Say hello to Oxon!

I hand painted his body parts like so and simply put them together in Unity! 😄🖌️🎨

Here are the original paintings for Villin from Somniphobia!

I simply paint out the body parts, take a photo of them with my phone and use lasso select in GIMP to carefully cut out the body pieces. Then I can just stick them all together in Unity 😄

A preview of the cameras in Somniphobia (2021)! This is actually a really old post from Instagram but I am just reposting it here 😅

For our first year at uni we had to make a game in multimedia fusion. If you can spot any bugs in this play-through, let me know!

Hello everyone! Throwback to one of my first games, Somniphobia. What’s this down the hallway? 🤔

New Rover... new Look Home icon! 😎

In the Christmas update we had the new rover model, however we still had the old Look Home icon - this new icon was on our backburner for a while, but now it's finally here!

A new Crab Home menu for SeaYaLater! With a nicer background and better upgrade and launcher buttons!

In our Christmas update, we added a RESEARCH menu which shows all of your photos. Following people's feedback, we made it possible to navigate with less clicks!

Hey everyone! As a part of the Halloween Special's level, you have to follow a trail of sweets to find the lantern 🎃🧙‍♀️

I'm glad you like it, and it is hand drawn!! Here is the original painting:

So this character is obviously all 2D, but it changes its perspective / angle of view as you walk around it. I like how this manages to keep the 2D paper-like aesthetic but makes it somewhat work in a 3D environment :D

Well I managed to put this scarecrow together today... so I guess that's fairly good progress 🫣

A small update on a personal project, Moving Shadows!👻

Just finished painting the parts of a Pumpkin Monster for a Halloween Special! These are hand painted textures using acrylic paints that I will add to the game🖌️🎨

I have been lucky enough to help out @freerangedevs.bsky.social with their new HUD for ROVA!

After Tom (@developertom1.bsky.social) rewrote the entire Menu System, I was able to add menu transitions and draw some new icons for all of the GUI ready for the Halloween update!
