Inspired by a recent game, I made this ape and I'm calling him Handy. I spent a lot of time on his fur and beard details. He's a Work-In-Progress. I'll dress him up with a unique outfit, pose him, and make a diorama for him with colorful lighting.

Here's a look at a big project very early in development. I made this small log cabin house that will be in a forested mountain region. The player will be able to explore this house and the surrounding areas across multiple scenes. There's still a lot more to work on.

I made this peaceful spring forest path scene recently. I added some sun rays to enhance the lighting.

Usually, I focus on art in Dreams, but sometimes I get these big ideas for interesting logic systems. This funny looking contraption fairly accurately simulates sun angles, moon phases, and temperatures at any time of day, date, latitude, altitude, and climate.

Just finished an outfit for a playable version of Orson, who I previously made a bust for back in December. His scarf flops around nicely as he moves. I still haven't worked on his animations, but those will come soon. He will appear in an upcoming project.

Vooma, the last of the six goblins I made for The Hexmasters Gallery (October 2024). She's the doctor of the group and is very smart and a little quirky. She turned out more basic than all the others, but it fits her style.

Fraxx, the fifth of the six goblins I made for The Hexmasters Gallery (October 2024). As you can see from his gold and fancy clothes, he's quite wealthy. He's a mayor and businessman who spends a lot of time managing things in the clan.

Wizmox, the fourth of the six goblins I made for The Hexmasters Gallery (October 2024). With all that tech and metal, he's clearly the engineer of the group and also owns his own industries. He's also my favorite of the group.

Jixie, the third of the six goblins I made for The Hexmasters Gallery (October 2024). She's the chef of the group and is very casual and friendly. She can create purple flames and use her twin knives. Jixie also runs a chain of diners with her name.

Zorskew, the second of the six goblins I made for The Hexmasters Gallery (October 2024). He's the magic user of the group and can summon demons. I spent a lot of time on his staff effects, hat, and robe physics.

Here's the first of six characters I'm re-showing from The Hexmasters Gallery (October 2024). He's Krungle and he's the biggest of the group. He has super strength and can make effective use of that big fearsome scythe-like axe.

Still a while until I can show what I'm working on now, so here's a look at 4 locations used in the story segment of The Hexmasters Gallery (October 2024). I managed to fit all of this and all of the story into one scene, with a fading effect between each camera view.

Another example that shows the other two rooms.

Been very busy getting another project started. It will take a while, but here's another look at Immersive Elements, which I released last week. It shows an example of how the scenery outside changes dramatically and seamlessly between rooms, with clever use of trigger zones.

I just released Immersive Elements. It's a small game focused on quiet and relaxation. Aside from a simple central room, it features four rooms themed after the elements, with outside scenery that changes for each room. I'll show some more in coming days.

Haven't posted much lately, but I've been hard at work finishing this small game. Here's how the rooms look right now. I expect to release the game tomorrow.

The Hexmasters Gallery in motion. I spent a lot of time working out how to present the 6 characters and arrived at this solution. There was the platform, the computer screen, the intuitive controls, and also the overall feel of it. It's definitely my most polished project so far.

The Hexmasters Gallery. I worked hard on this between September 2023 and October 2024. It's a special story and character showcase for possible future games with my goblins. Over several posts, I'll go into more detail about it than I did last October.

Springtime at Lake Kalinoc. I made this in March 2024. The main feature of it is that reflection, which involved mirroring everything in the scene, even the moving clouds. The light even changes as clouds pass in front of the sun.

Some shots of the scene. The view of the bookcase is sideways for easier reading of the titles.

Karthuul's Cozy Cabin. I made this relaxing scene in January 2024 as a simple winter project. I spent a lot of time working on Karthuul's animations. I'm currently working on something with a similar theme, but with more player interaction.

A Grimblenix House. I made this in October 2022 for the Halloween community jam that year. It's a quick game in which the player just walks along a spooky forest path and goes into the house to look at the tables of candy. There's a little jump scare ending at the middle table.

Crobb's Crossing. I made this in September 2022 for All Hallows Dreams that year. I managed to fit this road, gas station, and diner into the provided scene template. It even has moving cars and a giant goblin. I went to a crazy amount of effort for it, but it was fantastic.

I had a good birthday recently. I baked a good cake and also made it in Dreams. This one is peanut butter chocolate chip with chocolate frosting and peanut butter candy decorations. I'll show the real cake soon.

PlaidLight Logo Intro 3.0. I spent a lot of time making this in spring and summer of 2022 and I still use it. It features Karthuul, my orc mascot. It also adapts to the time and date. The addition of a character helped make this better than my previous logos.
