Back at teaching. Time is suuuper short, but I'll try and keep some things in the works. Free time is just not a thing #teachers really get in this world anymore.

Yet again a new city, but I think this one might be here to stay.

Testing out some field designs. As always, I have too many ideas and cant decide.

Really having fun with these! The pixel effect reminds me of some of @franekk.bsky.social's pixel art.

The realistic lighting makes the islands pop and gives more depth, but def clutters the view. I can try and see about a good blend between them, but I cant lie I'm leaning back towards the stylized.

LEFT is stylized
RIGHT is realistic

Oh shoot I do have them flipped.

This is also the problem with chronic overthinking...hooray ._.

I think my biggest issue with B is that it takes away the styling of the game II had planned. I really likes the simple flat shaded style. I got mostly B's, but my gut is telling me A with some tweaks...

Redshifting is doable, but I worry about the slippery slope of realism. The more you give, the more people expect and since the idea was largely stylized, riding the line makes things feel...unintentional and unpolished.

Oh I see what you mean. I've been having trouble with the blending because of the nature of the shader.

Melting effect?

I really enjoy B on the larger planets, but the shadows can be so long and I think they're distracting. The high key lighting makes the world feel more realistic and seems to contrast with my stylized models.

Tough call.

Reuploaded with bigger planets for comparison.
