additional context here that's maybe interesting I've made a few combat prototypes before but never been totally satisfied with them. This concept sits on top of those, is meant to really get at the thing I want first real prototype was in Dark Thicket (more in thread)

was struggling to wrap my mind around attack states, and had so many competing ideas. So drew up a plan for myself, derived from what I want things to feel like

from 1982, before I was born. Why I like reading old things. He's not talking about AI, or NFTs, or whatever. He's talking about a continual cycle of anxious misdirection. Don't be distracted Rainer Maria Rilke, Appendix to the Sonnets of Orpheus

a lot to improve here but fun to have come together

sort of new to actually using discord, and the thing I like best about it is typing "disco" whenever I want to open it

accidental keyframe art

seems familiar

ok much more vibing with this

not quite the look I'm going for I think. I want more brutal and sparse and unique / specific. But looks nice

I forgot to mention another way that I am a lunatic

woah video dark, more like this

ok, so I basically have these two rooms blocked out to a point where I want to start drawing, really think about platforming paths / patterns through them set dressing was a bit of a digression but I was into it and I like where I landed, so 🤷‍♂️

ok much more vibing with this

people being all like, legit thoughtful about the work I'm doing, I really appreciate it

so this color scheme is the result of me accidentally loading the wrong camera profile and I was like WHAAT and then immediately was like oooh hang on, some things here make sense narrative wise, I need to keep this happy accident

I think about this often, and recently

Since I've decided to share my process thoroughly and candidly I have to talk about emotions now. Looking my emotions in the face and responding to them usually helps bring me back to a place where I can create more freely.

environment plan for the next prototype. Thinking through a more cohesive and meaningful series of moments. Starts bottom left, ends toward the top

now for the really essential part—this face. A little intimidated, we'll see how modeling goes. Need to figure out my approach

updates

now we're talkin

ok, sleepy time. Lots left to do, but, I'm liking it halfway tempted to just upload a build to itch in the next couple days and let folks run around? dunno. don't like when things just sit on my hard drive

ok I'm tired but kids are in bed and playing video games sound boring so let's do this

i like this conceptually but not in practice

need to do some work to bring the player character up to speed, but expecting the model I made last year is a decent basis to work from

first city area

coming together
