Changed my camera to orthographic, and it actually looks kinda cool? Idk if I'll use it but it's fun to see the game a different way

Here's a couple behind-the-scene views you will never see in-game. I really love the isometric view, would be fun to maybe re-visit this game as like a third person city builder or something.

Still ramping up towards the demo, working on a new trailer for it along with re-working the game loop after feedback from CIGS. Took catalog of all characters made for the game so far today, here they are.

Contracted the talented fernandobravan to make this fantastic capsule art. You can see the progress from the image I first sent him to the final art. (Thank god I can afford to hire an artist and don't have to use the first one)

My dream is to get to this level of quality across all disciplines one day (or find somebody like Tiani has to balance out the disciplines I'm not good at)

Wasn't sure if I wanted the MC to talk in my game. I like when the MC is kind of a "mysterious" person that the player can prescribe multiple motivations to. But also I wanted to show emotion/personality, so I'm going with abstract speech bubbles.

Working hard on my demo for the ICG showcase. Gave up on controller support for it because it would be too last minute with probably a trillion bugs. Focused on the other 100 bugs for now 🙃
