On a whim I added an alternate path while blocking out level 2. I did not expect it to look this cool.

It's a duplicate mesh with inverted normals and distance math to keep it the same width regardless of how far away it is.

I kind of went into focus mode and lost track of time. But also, all of the programming for the level 2 mechanics are finished. Soon it will be back to environment and character modeling.

I've shown this effect before, but there's something else that's cool about it. There's nothing stopping me from placing these fake windows in front of walls. This is how the doors to other maps work. I didn't model any openings.

My game has unlockable mini-games in the form of arcade cabinets. These are all older titles I worked on solo. EchoWave was made for a game jam in 2017. I only started using Godot a few years ago, so all of these are ports.

LunarLux: Eternity just got announced and I realized that my old fan art was on longer online. So here it is again.

When learning to make skyboxes I discovered that I could export a single cloud. I use those cloud textures to make it look like the game's environment is on top of them. It really helps sell the floating city setting.

The place can change but the face remains.

Volumetrics are a bit too intensive. I avoid things that take a lot of processing power. The light/color difference can cause it to fall apart. I've tried leaving them unshaded so they'd match the skybox. That didn't give the right result. I haven't tried fading them. That could work.

It probably goes without saying, but the faces on my characters can be swapped independently from the skeletal animations. Also, every expression has lipflaps and blink frames to go with them. So I can make them talk at any time and they’ll randomly blink during cutscenes.

Am I glad he's frozen in there
and that we're out here
and that he's the sheriff
and that we're frozen out here
and that we're in there
and-

I *JUST* remembered: We're out here.
What I want to know is where's the caveman?

Programming is like this sometimes.

A screenshot of a 3D level in Godot. In it, we can see buildings with large overhangs, rails, a small house, and a large wall. In front of the wall is a ramp that has some kind of machine inside. Large gears can be seen turning behind some bars. A floating land mass can also be seen off to the left.

A screenshot of an in-game menu. The menu header reads "Stages". There is 1 entry in the list titled "Gear-head heist". A thumbnail of the stage can be seen on the right side of the ui with the text "no rank data" below it. This thumbnail is the screenshot mentioned earlier in this post.

All of the areas in the stages menu have a thumbnail next to them. Only 1 stage is complete enough to have an entry, but here’s what it looks like.

The gate is blocked. Looks like I need to find another way in.

That textbox isn't actually a ui element. It's a model. It's designed to match the UI. That way it can exist in 3D space behind the character models.

Thanks! It's a work in progress. Sometimes it does what you want. I think I need to make sure that the NPCs rotate to face the camera before zooming in. I've noticed that the center > push thing tends to happen when those things are happening at the same time.

Thanks! It'll get one eventually, but when I announced it, I discovered that 1. I couldn't use the title I had in mind, and 2. Unity was changing their license agreement. So I had a lot I needed to change. I want to make sure that everything is set in stone before making a steam page.

Mr.Hertz from MegaMan Starforce!

Don't mind me. Just uploading some old fan art.
....What year is it again?

I think there's something cool about the different series being ambiguous with their connections. It always keeps you wondering while at the same time giving the devs more freedom to tell stories.

Regardless, Who can say what truely motivates the writers?
