[Log: 000] System Reboot

Leaving the broken dreams behind, I start walking again.

[Log: 012] Printer Parts

Today, I designed components for the 3D printer.
I tried many different shapes, but only a few of them feel good enough to use.

[Log: 011] Printer Animation

Today, I worked on the animation for the 3D printer.
The printer fills with a white liquid, then drains it into the floor once the print finishes.

The weekend is coming to an end, and I'm recovering my broken project.
Taking this as a lesson, I realized the need to change my development workflow.

[Log: 010] Deconstruction

Today, I drew some sprites needed for the robot to build a 3D printer.

[Log: 009] 3D Printer

Today, I drew a 3D printer for the robot to use.
I've been thinking about different shapes for days, but getting the quality I want is really hard.

While implementing the leaf-collecting system, an error occurred, and the entire scene was lost during troubleshooting.
It's sad, but I'll have to start developing this project almost from scratch again.

[Log: 008] Compromise

I made many attempts, but getting the exact plant shapes I wanted required too much time and energy.

So, I decided to choose a compromise: drawing fallen leaves on the ground instead.

Recently, I've been working on different plant designs for my game "Alone."
However, drawing organic shapes with curves in pixel art is really hard.

[Log: 007] Hammer

This time, I gave the robot a hammer.
Overcoming repeated burnout and lack of energy is still so hard.

[Log: 006] Hexagonal Pillar Debris

I drew a hexagonal pillar and small square debris this time.
Expressing shadows is still difficult, as expected.

[Log: 005] Debris

I drew two pieces of wreckage today.
I’m not entirely satisfied with the shading as it feels a bit clunky, but I decided to share the progress anyway.

[Log: 004] Scanning Animation

Today, I drew an animation of the Black BOX scanning.

이제는 저의 못난 작업물들을 조금 더 가벼운 마음으로 공유해보려 합니다.

이 작고 하찮은 작업물들도 하루하루 계속해서 기록하다보면 언젠가, 제가 느리더라도 앞으로 나아가고 있음을 깨닫게 해주는 증표가 되어주리라고 생각합니다.

아니, 그렇게 되기를 진심으로 바랍니다.

[ZeroApril @ZeroApril_]

그동안 저를 무기력하게 만들어왔던 완벽주의를 이제는 놓아보려 합니다.

별것도 아닌 도트 한 점에도 그렸다 지웠다, 완성하고 나서도 마음에 들지 않아 몇 달 동안 올리지도 못했던 작업물들이 너무나도 많았습니다.

이러한 저에게 필요한 것은 “완벽”이 아닌 “완결”이었을지도 모르겠습니다.

[Log: 003] Black Box & Interaction

Added a Black Box object that requires some items.
Implemented logic for filling requirements with collected scrap.

[ZeroApril @ZeroApril_]

[Log: 002] Pick & Place

Now the robot can place held objects where you want.
Fixed the sequence for smoother movement.

#IndieGame #PixelArt #GameDev #Unity #ProjectAlone

[ZeroApril @ZeroApril_]

[Log: 001] Item Interaction

Implemented the item carrying mechanic.
Gathering scraps is the first step of the journey.

There are so many unfinished projects that I haven't recorded in this diary yet.
I hope these projects can be completed, someday.

A Third Dream Fragment.

This project was a 3D horror game planned about a traditional Korean monster, the 'Eoduksini'.
This game's background modeling and the basic logic were completed, but other troubles made it impossible to finish.
