I. AM. BACK!

Oh boy. what was initially planned as a period of a week or two turned into 33 days of beuracracy, going from hostel to hostel and a bunch of unplanned spendings 💀

I got a home, internet and my PC.

HELLO PEOPLEEEEE!!!✨

Hello everyone!

I am moving out.

Even though not much has been posted during this period of going through bureaucracy hell and extra work, i am very sad to say that my work is paused for this period.

Hopefully i return soon❤️✈️

Hello everyone! Been a hot minute, eh?
Sorry for the absence, i really needed a break from extra work, due to rising stress from IRL stuff.

a TLDR of all that happened: ~10k lines of boring code, and news for future.

Hello beautiful peeps!

This day finally came! I present to you - THE LEGENDARY drop VFX! Orange didn't suit it since it was blending in with some current (and future) environments, so its sTyLiSh ReD~

Yippee!

Locals say that the one who finds this rare feller, will be blessed with strong heart, good health, and surely is destined to find love! Isn't it awesome?

oh wait, was that sudden lore drop?👀Locals? Who???

[Zero Thoughts Studio | King of the Croak @0ThoughtsStudio]

Couple days ago I teased something crawling in the grass. I guess it is time to finally reveal it, eh?

This little thing is called a "Heartbeetle", a japanese rhino beetle with a heart shaped body! Isn't it awesome?

@Dadwar_ snail? maybe
frog? doubt it cause no hippity hoppity

[Zero Thoughts Studio | King of the Croak @0ThoughtsStudio]

Days go by, things get more and more interesting and the game is starting to feel more like a game, rather than a sandbox with a player character. So here's a small teaser.

I wonder what's hiding in the grass there?

Greetings bug and frog enjoyers of all kinds!

Today i present you EPIC LOOT VFX! We're moving closer to legendary!
Got a lot of IRL brewing up in the meantime, so, can't really focus on work properly right now.

[Zero Thoughts Studio | King of the Croak @0ThoughtsStudio]

For the last couple of days i've been mostly busy with organising things, real life and many other *boring* things

Anyways, this is where its starting to get interesting! Here's a Rare loot drop VFX! Hope you like it.

@LeSweetTalk I mean, yeah, but i can't make a different rarity VFX pack for each area... or can i?

[Zero Thoughts Studio | King of the Croak @0ThoughtsStudio]

Hello everyone!

I am finally finished with all of the current VFX for the loot drops, so here's one for the "Uncommon" rarity. Nothing special yet, but it gets better, trust me

[Zero Thoughts Studio | King of the Croak @0ThoughtsStudio]

@LeSweetTalk Close, but you're off by 1 colour xD
I decided not to go for standart orange / yellow colour for legendaries cause it'll clash very hard with possible locations in the future, so i opted for next best thing: Red...

"Wild Gorillas Be Punching... Reindeer" i guess?

Today is meme break

I actually was discussing me working on this game with my colleague and he said "Yeah, i bet you have a whole lot of bugs in this game". At first i was angry cause how dare he doubt my skills but then i got the joke...
