CW: annoying sounds, some repeated content from last post
Cutscenes can now move the player & hide/show the textbox throughout a scene. These & other actions are unstable & finicky to execute without glitches.

I finished up the diagonal-left and diagonal-right sprites up tonight, too. :)
I'm relieved with how smoothly this went. :D

10k reposts and I'll stop using Nomad Sculpt for working on the 3D stuff for Crystology, and use my O2 with Maya 4 instead.

I'm still proud of this :P

To this day, I'm still getting spam calls for small business loans after I started an LLC for my game stuff. It's so annoying and different folks call me on near daily basis, with the same quip about being able to be removed from a list.
I'm almost tempted to answer and tell them I'm not interested
I really appreciate the love this has gotten, and more folks checking on my work.
It's been a rough week, and I've been needing something to cheer me up <:P
I missed #PortfolioDay 😅
I used to just do pixel art, but now I'm doing that, plus pre-rendered backgrounds for my next game.

Portrait study, colors were challenging but fun

Moonshell Island's protagonist Sam (a young purple haired girl) talking to Douglas (a large beaver guy) in a verdant lakeside area near his carpentry shack. Douglas: Sounds like you've got something radical in mind... Lay it on me, bud! Sam: I'm rebuilding this game from scratch!

Hey hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Sam, the #pixelart specialist and #gamedev behind my #rpg known as #Moonshell_Island! I'm pretty busy rebuilding the project as I learn programming in #gamemaker, but may be open to pixel art work in the future.

I'm still very glad I finally picked one up for that reason, though.
I finished doing some last-minute tweaks and got Maron's orphanage in the game. :)
#gamedev #indierpg #prerenderedbackgrounds
I did a little walkthrough again :P

Here's what Maron's room is looking like in-game vs full-res:

Modeling some more stuff :P

Even on #Moonshell_Island, it takes organization to track those goals and achievements when there's no end to the chaos. Fear not, dreamers - our Journal System's got ya covered! Happy New Year!

I did some modeling and messed around with the game this evening after settling in.

This new attack is… shocking!

At the last minute, I was able to get the last two weeks off again (I was planning on taking them earlier, but had to cancel), but I’m going to be “on call”.
I’m excited to be able to work on my game for a couple of weeks :)
