I've burned myself out again... Things are rough and they suck so much but I'm just trying to push through. I'm trying to rest now and get a new job. If anyone is able to share this around in their circles or donate a little, it would help a lot.

Every single person should watch this. Drew perfectly articulates everything going wrong with the world and economy right now. There's so much to chew on here. If you want a concise and easily digestible video on how this stuff is unfolding, please watch.

It's a new month, I'm still trying to sort my job situation out, still unemployed and trying to get on some health insurance. Any little bit would help right now. Please consider donating or sharing this around.

Thank you!

Very rough WIP concept art of what I imagine the UI will be like for an RPG project I've been working on.

Been pretty burnt out lately, so I've shelved the last project I was working on and am looking at returning to the kinds of things I was making before for a bit. Here's a WIP concept art for a character in a larger overarching story, her name is August.

We have some bills approaching and every little bit would really help. If you're able to share it around or donate a little that would mean a lot to me. Thank you.

I was looking at the old school skybox images for Mario 64, and sorta discovered I have a plethora of photography from a few years ago I took with various cameras, with some editing they make great trippy skyboxes...

Been juicing things up as much as I can. Kinda starting to feel like an actual fun platformer to play... Kinda.

Took a lot of tweaking, and visually still needs some work and maybe a bit of game juice... But I have a ledge grab mechanic that works reliably... Most of the time.

I've added a directional air dash, many things still need to be tweaked to contribute to a more smooth and fluid floaty-type 3D Platformer experience. But I've got most of the core mechanics down methinks!

Bit more of a movement demo. I tweaked the animations and added a double jump. Been experimenting a lot with the game feel for how precise vs float-y I want it to be.

Cannot recommend this game enough. My roommate and I are obsessed and starting new playthroughs left and right to explore the branching narrative.

We also got a new bit of vocabulary out of it. We now call chilling at home all day and doing nothing "Checking on the possums in our drawers."
It's Halloween, and the entire first Episode of Scarlet Hollow is free for you to explore on Steam.

Its branching narrative web is so intricate that you'll see less than 15% of the game in a single playthrough.

So get lost for a bit, and see where the road takes you.

Welcome home.

I'm working on a 3D-platformer next. Here's the finished player character model, with textures and all rigged up, this was the idle animation I made today.
