Been a while since one-button games were a thing, but I am really enjoying Bauhaus Bonk.

Thanks to @mightofmerchants.bsky.social our warhammer tabletop group now has a detailed map of Eilhart. Building it was awesome. I tried my best to keep close to the lore but added a lot of homebrew to it as well. If you are interested for your own games just message me

A picture of a map i created with the tool canvas-of-kings. It shows the city of Eilhart from the warhammer tabletop rpg game 4th edition. the city is at the river Eile, which becomes the river Schilder further north. The city is well populated with a high density of houses inside the thick city walls and a spawling harbour district. Another smaller river leads into the river Eile and within the smaller river is a small Island located. i could go into endless amounts of detail regarding this map and my homebrew lore for it, so if you'd like a detailed description just ask me.

Here we stand at our happiest, when mother gave me these words as dowry: 'Nothing will come of nothing.' O fool I was! I spent my one 'nothing' at once, yet by providence, the other remaineth. Shall I hoard it or cast it forth into our careers for fortune’s smile? Sweet Baphomet grant us counsel.

Wheee! So happy to see this project, which I was involved in during its early stages, popping up on Bluesky and being so well received. Very proud of my Spoonfulish friends and former colleagues for what they’ve accomplished! ❤️ (Now shoo, put it on your Steam wishlist!)

Lookin forward to Bauhaus Bonk - scheduled for release on February 8th! Not only does it look the part, it single-handedly catapults Bauhaus philosophy into the 2021st century by making form-follows-function the actual mechanic of the game! #IndieGames #GameDev

Two years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Spoonful Games on a sadly discontinued project. I created this cozy tea corner, a place where adventurers would gather to share stories and find guidance on their journeys.

- Elena

#3DArt #Gamedev #CozyGaming

A 3D render of a small, cozy sitting corner in a warm light. The shape of the room resembles a small cathedral, with the entire back wall consisting of a stained glass window in cool, blueish tones. The window shows a sleeping, humanlike giant surrounded by flowing natural elements like trees, flowers, water and a sun. Half of the tapered top section of the window is covered by a red draped curtain. The window casts colored light into the room and onto the floor.

From the ceiling hangs a metal lamp with cut-out shapes that project warm ornamental patterns onto the surrounding walls. The floor below is covered with an assortment of colorful sitting pillows in various patterns, shapes, and sizes. Some of these pillows are inspired by South American and Oriental cultures, with a color palette leaning towards warm tones like reds, earthy oranges, and beige.

In the middle of the pillows, which are arranged against the three walls of the corner, there are two tea tables with hammered golden tops. On the lower tea table sits a plate with nabat, or Persian rock candy, a shiny bowl filled with rosebuds, another bowl with loose black tea, and some cookies. Placed on the taller tea table in the back is a samovar, traditionally used for brewing tea in Eastern European cultures. Its shiny, metallic body is adorned with delicate ornaments.

The floor of the entire room is made of warm brown wooden planks, with large portions covered by three rugs: a round green one with a short pile, a woven warm-white one with a zigzag pattern, and a dark, fluffy, blueish one with long hair. The walls appear to be plastered with clay and are decorated with framed children's drawings. In the left corner, a plant in a terracotta pot adds life to the space. Its thin, flowing stems and rounded, big leaves give it the appearance of a water plant.

The whole room glows with the warm light of the afternoon sun.

@polygnomes.bsky.social

another concept from that discontinued project. i really enjoyed working on this at the time because if you open up a building like this it immediately fells like some kind of toy or doll house :D

#conceptart #fantasy

digital concept of a cozy fantasy cottage, the walls are opened to show the inside of the building. the interior is quite open with some furniture, a hearth and a paravent in front of the bed to give the dwellers some privacy. the entrance of the house has developed from a wagon and ther is an additional, little, round building for storage nearby. the colors are bright and there is a stork sitting in a nest on the roof.

the same concept like the one before but with different colors and the shading removed.

@polygnomes.bsky.social

An old concept i did for a discontinued game project. These wagons belonged to a nomadic culture from the bronze age in a fantasy setting.
