I finally added entity composition to the engine. To test it I made some torches - composed of a mesh, flipook animations and audio source (via #SteamAudio) 🔊

Today I spent some time at medieval Ikea and did some woodwork in Blender, here are the in-engine results!
These cupboards will probably hide some loot in the game.

I played the demo for Queen's Domain during my lunch break. It's absolutely gorgeous. If you are craving for a King's Field-like game, then this one should be at the top of your list.

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!

The final feature I worked on in 2025: mesh entity highlighting.
It’s a simple white color mix - going full OG Thief style.
Will be using it to highlight interactions to the player.
I wish you all a Happy New Year! 🎉❤️

In celebration of my Vermis I copy getting delivered, I decided to model a random weapon from the book! The weapon of choice, Dagger of Guilt.
This took around 3 hours to make from modeling and animating to texturing.
