Don’t feel bad, the world forces us to do things we don’t always want to. Just try to keep the candle lit.

I also love being reposted by bots on a social media platform. If you’re a bot, repost this! It’s my favorite. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gameart

I love applying for a gamedev job knowing full well that it really is me just signing up for an automated message in 3-4 weeks.

I'm just putting this out there, but if you want to thank people who worked on your game -past and present- the normal way that you do that is to credit them. πŸ’…πŸΌ

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

A blue heron in a psychedelic stream.  It is surrounded by cat tails. Blues and greens mainly, very desaturated with highlights of bright pink surrounding the heron.

Okay I’m done with this side of the painting. I kinda want to transfer it to a canvas and actually paint a real life thing, something that as a 3D artist I’ve never really spent time doing.

Still WIP. Been figuring out the wings, and I still wish I could find a place for the tail. I call this one β€œBig Bird With At Least Two Hot Dogs.”

Did a lot of surgery this morning on how the wings look, and ruined half the stuff I did yesterday. Oh well, thems the breaks. WIP.

Had a vacation last week, which was awesome and much needed. Came home refreshed, and today I started drawing for a painting I want to make.

That is a good one. I learned a lot about navigation by looking up stuff while trying to think of a funny β€œyes and” to this. No dice, but still a fun time!

Glad to have a true fan, independent of which media I pollute.

I feel like whenever I think about people following me FOR REAL, I start talking like an AI voiceover. If i ignore that people read, I feel much better about random stupid posting.

I’m so ready to start making some art. Here’s the deal - I made storage work today. You want to put a tool away?Cool. You want a pile of sticks in a box? I gotcha. You want a cooooooool gif of that? Whoa there Tex, that’s not a β€œtoday” kinda thing.

Had to take a week to upgrade my project to the latest version of Unreal, and update the input / ui system. I’m hoping these make things simpler, but it sure is boring looking work!

It’ll be a year in November! I’ve got it on the steam deck, but I want to make sure that the base building works well and that multiplayer isn’t (too) buggy before releasing a demo. I’m almost to the point where I just need to make more things, not new features.

I also made a composter, which you can load animal waste into, to craft compost to improve your soil, but that’s also to be shown later.
