Not as nice looking as the neon lights, but it shows off the animation stepper a little better, and some progress I've made on the controller, and UI.

Made a little cryptic puzzle game prototype for CorgiJam last weekend. Runs in browser, only a handful of levels and no polish, but pretty pleased all the same.

I've started work on orchestral fantasy RPG music 🎮⚔️🎵. It's a lot different than the 16-bit stuff that I composed recently, and falls more in line with western RPG traditions than JRPG music. Check out what I've written so far:

I made this using a series of render targets. The chug was so real that the engine consistently and frequently crashed.
So I remade it using materials (shaders) and wow, what an improvement. From literally unusable to buttery smooth.
Lesson learned.
