Happy #screenshotsaturday, folks.
I've been mocking up some ideas for the hub biome in Helmet Head, and the portal that will teleport you between biomes. I'm liking the vibe of this so far. The setting will be the site of an ancient, titanic battle. Still needs more to bring that across.

Got sick of Unity's animation system so decided to delete all the transitions and just write some code.
I think it's easier to understand now. Definitely need to move the if/else into some sort of state machine or something. Need coffee 😀

Playing around with animations. Don't let the door hit you on your way to watching this clip 🙂 (I don't know if that made any sense. It's late and I'm tired 😪)

Reading IGN comment sections is a spectacular way to feel bad about absolutely everything that happens ever.

"Fckin disgraceful, I watched half the first half and it's woke nonsense. Waste of tim"
Poor Tim.

Thought my computer had a virus or something because I now can't change filenames from lower to uppercase (or opposite) without it just saying "nah, fuck you". AI options all over the place now. Menus resizing in real time. Great update!
Time to commit to Linux.

I have nothing fun to share this evening so I'll just do a backflip in me wheelchair for you all...
Done.
You'll just have to trust I'm telling the truth. Would I lie to you? Don't you know me at all?

I've been having such a good time programming lately. Things have been working and my work has been really good. I knew eventually, the good times would have to stop and those pesky bugs would wiggle back in.
Well, they are here, in force, in numbers, and about to be incinerated!

This is absolutely not a fun day! I hate this guy!

Took a break from the stressful stuff to polish the fire particle effect. Next up: Animation.
I need a custom animation system for this character that will seamlessly transition between multiple animations depending on the physics. Should be a fun day tomorrow!

Still working on my gesture drawings and thought I'd try and use them for something.

I think my gesture drawings are improving. They have got less stiff as the days roll on. Couple this with some anatomy study and hopefully I'll be able to draw something cool soon 🙂

Spent a lot of last week making art assets look less like penis'. Then I loaded up my level editor and ahh...this was supposed to be gun shaped.
I very much regret choosing purple as a base colour. Maybe pink next time 🤔
