Where were you when you stopped building tools and actually switched over to making your game. Yup.

Why Good Design Looks Like a Mistake?

I get a lot of question about balancing and I want to say something that might be controversial.... don't balance your game!!!

#godot shader for deck builder? Yes, please.
I've been working on a template/package to include in my next deck builder "toolbox" video. HEAVILY inspired by #balatro.
It looks so pretty and satisfying that I wanted to share!

A very dramatic shaded illustration of a feminine figure with horns, looking down on her as she's touching her lip with the tip of her middlefinger

Something a bit different, I'm just kinda experimenting how well dramatic shading works with my more cartoon-y shading. Also, yes, I like rendering hair, why do you ask?

Fan art of the character The Curator from the game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a very dimly lit scene, making the hollowed face blend seamlessly into the darkness of the rest of the scene. There's a tattered halo around it and some rose petals

So yeeeeah, I'm obsessed with the designs in Clair Obscur, and I'm in particular very *normal* about The Curator. πŸ€­πŸ’–

I'm still far from done with the game, so no spoilers, but I wanted to show my appreciation anyway!~

Yes!!!! Atmosphere retracts light and make things go closer to the "atmosphere" color brighter/bluer/desaturated! A good tip!

An illustration of a ruined flat apartment. A person is standing in front of the ruins, visibly in disbelief. The sky is an ominous red, with 2 cloud circles and a "bleeding" sphere in the middle. In the foreground, there is a creature based on a ferret, with panda-like colours and a flesh-eating plant kinda face looking towards the person.

"And within a short notice ... home no more. And only ruins are left to remind you of what once was there.
They say I should be happy I could get away from there fast enough, but it feels like a part of me is swallowed by the event, never to be found again."
