Mmm what helps me is really deciding what is important for a piece and what isn't. Like nailing the facial expression is important, but doing intricate detail on the hair often isn't going to make it break an artwork. So there I can save time by doing more of an impression of hair instead of detail.

We could implement all these things in our current game ofc, but I think we'd rather start on something new and apply all the things we learned there :) On to the next game @bjornvandesand.bsky.social !

The main thing that stood out to me in making this is how many UX things I take for granted in games. How to make it clear which items can be interacted with and not? Doors openings should be visible on both sides? Lots to learn!

We originally decided to see how far we could get in a weekend (of course, it ended up taking far, far longer in the end) so I settled on a quite simple artstyle with an easy workflow and very minimal animation. Animation was done with a combination of rigging in Godot and spritesheets.

The concept of this game came from our love of the series the Great, combined with these fancy portraits I made of our kitties at some point. Add in lots of cat puns, and Cat the Great was born! I did all art, animation, and gamedesign, while Bjorn did all the programming and dialogue.

But surely you can publish a chapter or two for your friends? 🖤

I love the Cor Blok paintings, they're such an original take on Middle Earth. And so did Tolkien, as he bought two of them :)
