❤️ Something new along HotDS lines recently became more likely, but *probably* not next.

These are the earliest screenshots I have, one of which is just called ai.png, and I'm assuming it's when I got my first ever steering behaviors working.

The other is a simple camera/controls test. 3rd person!

It's pretty short especially if you play all the missions on easy and don't do any bonus stuff (higher difficulties, secret endings, etc).

But it's going on sale here in like 30min at a pretty steep discount.

This weekend I *will* finish Between Two Fires.

A medieval French apocalypse adventure wasn't on my list before, but came as a solid rec from a friend.

Close up of an oil painting, focused a wolf

A woman dressed in a red robe, holds her chest. Behind her a wolf eats an indescribable piece of bloodied meat. The wolf’s muzzle is as bloodied as the woman’s hand.

As promised, a recent painting!

"Friendslop" was ha ha funny for a day or two but the more I hear the word, I hate it because it belies the incredible amount of work and skill and strong design of the successful ones.

Looking good! Keep going!

Steam Next Fest is over today. Managed to play a couple interesting demos: Cairn, Half Sword, YapYap, Road to Vostok, and MISERY are all on my radar now. Give them a shot while you can!

Rewatched Outland with Sean Connery - if ever there was a Weyland Yutani offshoot with the Alien, this could be it.

'The Queen is dead: PREPARE FOR SKIRMISH COMBAT!' is also almost exactly the full set-up of House of the Dying Sun.

I'm mildly obsessed with how well clicker/idle games can weave a narrative.

Also see: Space Plan, A Dark Room, Universal Paperclips

lmao Unfair Flips earns so much drama as the UI gets out of the way and centers the coin in preparation for your 10th flip. I laugh every time it happens.

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.

Again with the ruins and roots

Bringing these knights back by popular demand. I will be doing another series of them but more ornate and detailed. This is the first out of 5 and once all 5 are complete I will offer them to people to buy and go to good homes :)
