Nothing much new to show, but as an amateur dev this scene transition was kind of an accomplishment! Only took the morning, and I'm feeling ambitious still.

What do I add next? Honest question, as I value feedback.

I made my absolute first 3D scene ever in #Crocotile3D
Really an amazing program, picked it up on the steam sale.

First attempt at making Pastel de Nata, turned out tasty! Only problem is the sides got burnt instead of the middles... but learning this recipe will save me a trip to Portugal.

First test of animated tilesets for the Forsaken Sands area.
This is a mashup of a couple tilesets right now, in future it will be jagged cliffs, lighthouses, and abandoned aquaculture.

Alongside Hayao Miyazaki and Hidetaka Miyazaki
one of my greatest inspirations is Mr. Rogers

I hope his gentle words of wisdom and kindness resonate with you as deeply as they do with me 🌸

Taking a while to address performance issues, I'm not sure if it's because I'm using a bootleg frankenstein'd linux machine or not but it should damn well run on a potato by my standards!

I made an enemy spawner, slapped the Graven Beast's heart on it, and now I've been using it as kind of a test dummy.
I should really get back to work. 😅

I'd be very grateful if someone on Bluesky noticed my art! I'm an experienced illustrator and also a theater artist. It's difficult for me to master a new social network. I'd be very happy to meet you all! Let's be friends!🙏🏻

Testing out pre-rendered backgrounds. Not sure if this is the way to go, but it was pretty simple to build out this small level.

There's definitely drawbacks, but it does look pretty.

QOL: mini-map

This feature is quite old, but it was removed from the demo version because it wasn't ready yet. I still need to polish it up, though :).

No new animations yet, but I am building out the map.
Could this be a small metroidvania type of map?
