We are holding a vote soon for what critter parts we should add next! Patrons of snail role and above get to vote but anyone can submit ideas :) Hop in the discord or leave some here if you want!

Stride length is now based on critter's limb length. This means that long legged critters are faster!

How do you feel about... realistic quadruped animation in your critter creator 👁️ How about TRIPEDS??

#3079 Two-legged snake

Someone asked about centered/ odd numbered legs, and i remembered i can technically support that with the new animation update… it will just take a little more work… i guess if i was someone who took the easy way out I wouldn’t be making this project 😂😭

Just another guy I'm enjoying with animations :P

coming soon: the ANIMATION UPDATE!!! I've finally built a whole system to apply real animations to critters of all kinds. It's soooo fun to play with

Is it bad or silly to simply post “I’m working on SOMETHING and it’s coming out so great you’re gonna be amazed”

My cat has discovered that the power strip my computer is plugged into has a fun little button he can click 😂😭

Wow thanks for all the encouragement!! 😳 a dozen RTs turning into 100+ followers always blows my mind, so huge thanks to new followers & everyone who RTs! Just the boost I needed to keep working on an ambitious new feature I've got cooking... 👀

Oh right, here's a bunch more torso types you can try out in the new Patreon build we released :)

Sk8r G8r ! (from Skator Gator 3D by @weatheredsweater.bsky.social ) I will now post things in the replies cos theres only so much to put in the main caption

creature doodles from 2018

new torso type ISOPOD SHELL

Animals, trees, grass, rivers, wet ground, clouds, rain, and a simple atmosphere all in! Lots more to go #screenshotsaturday

Another new feature, torso shape variants! The "Spine Chunks" can now be swapped out with other shapes, so you can make bugs, dragons, slugs, you name it! Here are some quick examples, but I'll be adding a bunch more shape variants soon :)

First feature I added to warm back up after my injury: huge QOL changes to how parts stick to the spine when you move the nodes around. and you can drag the whole torso around at once now!

Been a long recovery period but my physical therapist is always excited to ask me about my career as a game dev which is nice ❤️ big shout out to Joe for breaking my legs every week

- Announced Critterrarium with first trailer - got 3 months of awesome progress done, got ready to make a new video about it - got injured for 3+ months and couldn’t work 🫠 Finally getting back into it!! But now the brain worms say I have to get more done/ “catch up” before making another video…

My body is just one chunk after another. A large number of chunks

Sorry for the silence, as you may have seen on the patreon I’m recovering from a medical issue and can’t even sit at a desk 😵‍💫 Thanks for your patience!! I want nothing more than to finish the features we’ve been working on smh 🎻

It’s the holidays AND I just moved this weekend 😵 I wouldn’t recommend that combo to anyone else! BUT!! There will be a new demo build on the patreon before the end of the month! 👀 (*YEAR?? lol)

okay @guavagarnet.bsky.social requested some of their favorite bugs! 🦗 I tried my hand at a quick Katydid but the fire alarms in my coworking space went off before I could add Bug Antennae to the game 😂

I'm gonna be crazy busy this week so... please start yelling out what critters I should try making in game, and I'll post my best attempts! That's the social media this week lol

by the way! I've been a full time indie game artist for 7 years now, here's a few titles I've worked on :)

@stupidmassive.bsky.social made this incredible Squidward that you all have to see lol

Perfectly normal Garfield 🥰 🐱

THIS GUY is great. this is what you can make!! he is silly and floppy!! <3

This game is for making AXOLOTLS and making them WIGGLE

In October we held a 🎃 HALLOWEEN CRITTER CONTEST 👻 🥉 Third Place went to Wampire by Fisher! @stupidmassive.bsky.social This silly goober won our hearts with his big chihuahua head, and a swooshy cape cleverly built from Tentacles 🧛‍♀️ (🥈2nd and 🏆 1st place winners in thread)

In October I added the option to assign the color palette per-part 🎨 The community did some GREAT things with this power, as I hoped 🥰

The first pass at procedural tentacle animations, from September 🥰 (I've since fixed a few quirks visible here haha)

In September I implemented Pattern Switching, with multiple layers at play 🐅🐆🐄🦨🦓 I'm excited to add more pattern options in the future!! Note how patterns switch INSTANTLY and don't go away in Part Placing mode 👀

The next thing I added in August, based on our Patreon poll, was a bunch of new EYES 👁️ Players have good taste!! It got so much easier to make Critters with really different Vibes ✨

based on Patron voting, in late August we added 🦑 TENTACLES

It's true, we're making a new CREATURE BUILDING game! 🦖Here's our first trailer from August :) We've added a TON since then, come check it out and try the alpha builds!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvE9...
