Hi! I'm Iain. Not Lain! Like Ian, but with two I's, so I can see you better.
I'm a game developer 🕹️, animator🎬, and artist🎨with a cute cartoony style based out of Michigan.
If you like my stuff, I do contract work! If you need art or programming, send me a DM and maybe we can work something out!

More updates from prototype-greybox-land ⬜:
I added a Korok-style micro puzzle system to my monster taming game :)
Completing the puzzle earns mysterious feathers which can be spend to increase your critical catch rate. Here's a look.
What do you think?

I haven't seen many people talking about it since it released, but I'm really enjoying Kingdoms of The Dump! It's a really solid RPG with good worldbuilding, fun characters, and fantastic music. It feels like a lost SNES title. Congrats to the team, and I hope more people pick it up! Game good!

I think I have the basics for the face animation system in place. Should be expandable for future iteration.

Japan's best stop-motion studio isn't loud about it. But the quiet charm of its work speaks for itself.

Unearthed some extra old npc/attack stuff I had lying around. Was fond of these lil chompy guys when I made em but I wanna model up something specific for the jam if time permits. Quite a mess under the hood tho thats for sure 😅

I've prioritized idiosyncratic floating-cursor aiming in Nightshift over generic rotation-based aiming to allow fixed-cameras and other "curated" arcade-style experiences, differentiating from generic shooters and feeling more "shmuppy".

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard
But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all
(game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw)

Between taking a vacation and getting sick, I thought I wouldn't have much to show for the last couple weeks, but I managed to whip together this camera system in just a few days, so I figured I'd show it off! Very happy with this one. 🔉Sound on if you'd like to hear me explain some of how it works!

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.
It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.
