Old games just tried stuff, man. We act like game design's got these tested solidified formulas, then some random 80s game slaps you in the face to remind you that there's so much still left to explore.

Art upgrade in progress! I spent the last few days adding a ton of visual variety to the ground. You're looking at three new tilesets with four variants each. All randomized to stop that "copied-and-pasted" feeling. Huge step for the overall vibe.

Holy moly. For as much as I've been putting off artwork, it starting to feel really cool now that I'm doing it.

Do it anyways! You can (surprisingly) do quite well even with programmer art. A touch of color theory and a little post processing. Worked for games like Thomas Was Alone. You got this!

(My previous jam entry with programmer art.)

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday I want to show the dynamic environment that I've been working on lately for the rooms that contain laser puzzles.

#Godot 's global shader parameters came in handy to manage the tiles palette.

My very first game ever was laser based. And Iโ€™ve been considering remaking it with what I know now.

This is beautiful and is inspiring me to actually pick that back up in the future. Nice work!

Not an option I had mentioned! But yes, I absolutely agree. If you're training on your own artwork? Big brain move.
