The main culprit being this thing used to pick the range of notes, which is extremely annoying to use
A screenshot of a note picker element with two columns of values. Currently, it says "Notes: C2 to B4"

There are only two (✌️) technical features left to do in Café Notes for the demo version, and then it's only art and design. I am getting excited ✨
#gamedev
A pixel art logo that says "Café Notes" in round and curly fonts. The N of notes is made out of latte art in a coffee cup.

I have a main menu!

#gamedev #pixelArt
A screenshot of the main menu of Café Notes, a mobile app. The colour theme is pastel, there are a few buttons for the standard menu options, and the logo of the app in pixel art at the top.

Finished the logo (mostly), it's not perfect but it's good enough for now 👍

(Now watch me try to use the coffee N as an app icon and struggle to make it readable in any context!)

A pixel art logo for Café Notes. It appears to be written on a blackboard, and the N of "Notes" is latte art inside a coffee cup.

Step 2 : still ugly but in a consistent way this time #gamedev

(UI design is hard 😔)
A screenshot of a mobile app. The background is cream coloured, and it has a music staff with one note on it, two icons with numbers indicating the amount of right and wrong answers, and two rows of buttons with note names. It looks like it has a cohesive pastel brown theme, but the icons are still clashing and the buttons look basic.

At the part of the project where it kinda works but is ugly as fuck #gamedev
A screenshot of a mobile app. The background is light purple, and it has a music staff with one note on it, two icons with numbers indicating the amount of right and wrong answers, and two rows of buttons with note names. It looks very much unfinished, with no cohesive design and mostly default textures.

I made actual progress on some projects for once! I'm especially happy with the watch face, this is much better than the boring default one
A picture of an arm wearing a smart watch. It shows the current time in a cute bubbly font, with bubbles showing the current date, weather, steps and heart rate. The background is a drawing of a pastel bedroom.

I heard it's that time of the year
A simple digital drawing of a bunny eared robot with a screen for a face. The ears are colored with the trans flag stripes, and the screen shows the windows XP bliss wallpaper with the progress pride flag in the middle.

For reference, its forearms are like those liquid phone cases. Problem is, i don't know how to abstract it while still making it look good, and i tried with shaders but my good friend Voronoi can only take me so far

He's 3D now
A bunny robot, rendered in cel-shaded low-poly 3D. It has a simple ball jointed body, rainbow transparent ears, and its face is a screen displaying the windows XP tropical wallpaper.

2021 vs 2023

A redesign of a #MerMay entry from 2021. I really like to see how i progressed ✨ (even though the first one had to be significantly more rushed, on account of it was merMay)

#art #mermaid #oc
A simple digital drawing of a ethereal looking manta ray mermaid with white hair and eyes, surrounded by spirits. A reference sheet of the same mermaid with more details, including a staff with a whale skull and a seaweed belt holding a conch.
