Day 51
Back from vacations! I went back to the idle animation - I dislike how stiff the tail and ears are there. I found this "wiggly bones" addon that changed everything. Really liking how it swings now.

Concept time! A boog character that might be added as playable. Depends whether I figure out how to rig and animate it run in quad mode (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

After day 50 I decided I need a short break. In 50 days I've; learnt Blender to a degree where I can model, rig, texture and animate. I made close to 150 assets (modular, whole, animated or not). I think I deserved a week of vacations. Afterwards, I'll focus on finishing the last bits of foliage.

Day 50
Some more inspired flower. Should I stop with the flowers? Nah, one more...Or maybe I really should.

Day 48 & 49
I made some more foliage and what looks like the most generic filler flower in the history of assets!

Day 47
Today I got a well deserved day of rest.

Day 46
More very simple plants. I might've gone overboard.

Day 45
Some planty shrubs. They are super easy to make, far easier than flowers.

Day 44
I'm on the flower making spree. There's just something calming in sitting down and modeling a simple flower.

A few nice flowers to lighten the scene!

Bunch of bushes. 6 variants ready to go.

Day 40
No screenshot today. It was a short day for me, I took a break and worked on the modular bush pieces for a while.

Day 39
Bunch o' twigs. Closing in on finishing all the basic foliage assets. The finish line is right there.

Day 38
More grass!

GhostPants @ghostspants.bsky.social · 24d

Day 37
Not much happened today, I was mostly tweaking textures. I made drastic choice to change from boring everyday green pines, to more distinguishable autumny and catchy orange. I'll build personality of this area based on this palette.

Day 36
Some more pine trees, this time with pinecones. I think this marks the finish line for trees for this map, wohoo.

Day 35
Some trees and some pinecones. Now I can practically double or triple the amount of pine trees by attaching pinecones to them. Let's go.

Day 34
MUSHROOM!!!!!

GhostPants @ghostspants.bsky.social · 28d

Made some root systems to decorate around the trees. Very simple.

Day 31
A full month! And all I'm making today is grass. Every game needs grass.

Day 30
Another plant day. Today I made this....thing I only remember by the looks, not the name. I'll also make a white variant.

Day 29
Today no screenshot. I spent entire day rearranging, renaming and reapplying textures and managing some folders in the game folder. It took me many hours. I also fixed few textures.

Day 28
It's a second day of leaf day.

GhostPants @ghostspants.bsky.social · Sep 6

Day 27
Leaf leaf leaf. I actually really like how it turned out.
