Needed a bit of a break from black and white, 19th century engravings over Christmas. So, I made my first low poly 3D model in @crocotile3d.bsky.social.

A splash of colour isn't so bad from time to time! 🎨💗

I'm still not sure if #screenshotsaturday is a thing here but hey.

Finishing up the prototype for my historical conman adventure game The Grift.

I'm really enjoying FANTASIAN Neo Dimension so far. Some people will find the pre-rendered, diorama backgrounds jarring, but it really satisfies the tabletop gamer in me.

Also, the 'memory' short stories remind me of Lost Odyssey, which is always a good thing.

Show me four games that influenced YOUR current game project.

Here's mine!

Thanks for hosting, and happy #PointNClickFriday!

I'm currently working on The Grift, a 19th century point and click adventure where you play a conman. It's made in Unity with the excellent #PowerQuest.

Made a lot of progress on my 19th century point and click adventure. All rooms and characters are ready for the prototype build. It's starting to feel more like a game!

I thought Cool Spot was the best thing ever and had no idea it was just advertising

Working on something new: The Grift, a historical point and click adventure where you play a conman in 19th century England. Still in the concept stage at the moment but hope to have more soon.

Detective Death is a short prototype I made for uni during a two week sprint.

You're a Grim Reaper, but you accidentally killed the wrong person. Now you have to interview the dead, piece together clues, and bring the lost soul back to life.

Guy's stuck working late. But it's not all bad: free ice cream being served downstairs!

Help him lie, trick and swindle his colleagues to escape the office at all costs🍦🍦🍦
