Behind the scenes of the UI/UX design struggles 😂😭 from this mess, I think we have something that will work for now but I'm really curious to see what our next Playtesters think.
Can't wait to show you the before and after once I'm done!

Trying to figure out how to do some Modular buildings - so here, my doors! 🚪 Took me most of the day to unwrap and texture these 🥲 but Substance Painter and I are slowly fighting less👀
Which combo is your favorite?? I like the green and stone!

Been working on the rigging and animation courses by @pierrick_picaut - what an icon! Can't wait to get my own animations into our game 🤯
It also helped me clean up some weight painting - so here's a little wiggle jiggle dance for your enjoyment 🪩

Everything’s still in progress ✨ We made some big decisions this weekend, so even this 2nd pass of the character + vacuum isn’t final.
Scrapping ideas is a hard lesson to learn, but I love it! Much easier than pushing an idea that doesn’t work.

Creating a small city is so hard 🥲 this is definitely my big learning leap for this project. Kinda just going off vibes 😅
It still feels way too big, turns out scope creep isn't just for mechanics 👀
Happy with our 3rd iteration so far!
