Update on this evolved Tardigrade type of enemy. It will be slow and heavy hitting, clearly telegraphing its swipes.

Hearing Lovecraft describe perfect lifeforms that rule the earth long before humankind, I always think of Tardigrades or Water Bears. So when everyone in Pergamum died they took over.

Here's one of the more bleak scenes of Pergamum.
Incidentally, we are going through hard times since my s/o was unfairly fired from her job by new owners- please support me on ko-fi this week if you can!

New owners bought my s/o's workplace and cut her to just 3 hrs per week. Then, when she filed lost wages, they fired her and lied to unemployment saying her removal was for "Misconduct"

While it's disputed we can't afford gas, rent, pet food etc. so any help is appreciated!

Incomplete scene but I'm now approaching the endgame area and it indeed feels ominous. #Crocotile3D

So this is my process now: Draw the thing in 2D, and figure out how to cut it up into a 3D mesh later!

Been doing some minor stuff on this project recently, such as adding NPCs, reworking some rings, and trying to make anything halfway decent in famitracker.

Eliza is scaring off all the blackbirds in Pergamum. But don't worry, they come back after a short time.

My best friend Mulberry is taking care of me while I'm sick. Rescued her from being trapped in the wall when my dumbass neighbors got evicted. Her other two sisters were harder to catch cause they threw them out the second floor window! #cats #pets

Here's me totally screwing around within the first 20minutes of importing the model into Godot. I love these clouds but obviously they can't be in every level, lol.

I got the first implementation of the Spectral Chain working pretty well. Also the trees will be replaced with glowing mushrooms soon, trees don't grow underground!
