I've been listening to an audiobook about airships (zeppelins, dirigibles, or blimps, depending on locale), and how they NEVER really worked, but governments had invested so much in them that they were determined to MAKE them work, wasting fortunes & years & lives
This post is not about airships
Look at that even texel density!
Hey check out this cool puzzle game a friend of mine is working on! They've got a great team, are great people, and I love that they're drawing from local, South American traditions! messy-bytes.itch.io/qhipan/devlo...
I'm really enjoying legend of khiimori so far! There are a LOT of similarities w the game I'm making, but a lot of difference in doc and execution. I'm excited watch as khiimori moves through early access
Iroshizuku is such good ink. That and a de atramentis document grey are my go-tos
In my brain dat booty is SO wiggly
I just switched from developing in Unity to using Unreal, so I know the feeling!
Also want to highlight the Pixel8r plugin. 10/10 worth the price. I only just started using it and I'm loving this thing. actiondawg.itch.io/pixel8r2
Finally found a texture workflow that I like! I want a pixel art look, but I'm bad at it and hate doing it, so it's not a matter of 'just practice'. I made this using Substance Painter along with a filter called Pixel8r and I LOVE this.

I love it, but it's definitely a nostalgia thing for me. I'd rate MM and TP higher.
Slippy: Do an Aileron Roll!

Sometimes when you're crashing out about how in the world to start designing flight race tracks you just need a level designer friend to smack you upside the head and tell you to make your gryphon fly through hoops. <3 love you Clover.
Aww thank you so much! I'm hoping to start texture testing soon :D
I estimated a month to port my project into Unreal from Unity. I completed it in 11 days! aka, the shelf life of a kobold.

Oh no that's great! Let's me get creative with the matting. I bought a handful of prints from someone else and did a neat abstract thing on the mat to match the art inside 😄
Are you planning on offering a print of this? I've been collecting small prints of art from my favorite games with an eye to do an elaborate Victorian style portrait wall. I love everything about this, the colors, the details, even the field in the moon!
I had so much hope for Bloodborne 😭
Not to mention everyone's livelihoods in an already brutal market. Take care of yourselves, everyone. <3
LIFTOFF!
This represents two solid weeks of work re-making what I already had in Unity inside Unreal. I have custom ground and flight movement systems featuring tank controls and auto-follow camera with anticipation pan. I'm SO happy!

oh god, oh geez, oh heck. Nope NOPE I am NOT making a motion sickness simulator.

Oh no. I've already written a bunch of blueprints like this. I've just realized this is all a bunch of if/then statements and in Unity, I'd favor using a switch statement so I don't have to run through all the options and.. and... oh NO do I already need to refactor my blueprints?!?
Yeah, it drives me crazy! I have a pixel fold and the act of opening my phone refreshes it. Which is MADDENING because I only do that when I want a big size better look at something!
Can't be any worse than when I swapped out the bathroom faucets because my water bottle wouldn't fit under them and doing so has kept me WAY more hydrated!
Have you considered employment at a yarn shop? haha
Believe it or not, this is great progress! Got a weird mathematical hitch when pitch input tries to move from positive to negative or visa'versa, but that's just one more thing to work on :)

The gryphon is in Unreal! (also I finished the pace animation, run is still just keyframes)

My goal is to recreate what I already had in unity within unreal in a month. I thought it would be doable but challenging. After spending today working on it, I think a month might be more than enough time? Famous last words.
An open cardboard box containing a single roll of wallpaper and a container of glue.
I know I only bought one roll, but this nearly $300 box feels like it should be both larger and much more heavy 😬
It's like a deep clean, you gotta make a mess before you can put everything back together again
I'm rebuilding what I have so far of Gryphon Game in unreal engine. It remains to be seen if I'm making a mistake, but I'll never learn new things if I don't try.
I had to add an extra control to limit the rotation of the head as I was animating because I REALLY wanted the option to do the steady-head bird thing
