So I checked YouTube Movies again and the movie is back, but the case is still open? I don't recall ever buying the new version of the movie though... hm.
Shoutout to the time I bought Puss in Boots 2 on YouTube Movies back in 2023, it got deleted from my library and reuploaded (meaning I would've had to buy it again), I reached out to YouTube support to get it back, and it still hasn't been resolved to this day.

Finally, the Scale tool is perfectly grid-aligned at all times, perfect for the tile-based top-down perspective from which the rest of the game takes place. You can even shrink objects down to a quarter-sized cube, too!

Working to make the scaling tool work better with the intention of having all object transformations in the game align to a grid, like actual tile-based games. It's not perfect, but it's getting closer.

Started adding an "interaction zone" for the player and used this reference to test it lol. I don't think I'll keep it in, though, since my textboxes take more time than Earthbound's.

Compilation of all the animations for my character, using my 3D prerender with 2D additions pipeline. Took about a week and a half to make and polish all these.

Okay I've only been using one Adobe program for about 4 months, so I'm just finishing it off now. See you hopefully never, Adobe.

The Adobe Animate shutdown wouldn’t hurt as much as it will because it’s subscription-only. If it had a one-time purchase option, you could use that to access your files after the EOL. But no, screw you and your 25-years-worth of .fla files you won’t be able to open anymore.

A whole new set of animations using my 3D-prerender-to-2D-flair pipeline (sprites haven't been fully cleaned yet)

He idles, walks, runs, and hovers in all 8 directions.

What if I played Balatro with a pen tablet like an Osu player

I think the "body in 3D, face in 2D" pipeline test was a success.

I think the pre-rendered 3D model for the character sprite is looking pretty good now. Onward to rigging and doing an animation test. (Side-by-side comparison of the original sprite test vs the 3D render turnaround)

I've been in the zone for 3 hours trying to make a pre-renderable 3D character model for my game's player character

The spatial edit tools make noises when you use them now. Definitely still needs work, but I like the direction it's going in.

My young sister is beating me at having more hours on Steam games by using this genius tactic:

Not knowing how to close the game and leaving it running on the family computer overnight/for multiple days.
