Ahhh thank you!! I just love her facial features so much, I based her off one of my best friends and I've been hiding this character from her for so long as a surprise lol

Finally have something to show off for #screenshotsaturday!

Working on a new character's sprites! She's actually the first person I designed for this game, and it's so wonderful to start to see her come to life!

Also some new UI layouts, still tinkering with designs.

I would love to do this, and start labeling things progressively weirder the harder to find they were.

At first, you'd just see the "Sugar" and "Flour", but eventually you'd get to something like "goblin toes" (olives) and do a double take

You could say I've been spending a bit of time on UI assets....

This is only one of my files, I have 2-3 others for different sized assets used as needed

Thought my coffee mug was fitting for working on some mountains today!

I'm finally home after a month away house-sitting! Very happy to be back to my space, gonna take a couple days of R&R before fully getting back into the swing of things for the game!

I am finally getting home after most of a month away and genuinely one of the things I'm most excited for is to play more of this game when I'm back ❤️❤️

I know I could get brushes to do this faster, but I just LOVE the feeling and look of doing these forests by hand 😅

Working on an interactive fantasy map! Thought it would show off locations and give background world lore better than exposition dialogue.

So I'm house sitting, and brought my laptop and stuff to work when I had time, right?

Turns out one of the cats I'm watching here as well REALLY likes to sit exactly on the laptop when in use. Fully ignores it otherwise.

We'll see what I get done this week 🤣

Sketch vs Final!

Finally getting around to making the full screen illustrations of the intro scenes for the game, I wanted them to feel loose and like you're peaking into a memory.

Appreciating the intentional slow pace of line art, or going insane drawing dozens of tiny bells in a background piece? Up to interpretation at this point!

I'll be taking a long weekend to host a dear friend, be safe stay warm peeps ☺️

Spent the morning with a coffee, my little fireplace going, updating my design document with the world building and lore stuff I added in as I went through development, and that was such a peaceful start to my morning I couldn't ask for better 😭

Wrote 2,000 words yesterday and I'm already at the old word count of my draft I had to delete most of, but I've just gotten to the point where that word count is REALLY gonna explode.

Time to have a relaxing weekend before all that!

It's very fun! I used to do some with a buddy who was in Hema and it's an incredible workout as well as being entertaining lol.

Hema I guess is less of a type of gym and more of a martial art class, but very few gyms will offer it.

It's sword fighting! Mostly specialized in western European style, (long swords and the like) so different to Kendo or Fencing

14.01.2026 05:59 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Exactly! On one hand, it'll be a bit more crowded lol, but on the other it's of a lot of people in the same boat you are so it works out!

I've also been debating an in person gym, there's a Hema gym and a bouldering gym and both look very fun

Once you get there it'll be so much fun! And you're not alone, so many people are nervously getting into gym hobbies to better themselves so you'll be in great company!

As long as you do!

Technically I do have days off I try to stick to lol, tho sometimes my bf has to trick me into actually taking the days off 🤣

I have this feeling all the time! Especially if I have a good day and creative things flow and I have to stop it to go to my day job. I just want to be creative! Work on projects with whimsy and take time!

But no I gotta optimize everything to go do other stuff

Thank you! Honestly beyond my poor poor eyes, it's mostly exciting for me to see this project become an actual thing with every line I add, so it's very motivating!
