Sooooo after a "one-in-20-years" power outage in my area yesterday back to modelling loops for the #GMTKjam again!! My brother and I are working on a reverse Indiana Jones adventure - you need to return the "Loop of Life" back to its ancient resting place. Lets see how that turns out ^^

I rarely use Unity - I love this output Log thing in the bottom tho. It randomly gives crazy cool loading screen tips.
I mean of course. Who thought they could just pass in objects there are already persistent? Pathetic.
I am doing 3D art here and do not know what that evens means.

one of the gems I discovered at gamescom 24 - go argue with your duck
ARGUE WITH YOUR RUBBER DUCK or SEEK COMFORT. It's up to you.

We're preparing our new demo. The SEEK COMFORT scene was never before public. We're excited. And nervous.
