First pass at animated walk.
Have to clean up the pixles from the part repositioning plus a couple tweaks, but he's walkin'. 🚶
Will probably toss it in to #Godot before the clean up to see how it works.
One step at a time... 👀 *pun intended

It's alive! Bwah-haha...
Erm, well basic breathing at least.
Seperated the model's pieces and imported them into #Aseperite to start the basic animation sets, then normals mapping for simulated lighting, and some clothing... 👀🚀

Good Mornin' Peeps!
I finished up the base male body this morning.
Today is going to be getting the base structure for the 8 frame walking animation.
I will need to make a back view, but luckily I dont need full rotations, so that will save a bunch of work... whew!

Another process post.
Experimenting with a 3 colour cell shader visual style.
I need to do proper colour palette and tone down the muscles some, but its a concept anyways and will be in greyscale for ingame skin colour selection, plus swappable heads for customization.
Once step at a time.

This morning's project... a basic 2D ragdoll to make an animation walk template and and get some basic movement into game. I will work on actual character designs later.
Off to runs some errands!

Today is playing around with a seamless background for the underground world where tiles are dug out. Top and fill tiles with a couple varients to break things up. Am going to pop into the game engien to make sure it works before rendering it out.

My previous tilesets for stone and dirt did not work the way I wanted with shaders in game for day/night, so new approach! I am much happier with how this one worked out, so lost time but lesson learned and experience gained. 🎨👍🍻

This means so much to me, as First Aid was my first LCS and the place I would pop into every week when I first started reading comics. James and his staff are exceptional and this is such a cool moment- I hope you can join me for it!

Thank you for the honest-to-goodness proof it can be delivered to Canada safe and sound- and probably in better shape than if it had arrived via omnijet. And all credit to @inkboardstudios.bsky.social for that cover- he did a WONDERFUL job.
