Doing more tests to see if the rig is working. First try at the walk cycle will be doing more fixes too since there are more adjustments I wanted to do.

a giant blue flower with a dark green stem. The flower head is sphere shaped with small petals only slightly protruding. A big flower head is at the top and tiny ones are sprouting along the stem. The flower has long sparsely places leafs. In front of the flower is a small star shaped mushroom and there's a white vine coming from the bottom of the plant, making it's way all around the plant until it stops right at the big top flower head.

Relatively classic mushroom with a flat round head that's light yellow with darker yellow specks placed throughout. The bottom is a bit pear shaped, also light yellow but with darker brown grooves. There are three of these mushrooms: Just the top part, a smaller but straight mushroom and one that's biggest and slightly bent so you can place it at the side of a tree.

one flat round mushroom that grows on trees and another one that's made up of three spheres but fused. The underside is light green while the top is bright red with darker red holes throughout. Looks slightly like a pomegranate

two light teal colored mushrooms that look like cushions or poufs. One has a stem that's a purple color and looks a bit like the bottom part of a spring onion.

It's been so long since I wanted to reveal the mushrooms but here they are (+ a bonus flower).
They're platforms to jump onto so they're relatively big. Can't wait to show them in the actual environment but it's gonna be a while until the reveal๐Ÿ˜ญ

Question for my Godot game devs โ‰๏ธ

What are your must have plugins / assets? The ones you tend to add to your projects always.

Iโ€™m still new to Godot land and looking for a few recommendations. At the moment the dialogue manager 3 is one of mine ๐Ÿ˜…

Liminal Caves - Concept Art

Deep beneath the new roots of modern civilisation lie the remnants of the past. Filled with long-lost, eons-old powers. Whispers of what once was, harbingers of what might come.

I'll rename Shards. Shard turned out to be a confusing word for what it is. Most people assume different things when they hear Shard, all of them are differing from my concept. I don't really think there is a word for what they are, so I'll just create one.
Feedback appreciated!
