Spur hears the airlock behind him, waving an excited hello as he sees his dear friend Hadda returning. Living in orbit has its share of hardships, but companionship and camaraderie help melt them away.

He is illuminated by a large hologram showing diagrams and graphs, and is surrounded by many things. The entire room is cluttered with tech, weapons, cables, while the walls are filled with meters, orange crt screens and such. A window leads to the outside, showing a purple nebula in the dark reaches of space. The room extends into darkness beyond a locker with a jumpsuit and some personal assets.

I wish today was a better day, but being with friends and people you enjoy helps to ground you when the world is scary.

Some excerpts from “The Farthest Shore” that have been living in my brain for a little while
A picture of an e-reader, the excerpt reads: "I see why you say that only men do evil, I think. Even sharks are innocent; they kill because they must." "That is why nothing else can resist us. Only one thing in the world can resist an evil-hearted man. And that is another man. In our shame is our glory. Only our spirit, which is capable of evil, is capable of overcoming it." A picture of an e-reader, the highlighted text reads: “Would you give up the craft of your hands, and the passion of your heart, and the light of sunrise and sun-set, to buy safety for yourself-safety forever?” “That is the message that those who know how to hear have heard: by denying life you may deny death and live forever!—And this message I do not hear, Arren, for I will not hear it. I will not take the counsel of despair.”

We tried to keep it pretty simple with the sprites for this game! Most are static, only animated sprite is the background actually, with the portal ripples.

Making a game is tricky, no matter how silly it is. Here's some ideas for when we were figuring out Mothball, for the GMTK Jam a while back! Deciding the game loop early on was the most important part considering the short amount of dev time we had x3

#gamedev #godotdev
A sketch page featuring sketches of a ball court and pillbugs. Notes read: "portal"; "Stage 1: XY movement, Court zone, Shooting (up/down), shooting (4 directions), solid vs portal, ball counter, score/life counter, match timer). Bottom reads: "Moth Ball: Early Concepts 1" A sketch page featuring sketches of a ball court with a moth and different ways of showing points and scores. Bottom reads: "Moth Ball: Early Concepts 2"
