a lantern is visible at the top of the picture.

had to wait until the servers weren't so overloaded, but I'm proud to announce that Quake Brutalist Jam 3 is out now!
there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too!

this was a tremendous group effort, I couldn't be happier!
