Sometimes I'll load up this room to have in the background while I work, without the music, just for the ambiance.
It helps me out when I'm having a stressful day, lol

I had to wait until this morning before work to post this since Bluesky was down.
I ended up working some during my time off, but I managed to re-do a quick scene for the trailer.

I'm planning some stuff out right now, but I think Nomad Sculpt is going to make working on the terrain of the world map a whole lot easier than what I had to deal with in Dawn of Dusk.

One thing I keep forgetting to mention was that the battle system I created for Crystology is basically a spiritual successor to the one I created for "Fortress" – my little HyperCard RPG project I did back in 2023.

I lowered the price of Dawn of Dusk to $6.
I'm not sure if I will resume work on the next game or not, but I plan on leaving Dawn of Dusk up forever, for anyone who wants it.
