For a long time, I had a slideshow of wallpapers with scene photos from my game running on my desktop. Yeah, I'm still proud of this one 💛

I have a list saved on the #Unity3D assetstore with all the assets I really, really recommend for basically every project. Most of these are auto-includes for every new project I set up and generally, they are focused on doing one thing super well. assetstore.unity.com/lists/highly... [aff. link]

Circling birds high in the sky brought a bit more life into this game. It lacks animations, but I feel okay about it. Its charms are in other areas.

Hamsters are cute, too, I guess. Not as cute as guineapigs. But cute. And they hold seeds in their tiny paws, which really, guineapigs just don't. Point for hamsters.

Synty is this week's Publisher of the Week over in the asset store, with many packs on sale for 50% off (and a bonus free asset). If you've been looking to get some of those, this might be a good moment =)!

Another look at some scenery. I feared this to tank FPS, but yay for good optimization, it doesn't!

You can never have too much #guineapig in your game. Prove me wrong.

A goose in a sulphuric spring. Maybe not the smartest decision, who put it there? (exists this textbox with an innocent whistle)

Are you located in the north-western part of Germany?
Ideally in Grafschaft Bentheim, Emsland, Kreis Osnabrück or Münster?

I started a #Unity3d User Group!
First meetup is Oct. 24th and I would love to see and meet likeminded people 💛

The large lake at the foot of the mountain was fun to work with. I had so much space and no idea how to fill it, then I remembered lakes are a thing.

Plus, the @synty.bsky.social team is amazing when it comes to creating "purchase me"-looking preview images, aren't they. There is so much passion packed into each one, making my fingertips itch.

#Synty has a sale going on! Polygon sets, their animation pack and their sidekicks are on sale right now. I'm currently working on a project using the Samurai pack and it's incredibly fun to work with. Highly recommend checking it out! syntystore.com/christinacre... [affiliate link] #gamedev

Looking back over a part of the path you traveled, right before the autumn ridge. How many animals do you find?

After releasing the newest guide on the #Unity3D layout system (Layout Groups, Elements and Content Size Fitter), you can now purchase all six guides in a pack! That's 161 pages of material with hundreds of images, lots of scripts and project files! #gamedev

The actualy lift was quite a headache to figure out, but the payoff of riding it at the end always makes me feel so happy 💛

I'll release my next #Unity3d tutorial tomorrow and I'm ultra nervous :D It's all about Layout Groups, Layout Elements and Content Size fitters and goes into detail on how to work with all those parts to create UI designs. It's very in-depth and I hope people will enjoy it #gamedev

The start/ending building for the lift! And the friendly older couple sending you on the mission to find the lift in the first place.

No idea which type of bird this one was, but I love(d) the yellow in contrast to the lush green around it.

Beavers! Lots of players managed to overlook them, but they are just so cute.

I love the colours in this one. Seriously, implement a camera in your game, you'll play it a lot differently all of a sudden.

This was my rather pitiful attempt of creating a tiktok video for my game ^^° I still like it.

Today's progress mainly saw cleanup of code and a new structure for my #pixelart app's vertical version. Brushes are now directly below the drawing tools in quick access and it's a scroll rect you can look through to find the perfect brush to use. Brush scaling is in, now, too!

Made some serious progress today in my #pixelart app. Reworked how brushes work and managed to implement duo-tone brushes. Worked on the selection logic to fill selected areas and even managed to finish the first part of the Brush Creator Studio. Still a few bugs, but still: happy for now. #gamedev
