🙏 Dang. That must be so good.

Beautiful. One question: How does one make bacon at home?

Will my oven also be ai-voice-only-controlled? And airplanes surely too?

I want to then reference the shape in the building scenario, and show the headset in the combat scenario. I want the two to feel as one, making the player feel more for the ship/buildings, as it relates to the protagonist inside/controlling it. Does that make any sense? Or is it farfetched?

Then after putting it on, they become the mech/gain control over a ship...

I was thinking the protagonist could run into this towering statue, and find a mask/crown/headset...

Is this too weird? (thread) #gamedev #conceptart

Is it important to do things that are easy and/or feel like a ‘fuck yeah’ in the early stages of designing a game? If I find something hard to understand, how will the player feel? #gamedev

An idea to add more height to an isometric building grid. Tiles behind other tiles won't be obscured as easily. Plus it makes it look way more dynamic. #gamedev #conceptart #godot

Trying out tiles. It does make it feel more tactile. But it also adds a layer betweeen the player and the fantasy. Instead of building a castle, you're playing a boardgame building a castle... #gamedev #conceptart

Sketch for an exploration phase, where you fly your floating-bunny-castle around, gather some spices, and visit a voodoo hut. Where you just try to get as much done as possible until your flappy-fish-hover-engine dies and the horrors of ground level come crawling up your fort again. #gamedev

Yea. Im now leaning towards pressing a back button to go to the bottom selector. But also, i think moving focus all the way down could allow to jump back into the interface. I also like compare tools, but i’d like the game to stay away from too much comparing, and focus on just playing.
