on the topic, no himari for a little bit :( I'm sick, Thanksgiving break, final exams, winter break plus a short vacation, and new years will have me tied up. Maybe I'll post something sometime between. Sorry

Everytime i see the comments of a "Rollin' Rascal" ad it urges me to remove rolling from Himari entirely. I don't want to release my work if it's not gonna be taken seriously or if it'll be treated like a rip off of sonic. And if I was a RR dev, I'd feel pretty fucking unappreciated rn.

Alotta water in the tutorial.

We gotta realize maybe the model ain't that bad but the framing is awful. Stop putting the camera in his face, increase the focal length and back up.

Proud of this bit of level design. It's early on, simple, but shows how I'm gonna approach the rest of the game's stage design. #gamedev #Godot

I have a hard time justifying the implementation of "abilities" in Himari since the base game mechanic (the physics) is so versatile and complicated on its own. Makes me have to think harder about what abilities could actually be useful in support of the busted mechanic of moving.

I've been crunching numbers on some file sizes, and I'm afraid of how much space Himari might take up. I think it might get up to around 10 GB but likely below that. #gamedev

HELL YEAH!!! #GodotEngine #gamedev

I just got an idea

Got a whiteboard! Life-changer. #gamedev

Yeah just feels a bit redundant. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev #Sonic

I'm really excited to release the playtest demo cause I just added a skidding mechanic inspired entirely by this clip but it might not be useful or worth keeping.

Damn #Godot

Fell off my board on the way to class and got a game idea.

My placeholder model for all new objects is Maxwell btw. #Godot #gamedev

Old clip. Holy throwback. #gamedev #Godot

Finally unlocked the method for organic level modeling. #gamedev #blender

I'd like to officially announce Himari's player script reached 1,676 lines long today. #GodotEngine #gamedev

Made a new camera that only rotates with you if the terrain is steep. Should help with motion sickness :) #Sonic #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

A "just make it exist first"? in the "you can make it look good later" factory!?

I'm back, More himari soon

Sorry for no dev updates. In Greece all week. Can confirm that Unleashed got Mykonos down perfectly in aesthetics and culture. Felt ethereal walking through Windmill Isle for real.

I don’t want enemies in Himari to just be boring obstacles. Here’s one of my rough sketches messing with ways to make them more fun to deal with. The robot is Beepus. He will NOT be in the game. | #gamedev #indiedev

Little clip comp. Made rolling feel, sound, and look more satisfying. Crunching in a bunch of details to make it more immersive I guess? #Sonic #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Knocked out this "Wine Press Spring Thing" today. Was able to reuse some textures/particles but the model took around 2 hours. | #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Breaking the week of radio silence... Been busting ass on Himari. Already started on a full-fledge level. Here's one page of #conceptart: #gamedev #indiedev

Damn it now I can't unsee it.

I don even know how this happened | #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Been mostly gearing up for exams; but had time to throw together a decent foliage shader with transmission, subsurface scattering, and wind rotation. | #godot #gamedev #indiedev
