I keep considering the Dressmaker game.. I sew my own clothing in real life, and I play and create games, so it seems like a perfect fit.. Not sure why I hesitate. Fun watching non-sewing folk discover the joy of creative fashion expression tho.

Spiralichen...

Couple glimpses of my little Aion 2 cleric..

Got run over by RL, haven't had the time or heart to look at anything art or game related in a while. I could rant about my troubles, but the world has plenty of that. Hopefully Ill be back to sculpting and coding soon.

Progress peek on my polearm... all of the geometry is original and done myself in Blender, the textures are vanilla DayZ materials (as this will be a mod) Will start on the metal/pipe version next, then we'll see about getting all these proxy slots and hidden selections to work properly #b3d #dayz

Taking a dev break to learn DayZ modding, haven't done much this past week beyond reading+videos. Might touch blender today. Decided on my first project tho- Im going to rework the spears into a proper polearm system that any game blade attaches to.

I could keep messing with these wheels forever (they're built entirely via geometry nodes) - but at some point I have to call it Good Enough For Now and move on to the next headache.

Beginning to set up my own little DayZ server.. husband is already despairing my choices. No zombies, no guns, no cars.. will add horses, leatherworking, few other good PvE mods, then start adding new assets and craft recipes.

Working on player detailing today.. the dish spins around. Next up will be proper wheels, solar panels, then the robotic arms. Nothing motivates me more to work on art side than the pressing need to be buried in code. Procrastination but still progress. #gameart #indiedev #b3d #upbge

Nice conditions in the last few days on the blooming heather fields in the Netherlands.

Seamlessly loops every 10 seconds. But follow any dot and you will be watching for over an hour before it returns to its starting position.

Current progress peek on my personal game project Coeus. I like a fun sci-fi sky, black space is boring. #gamedev #indiedev #b3d #upbge #python

Lately every day I hop onto #upbge and take a stab at making a star background I'm actually happy with.. It's been many days of not saving any progress, but I think we're getting closer. Sometimes it's the most simple tasks that turn into indecisive slogs, a million flavors of not-quite-right.

Part of my silence has been the Texas age verification nonsense.. whilst I am certainly old enough, I won't be giving my id away to a 3rd party just to talk to ya'll, sorry. Right now Texans can access our accounts again without age checks, but that could return.. At which point I'm only on Discord.

Thanks to all your support on Patreon, we've just hit 3700 patrons and unlocked the Wood vault! That's 55 new #cc0 wood textures, free for everyone, made for #b3d. Download: polyhaven.com/textures/wood Next up: 70 South African beach HDRIs. polyhaven.com/vaults/beach

This was a test from when I was developing my gas giant stuff a few months back. In order to create larger storms, I needed the ability to warp the coordinate space around an arbitrary point. #Blender #TechArt #Shader

Inferior social media reminded me today that 5 years ago I was at my peak in asset creation. I began 3D art life in Dreams, on Playstation, and was one of the most prolific asset artists in the community.. used to make a new object or scene pretty much every day. Gods I miss being productive.

I haven't been posting recently, but still chipping at my game in UPBGE. Added the first (fully procedural geometry node) plant today. Still playing with all of the art side of things, but making progress on spawn logic and randomization. #gamedev #indiedev #b3d

It’s really useful, especially when there’s few other things to provide a solid sense of scale. Mine is this shady and flat guy bsky.app/profile/rune...

200 Follower milestone! Thank you all, hope everyone is finding shade and comfort today

It wasn't long before I realized *exactly* where I can leverage this new-found knowledge. Fired up a quick test in Desmos, and holy shit. 😤☁️ #gamedev #indiedev

Daaaaaamn, this is cool. Knowledge incorporated. Thank you. 🫡 This will definitely come in useful in many ways, huehuehue. #gamedev #indiedev

You can create bridges in Cozy Country. I like to place them where there's a nice view. This is a game from my heart, where you can just sit back, create, and relax❤️ Coming to Android, iOS, Mac and PC Wishlist Cozy Country on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4690240/...

Also still spending a great many hours enjoying #Enshrouded I wish I had some friends to co-op with, as always, but it's very fun as a solo game too. Base building features are very nice, its like Valheim-x-Minecraft with the voxel capabilities.. Working on my first proper home now

Reworking the movement+camera system for my game.. going from a fixed-north arcade style to a traditional 3rd person driving setup It's taking a few days to repair everything that the swap broke, but results should be cleaner faster code with more immersive and intuitive ux vibes.

Nice.. bit clunky to use on the phone, but handy new reference for sculpting plants in blender To access the archive directly: data.kew.org

I don't take many pictures, especially of myself- but I figure my kids might be curious some day so here's the rare update. Never been one for makeup, filters, editing, dye to cover greys, etc... Life is too short, be comfortable in your own skin.

4am to 5am is the golden hour If I had any control over my sleep, I'd always be awake for 4am.

Got our annual onion crop braided yesterday I've now made 5 onion braids in my lifetime, and the 5th finally turned out quite well! Maybe it wont take a decade of harvests to master this new skill Love the homestead feel they give the house for a few months

Dear everyone making those short blender tip videos, stop beginning with sloppy "newb" examples of bad versions of whatever you're trying to teach Show what you want at the beginning, I'm not wasting my seconds watching clumsy mistakes on purpose, hoping you eventually have a good point. #b3d

A meteor striking a live volcano is exactly the kind of portent the ancients would be losing their minds over

Highly recommend visiting your friends if you haven't seen them in person for years. Reach out, however long it's been.

Actually visiting an old friend in person today, like a real social interaction. Haven't done an offline social thing since like... pre-covid

'Walk softly and leave no trace' crossed with 'If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all' Polite obedience training from childhood resulting in me being very quiet and very alone for long stretches at a time, barely attached to reality.

Between this and Enshrouded, I may be very quiet for a while

Using a metal knitting needle to hold up my hair today, feels very much like being armed with a dagger. Time to bring back Victorian stabby hair pins for sure

After a much needed break I am back into working on my little game daily. It will be much more fun when the math and code skeleton is done and I can just play with the art side of things.... Python/node system progress feels like accomplishments, but makes for boring screenshot update posts.

Wow, how problematic was that balloon ball pit that it got its own FAQ entry with industry lingo term? How many meetings do you think they've said the word "hyperfrequency"? Im clearly still alive and doing important things.

contemplating time

Anyone I know who's playing Enshrouded? Just picked it up finally, having a great time so far

Coeus devlog update day 20: crater scatters and physics added in Each planet will be endlessly scrolling procedural texture and objects (with samples to find). Made entirely in UPBGE (Blender's game engine branch) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gameart #upbge #b3d #python

A very alpha look of my current project. Find a suitable planet before your sun vaporizes your species. #gamedev #indiegames #indiegamedev

Ready for another Coeus progress peek? Lots of time spent getting all these wheels behaving, almost ready for fun things #gamedev #indiedev #b3d #upbge #python #procgen

Occasionally after getting dressed I realize an outfit consists entirely of handmade items I created for myself.. Bonus when the outfit also feels cute
