My teammate has some really awesome character art so far! I'd love to share it but I don't want it to seem like I'm taking credit 😅 Guess you'll just have to see when we publish the game :)

I'm still working on nailing down the art style, this is some of my progress so far (adding style over blockouts). We want a soft hand-painted/watercolor feel with lots of texture. I'm liking this brush for the outlines, it gives more of a 'fantasy sketch' feeling to me. Still workshopping :)

Here's a thread for some art and design I'm working on for #Jamsepticeye! It's a new game jam run by #Jacksepticeye and a developer that goes by the name Ducky Dev. We're making an artsy story game inspired by Halloween, Celtic mythology, and some Irish animated movies by #CartoonSaloon :)

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society, and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

The concept art I showed relates more to the second idea, but with a darker art style.

This is a different prototype of the visuals that I just made. More like Celtic fantasy, maybe even a bit Ghibli-inspired. The incremental actions (I don't have a better term for it yet) would be cast like incantations on a stone altar. You could bind a spirit to the incantation to make it repeat.

This is some basic prototyping and shader animation for interaction (my initial idea, which would take a bit of inspiration from the visuals in Cult of the Lamb). If anyone wants to know more about these shaders, let me know! They were fun to make and the code is pretty simple.

I haven't had much time to work on Close to Twilight, but here's some concept art/prototyping for a fantasy incremental game I'm working on with a friend. I'm not really big into the genre but I think this one is a cool take. Plus I'm mostly doing art and creative direction, which is what I enjoy ^^

La Mare De La Lune is usually a warm, cozy ship. That said, it has its secrets - like this tucked away corner below decks where you may feel chills. That's where you'll find the haunted piano. Don't be alarmed, the songs may play by themselves but I find them soothing :) #gamemusic #closetotwilight

Adding #closetotwilight for my own sense of organization :)

Thanks! 🌙

I wish I could have been there. Hauntii deserves awards and so do all of you 💙

Cool stuff!

I thought I'd post some concept material for an indie game I'm working on with the working title 'Close to Twilight'. The game centers around a magical ship called La Mare De La Lune, which sails on a journey through the stars. More updates to come on this and other projects :)

Welcome aboard La Mare De La Lune! Named in homage to Earth's beautiful moon, this majestic vessel sails through the vastness of space rather than ocean. Though the Stallion of the Stars cannot be tied down to any planet, you may find her anchored near a cozy trading post-as long as they stock milk.

The interaction sound is a bit jarring. It looks awesome, though :) Is it a tech demo or for a game?
