Been pretty burnt out lately, so I've shelved the last project I was working on and am looking at returning to the kinds of things I was making before for a bit. Here's a WIP concept art for a character in a larger overarching story, her name is August.

I was looking at the old school skybox images for Mario 64, and sorta discovered I have a plethora of photography from a few years ago I took with various cameras, with some editing they make great trippy skyboxes...

Took a lot of tweaking, and visually still needs some work and maybe a bit of game juice... But I have a ledge grab mechanic that works reliably... Most of the time.

I've added a directional air dash, many things still need to be tweaked to contribute to a more smooth and fluid floaty-type 3D Platformer experience. But I've got most of the core mechanics down methinks!

Cannot recommend this game enough. My roommate and I are obsessed and starting new playthroughs left and right to explore the branching narrative.
We also got a new bit of vocabulary out of it. We now call chilling at home all day and doing nothing "Checking on the possums in our drawers."

It's Halloween, and the entire first Episode of Scarlet Hollow is free for you to explore on Steam.
Its branching narrative web is so intricate that you'll see less than 15% of the game in a single playthrough.
So get lost for a bit, and see where the road takes you.

they “pay” fractions of pennies to every musician there too
consider finding a better service

Still looking for new work, went to an organization today to help with job placement, trying to get appointments scheduled with specialists to get my hands fixed... Everyday is painful with these hands. But, still trying to push through. Any little bit y'all can give would help a ton.
