I couldn't handle the indecisive Canadian spring for #screenshotsaturday I made myself my own pool day!

In my rework of AF's player controller, I finally got around to adding swimming... and all the audio/visual hell that came along with water πŸ™ƒ

#ScreenshotSaturday time!

One thing led to another and now I've refactored all my previous first person animation into lean, code driven procedural animation (all the leaning, bobbing, etc)

You don't want to see how it worked before 🫣

Since I'm lazy, I'll steal his post!

In classic #SkyPyre fashion we got excited about one of our game jam ideas and are trying to push it over the line!

#mushroam is a 2D #puzzle #platformer where you use bubbles to launch yourself across dangerous levels in the underground!

A few of the key rooms from my art test level featured in devlog 4.

I was actually inspired to do an art test based on the Halo UE5 demo they showed, where they had their artists set out to make distinct areas, to establish the art style.

Finally tried making concept art with a background - its simple, but this image has been kicking around for months!
