in all seriousness kinda yeah, but I'm sort of approaching with a mix at the moment. I'm actually really happy with the bit i do at the start. trailer goes over that shooting farther targets, cutting cleaner, throwing items closer to things, all do more damage; which i agree is kind of the big pull

Making the trailer for ValoR Tactics and I'm constantly torn between making something that looks more modern or just remaking the unit introduction from final fantasy tactics

Here's the progress results for drawing every single day for the whole year. Some days were good, some felt worse than when I started, but here's where I ended. Each good day felt like luck, and I think I rolled well for the last piece. It's still surreal for me to look at, that I actually drew this

There's a totally surreal feeling to taking a game graphic and finally seeing it in engine. It's like "yes, you have in fact been making a video game. This wasn't a dream, it's real".

one of the upsides to streaming gamedev is you get an audience of people to keep you on task. one of the downsides is you completely forget you wrote stuff like this for the bit when you're trying to refactor this garbage
