good god my heart

I worked on some new rain effects.
Everything covered by a roof stays looking dry 😊

I kind of always viewed SH games from the pov that they sort of should have exhausting combat that you get sick of eventually, which could help the horror of it. Like by the end you feel as done as the main character

Fine line to walk though with it being a video game people gotta play and enjoy

Hey hey I can finally share what I've been up to which was creating concepts and models for the Dinos & Dynasties Parkitect DLC! 💖 Had a blast working on these, we hope you all enjoy! :D

(tried making a quick shrine to display my Minotaur son 😆)
(ps: Parkitect is on sale, 60% off!! 👀)

Surprise, we just released a new deco-focused DLC for Parkitect!
Dinos & Dynasties adds two new themes (Dinos and Ancient World) and three new attractions.
There's also a free update that adds a cheat menu for sandbox mode.

Get Dinos & Dynasties here: store.steampowered.com/app/3919200/...

Oh wow I did not even realize Full Indie was on Saturday, been so crazy busy

New devlog!
I wrote about the challenges we encountered with pathfinding and character movement in Croakwood and how we solved them: www.texelraptor.com/blog/croakwo...

Both games have enamored me in such a way. Going from something super serious to something super absurd moment to moment and just shaking my head going "my god he's done it again"

I wrote a devlog post about rendering in Croakwood: www.texelraptor.com/blog/croakwo...

The series for Tales From the Loop was quite good, and hit the introspective and surreal tone of the book well I found. But Electric State was a super odd series of choices and... man

I turn it on for some games and then promptly turn it off when I'm done cus yeah it ain't great

Just released a new post on the Croakwood devlog about how the houses work from a gameplay and technical perspective:

Made the grass react to the frogs 🐸

We recently worked on peeking into houses a lot, making sure it's working smoothly and adding some animations for polish 🏡

Surprise! We released a free update for Parkitects 6th anniversary today that adds a new custom campaign editor.
Can't wait to see what it'll be used for :)

I collected a bunch of Vancouver folk into a starter pack. Some I know. Some I don't. BUT they are all creative and cool!

A lot of game dev overlap, but not all folks are devs.

If you're a creative in Vancouver, post a comment or a DM and I'll add you (I might be slow).

I wrote a new devlog entry about the water in Croakwood and how the shoreline effect works:
