Mostly a soliloquy and notes of a solo game dev

Apparently it needs some work done on the chain IK side, like custom IK with constraints. But for now this is it.

This is the current status of the procedural walking animation module. Unfamiliar and daunting as it was, it took a while for me to stop skirting around the actual implementation and finally dive into it.

[foolkien @foolkien]

Every time I start modeling, I doubt whether I can pull through and make something at least okay, but at the end of the toil, I become mesmerized by my own creation.

Very proud of this guy I modeled yesterday. It captures the silhouette of a real life hamster just so perfectly.

I'm working on a procedual walking module. This is my current implementation. It's still pretty janky.

[foolkien @foolkien]

Been dealing with real life stuff and learning some fancy skills

[foolkien @foolkien]

Worked on a new workflow for character modeling yesterday. Here I reversed the order and did the texture sketch first, then the topology.

[foolkien @foolkien]

My index finger joint is throbbing rn :( Probably due to consistent mouse wheeling and clicking. I'd like to practice more on making these things, but I guess I should take some rest.

A tiny house for my next project. I'm epecially satisfied with the carpet texture. White it took quite some effort to create it, it really adds to the atmosphere. Totally worth it.

[foolkien @foolkien]

[foolkien @foolkien]

I know I wrote in the Itchio dev log that the release would be 11PM PST, but Steam allowed me to click the release button early, so I clicked it...

@messiah467 The pleasure is all mine! This is such a nice drawing!

[foolkien @foolkien]

@zacsan_art That's weird. I fixed that logic to be pretty robust. Thanks for the bug report! will check it out.

Six days have passed since the release, but Channel 4 Midnight still hasn't been listed on Itch io. Basically no views or downloads. Kiddie Train got some visibility after it was listed, so I should probably just wait and see. Still, it makes me fairly discouraged.
