I originally wanted to do collectible creatures for Steel Century Groove, but I switched to mecha since they have a more consistent body type. Then I got super invested in the lore… so now you get a big JRPG about how it all ended up this way 💀

Trying layering in some flipbook vfx (from asset pack) to emphasize the electrical aspect of this mech. #indiedev #gamedev

And it's secretly all just 2D under the hood.

It definitely is fun to look at and fly around in the editor.

I've been trying to build all the UI for Steel Century Groove in 3D because I thought it would be fun.

I'd never done voxel-style art before, but I'm pretty happy with how this hologram park turned out.

Something I’ve found frustrating as a programmer working on learning art is how tedious it is to change things after the fact, so I’ve been building a lot of tools to make it easier, like these volumes that let you apply color presets to a whole area. #indiedev #gamedev

Sometimes placing too many props at once gets boring so I built this spline tool #indiedev #gamedev
