So i hit a new stage in my journey to distract myself from working on camera shy.
The local #gamedev meetup I organize is running our first game jam, so i started working on my entry for that yesterday.
spent a couple hours yesterday and got func_godot and player movement set up

Back to the #gamdev updates!
yesterday was pretty busy! I got a lot more functionality set up in func_godot for level design and I fixed a small bug I found (which they already fixed in an unreleased branch, but still)
Today i've been working on my game's fake email client

Here's a screenshot of the city scene from up high.
It's all smoke (well... fog) and mirrors 😉

Blocked out the street level over the weekend. I'll do a visual pass on it eventually, but I think I got the imposing vibe of the evil corp building (the red one) and the streets itself have the kind of dreary vibe I was going for.

Oh yeah 100%
I have a really hard time visualizing things in my head, so seeing it exist is huge for me.
Sometimes I do plan out the square footage of a room, but I usually place a person in there and see how it feels, scale-wise
Like here the stairs are too shallow and doorway too small.

Got some pretty good progress yesterday. I took this sketch of the "hacker den, " made my first set of 3d tiles in blender, and used the godot gridmap to make the space. I added a bit of clutter and lighting to liven it up, but it's good!
Next up is the street

So I’m flipping through “101 things I learned in architecture school” while I wait for this meeting and I came across this page.
It’s the exact opposite advice that I’ve received over my entire career as a web developer.
That probably means this is actually very good advice.

I also started making the 3d model for the main character of camera shy. Not sure if I want to have PNG cutouts or low poly 3d models during dialogue scenes and whatnot, so making a rough mesh of her for now and juts stretching the intial design over it.

I just talked with the folks at @gang-fight.com and saw the first draft of the character design!
They said I could share this one early.
From the left, that’s Exodus, Red (the character you play as,) and Dotcom.
Really getting hyped to see them colored in.

Still working on my #GodotWildJam game. Got rotations working and repeat working.
Now it's just adding shapes and making little critters. I think I'm going to make 3 little pointy head things today.
Anyway, here's another video, but with the repeating effect

Alright, back to the real world.
I'm going to do #godotwildjam this week both since it'll distract me a bit from camera shy, but also I think it'll be good for me to totally finish something small, but still in godot.
Going to be making a game with ray marched critters like this guy

In other news. I fired up my game for the first time in a week, since I've been focused on non programming stuff and with fresh eyes, I really kind of dig the vibes.
It's too bright maybe and the scale isn't perfect, but i like it all furnished and with lights.

Today i'm trying to make some of the main cast in VRoid studio.
It's not really the art style I want to end on, but at least I can start to visualize the key parts of the characters.
This isn't one of the characters, but it was fun playing around and making it.
