I am working on jazzing up the environment in JodelTown.
Currently experimenting with Geometry Nodes in Blender to make cobblestone paths.
If you have any cool geometry node tuts, send them my way 😁

I'm just back from a 3 week holiday and getting back into the roll of things ✈️🧳.
One thing I have been experimenting with, is altering textures to give them a more painterly look.
Not 100% happy with it yet, but we gotta start somewhere 🎨💪

I have been working on a protoype for a procedural pick up system that allows me to pick up all kinds of objects in JodelTown - wherever they are, with minimal anim setup.
Here is a vid showing the work in progress ☺️

The NPCs in JodelTown had some issues expressing their emotions (especially as they don't have faces ..yet 😬)
So I added some effects to help them along in the communication department 😉

My first try at a stained glass window. I love them in real life so they just have to make a showing in JodelTown (my indie game).
Of course the first motive had to feature the cows, there was no other way😁🐮
What do you think of it? ☺️

Working on more houses for my #indiegame JodelTown.
This one is a more rustic single floor hut, probably going to be used on the mountain pastures 😁
The inspiration was an actual hut from Salzburg, Austria - keeping it authentic 😉

Another Easter decoration for my indie game! 🐣
In Austria we get a couple of pussywillow branches and decorate them with coloured eggs 🥚, ribbons 🎀 and other bits and bobs ✨
You can use them also to decorate your own house in the game!

Easter is just around the corner, so it's the perfect time to add some cute themed props to my #indiegame JodelTown.
🐇🐣✨
For me easter is all about colourful, bright and fun decorations. For example, I made this bunny texture that I use for tablecloths ☺️

The latest house model for my #cozygame, JodelTown, has been added to the game! 😁
I'm really happy with how it captures the charm of the Austrian mountain region. 🏔️✨

To make you feel even more like being in the Austrian mountains in my #cozygame JodelTown, NPCs will sometimes use local terms and sayings 🗣️✨
These will be highlighted and to keep things clear I've added a toggleable menu where you can read up on their meaning 📖

I am glad you like it ☺️ 100% planned to add some flower boxes and other decorations and have them change seasonally as well.
Here is a prototype example I did a while ago with some tulips on the balcony.

I've updated the railing on the Austrian house for my #cozygame JodelTown.
The previous version was more rustic, while this one features a more structured and ❤️-design, matching the heart roof decorations. I think it's kinda cute 😁

I am currently working on new buildings to populate the town of my indie #cozygame JodelTown.
Here is an example of a standard house for the villagers to cozy up in - of course featuring a typical austrian countryside style 😁

I added item descriptions to my #cozygame JodelTown - here are some of the food related ones 🍎🍕
I had a lot of fun with these and love the opportunity to add some flavour and personality into the game, bad puns notwithstanding 😄😁

A new type of crop for my #cozygame JodelTown,
tasty crunchy Carrots! 🥕🥕
Especially important with Easter on the horizon, those hard working easter bunnies deserve a treat after all 😁🐇
I personally love the differently coloured ones ☺️
