The herbalists guide is a game currently in early development about forest exploration and potion crafting. It's the passion project of one ambitious hobbyist.
That's not a mushroom, that's a whole mushhouse!

Worked on some pathways and fences, now the area already looks a lot more structured (*^-^*)

I've been on holiday from my work and making a lot of progress with assets. I should be able to show off some more progress soon, but for not it's time for a breather in my quaint little garden! (~ ̄▽ ̄)~🌸

So my little hub town begins.. 1 cottage and a scrolling water texture that only took breaking and repairing every single material I have created `(*>﹏<*)′
I also added some pixelation to the camera - wasn't sure about it at first, but it does suit the style quite nicely!

I can place stuff! In and outdoors! And actually get moved back outside the tent when I leave! I'm so happy this finally works q(≧▽≦q)

I have unlocked the power of converting a video to gif

The scenery changes between autumn and spring. I think both are quite cozy so far, but I also want to make a lot more spring flowers. Maybe I'll develop more of a preference once the spring scene is drowning in colors 🌷💐🌹👀

I haven't even shown off a piece of properly put together scenery yet! As always, everything is still a work in progress so don't look too hard, but I'm quite happy with the overall look!
Some day I'll learn to record gifs so I can show you how nice the falling leaves look 🍃

🌷🌻Seasons!🍂❄️
I started this project back in autumn, so with the inspiration from then, I've been making an autumnal scenery. Now that spring is sprungling all around me, I need to see it in game too! Starting off with some simple retextures~
Crawling back into my hole to make spring flowers now🌸

I've been looking at all the trees I've walked past today, staring at their branches to figure out where I went wrong with my birch tree... From an outsider perspective, it must have looked like I was paranoid about being stalked by Ents.
It really helped, though. V3 is a huge improvement!

It's a mushroom eats mushroom world out there 😔
Mycena haematopus parasitized by Spinellus fusiger, another fungal species which gives the mushroom a hairy appearance. It grows as mold on #mushrooms, including several species from the genera Mycena. Yikes, bad hair day 😅

I'm just now realizing that posting about stuff makes bluesky show me that kind of stuff. Two pictures of low poly pixel trees made my feed so bearable suddenly, I should have done this way sooner!

Just so my only existing post isn't the ugly trees I made, here's a slightly nicer one for reference! I love confierous trees, but mixed forests have always been my favorite 🥰

Eventually I'll figure trees out, but not today... I thought I'd rework the first tree I made. It's not quite what I had in mind, but in making a game about exploring forests and nature, I'm at least bound to get plenty more practice! 🌳(❁´◡`❁)🌳
