L8R SK8R is a retro inspired 3D platformer, with a 90s aesthetic, that is designed to push you to play it like a speedrunner

Every time you beat a level you collect the time you saved. Use that time to unlock new levels in the hub world, like stars from Mario 64

Hmmmmmmmmm
Been thinking about adding skins to L8R SK8R?

This felt like the obvious choice to test with

I love going to Melbourne for the MIGW (Melbourne internttional games week) and getting a few extra days of wearing winter clothes

It's a nice break from the Brisbane heat

Looking forward to PAX and GCAP!

Decided to update my capsule and would love any feedback

Do you think the blue background is an improvement?

Or do they both stink and I should just hire a capsule artist? 😅

I updated my level transition effect
Now with 100% more 90's vibes

L8R SK8R temporary tattoos came today!

I've decided to stick to just selling temporary tattoos at PAX (maybe some fridge magnets too?)

What do people think of these designs? Which ones are the best? The worst? Would appreciate any thoughts ☺️

Was getting ready to go buy some groceries. Didn't realise what I'd done until I saw myself in the mirror. I'm going to have to change...

Planning on selling some pins at PAX, but I'm not sure what kind of design would be good

Anyone have any thoughts on these three?

I can probably only do one, although I think I'll also do a temporary tattoo (Maybe the graphics sucked one?)

Also, might just get rid of the logo on the third one

I get sleep paralysis occasionally

Usually it's some kind of horrific/demonic thing, beings that emanate pure malice towards me

But a few nights ago it was just a weird little Muppet guy who just seemed to want to be annoying

Looked kind of like this

In 2023 I didn't know how to use blender. In 2025 I still don't, but at least I can get a half decent animation out of it

A while ago I made a QR code for my steam page and I guess I didn't bother naming it properly

I was looking for it and found two files called qrcode

I wanted to work out which one it was so I scanned both of these

I didn't remember what the other one was, but boy was I surprised when I scanned it

All set up at netherworld and trying to play one handed while I record this

I love using shaders to do all kinds of little things
Here's a ceiling light that is 100% shader for an office environment I'm working on for my PS1 inspired 3D platformer

Ugh, I didn't realise uploading a .gif as an image on bluesky would remove the animation
Here's what that was supposed to look like
