Not so serious bullshit projects by night.

Back! Now things are stable again, time to jump into some cheeky game dev
The space nightmare FPS is on hold for a short while as I help @bering.bsky.social with her hidden object game in the run up to xmas
So... hang around!

A big bottleneck in the project has been the production of sprites.
I've spent the past few weeks trying to make the process easier and more iterative.
Here's the results so far 🙃
Hard to convey, but this is days faster than before 💦

Just to clarify, I bring the entire blockout into UE from blender for testing.
The collision settings in the image are fine for blocking out/testing. Later on, anything unique from blender can be separated and made into bespoke, detailed level meshes with a more optimized setup

I usually block out the level in blender, implement all the level beats and setup basic functions/scripts. After testing, I start id'ing areas I can replace with modular kits.
The goal is to get interesting design from old level editors with some of the convenience of modular assets.

How I make my sprites!
I have limited time to work on the project day-to-day, so lots of effort focused on a quick/lazy workflow.
I render everything out from blender. Details are less important compared to the broad strokes. Most errors don't appear in the final sprite.
