Dropping the layers for the new room I'm working on into the game to see what needs to change. After checking it out, I decided that the big boat needs more parallax. So that means splitting out the layers even more and filling in the missing bits.

Trust the process.
Today I painted some rocks and tree layer elements, as well as coloring in the boat layers.

Experimenting with adding animation to Greeley at the tiller that responds to player controls.

I'm experimenting with various layout designs for my dialogs. My current fave is this one which uses the cute little Greley head for the cursor. I'm thinking of having various heads to use as emojis to represent the text. It'll look super cute.

Been a little quiet here because I've had my head down the last few weeks working on some code for the dialog system. Took me a while to get into it, but I'm firing on all cylinders now and hope to get it finished in a few more weeks.
In the meantime, here's some background Groats I forgot to post.

Just a slight change to Greeley's basic costume that's a little more summer-y.

Pretty pleased with how Gunwale is looking at the moment.

I also 3D printed the model a while back. It's very cool being able to hold it in my hands. I do need to do a reprint with the details printed with a finer nozzle. I'll get around to it one day... and maybe paint it too.

Here's a new angle view of the Regis in 3/4 top-down I'm doing for a video/cutscene.
Top is the 3D model I built for reference. I set up the appropriate angle and render it out in Blender with Freestyle lines turned on.
Below I draw over that and hand color it for the final version.

After a lot of hitting brick walls creatively I've finally gotten this to a point where I'm happy enough with it. There's enough in this prototype level to get the vibe right, so I'll leave it here for now and get started on some of the other demo levels.

The tiny buggy, but in color!
Seen here with Roob Ironvale and her brother, Brund Ironvale, the blacksmith.
The buggy has been painted up to appear in the Ironvale background layer as seen in a previous post.
