Absolutely. If I get hit, 99% of the time it's really just because I was being greedy or impatient

The three 'Congratulations!' pictures you can get after completing Crow Country on hard mode (B, A and S rank)
I had fun posing the characters to make these.

Captain Toad

I’m a big fan of Alundra 2. Pitch perfect ‘slightly-clunky-but-very-charming’ PS1 game

Adam Vian @sfbdim.bsky.social · 4d

I love these, great work! I'm a big fan of these little diorama interiors. (if you ever want to do any more, my fave ones are the haunted hotel lobby and shop)

I didn't try it until I needed to use it to get shredded organs for the Broodfeast quest. Now I realise that quest is probably there to encourage you to try different tools. Well played team cherry

Adam Vian @sfbdim.bsky.social · 4d

it's just really really good at quickly killing things from above - without spending the usual time and space pogoing on them. It's also good for traversal down a long vertical - it's fast, but Hornet will safely bounce off any spikes you land on, so you can just use it wherever

Fire tree boss, I’m guessing

since you're here - some more screenshots from the development, mostly modelling (making a bunch of bespoke objects for each room was probably my favourite part of the whole process)

development screenshots of these earlier variants:

Top right: early design for the Arms enemy, when it just flailed randomly and rolled around with physics. It looked great but caused me no end of problems. And bottom right: early Grinner, back when they had arms - which I eventually removed to differentiate them from the other Guests.

Original set of enemy file photos for the projector slides in Edward Crow's office. I had to remake these a few times as the enemy designs changed.

Thank you! hopefully we’ll post something soon

Adam Vian @sfbdim.bsky.social · 7d

It really makes me feel like I’m missing something, like there’s a secret pickaxe needle or something

Adam Vian @sfbdim.bsky.social · 7d

I’m really enjoying Silksong but I’m confused by the shard economy. Basically, I never have any shards. Sometimes I’ll find a secret hoard of shards only to be utterly baffled by how few are actually in there

The most significant upgrade I’ve noticed is the tool strength, seemed to really help

a little secret about this room - the box of ammo in the drawer gives you 7 bullets, instead of the usual 8

Adam Vian @sfbdim.bsky.social · 8d

No, I gave the ammo box prefab a logic switch that provides 7 bullets instead of 8, it defaults to off, and I turned it on just for that one instance
