Some behind the scenes for Proto Trigger!
This time I talk about using normal maps with a #lowpoly aesthetic.

Absolutely gorgeous game - already one of my favs.

Makes me genuinely wanna get out there and have some climbing/camping weekends!👌
Reach the summit in Cairn!

Climb anywhere as Aava and challenge deadly Mt. Kami. Choose your route carefully on the giant mountain. Explore for supplies to fill your pack and discover long lost history. Camp, rest, and prepare meals to recover.

Survive and overcome!

Also, insight into how someone who can only do pixel art does concept art 😆

Just in case anyone was wondering, the BBC sound effects library DOES have an Orangutan farting in the woods. 🧐 (1:09)

Given myself an entire week of game full time game dev.

You know what that means, baby. U&I.
I'm talking multiplayer lobbies, button remapping, the lot.

Feels good.

No dev posts from me this week, instead hear my genuine, childlike wonder as I realize dry-humping the trombone in Peak makes different sounds!

Also, the more you 'cook' it, the funnier the sounds it makes. Awesome little detail.

Calm yourselves ladies n' gents, and assorted riff-raff - I'm going to talk about HUDs.

I know, I know... But you only live once!!

You can use LUTs in Godot?! 🤯 Having a moment, that's so cool.

For context, this is what a LUT is:

Ridiculously helpful guide for you tweeners out there!
My interactive tween guide for Godot is out !

If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help!

The guide is free and will always be 🩵

Something a little different - a mini devlog about a recent, if a little gross, addition to my game!

First pass texturing this cute lil' guy!

He latches onto wrecked ships, reactivating them with his 'glowy bits'.
