I can usually be found making video games, playing video games, or sleeping. Currently working on cozy plant care game "Plant Sitting" in Godot!

I've added a Peace Lily! Now to make sure that plants are placed in reasonable positions in different pots...

The color palette I am using, for an extra hint!

Bigger pot for bigger plants! Can you guess the first plant I have in mind for this pot? (Hint: the color of the pot is the color of this flower!)

No visual updates right now, except for my increasingly messy notes! Working on water-levels for a watering can and for plants.

Before I can get started watering with the world's worst modeled watering can, I need to defeat that age-old evil - model clipping! I'll likely be using a shader for this, how do you prevent item clipping in your #Godot games?

Working on some normal maps and lighting to get the look of the game set up, these textures will be replaced later on but I want to start building out some plant nooks! Next up, putting our watering can to good use and the addition of a sink to fill it from.

Is it really solo development if I have Reeses and Nutella as studio support members?

Was researching native plants to Croatia and came across the "Missing CS:Source" flower! ("Kockavica", or "the checkered plant")

I'm going for a mediterranean look with some @kenney.bsky.social textures! Do these look better as placeholder than the higher res textures I had previously?

Can't wait for my Draw.io to get even more messy as time goes on! But what is creativity without a bit of mess? Any suggestions or comments on the ideas so far?

@steinmakesgames.bsky.social Thanks for the addition to your Godot extension pack! I'll be excited to share more on the #Godot game I am working on which has the tentative name of Plant Sitting!

Got some programmatic stuff done today, here is before play and after play is started, setup for adding plants to pots during play!

How do you organize your game design process? I am going to try some flowcharts this time around. Any tips for organization?

Created a nice blue Hibiscus for you to take care of in my upcoming game!
