Back from vacation. Will get back to posting more frequently now. Lot's of things in the oven!

Also quite literally. Started getting into gluten-free bread baking recently.

My studio now officially has a name:

☕✨ Cosmic Mocca ✨☕

And the Filmstiftung NRW is funding the concept+prototype phase for my game Worldlines, a 3D visual novel about two (ex-)lovers in space who grow closer while drifting apart.

Started working on a progression system for your Animons where you can increase affection levels (by taking them on runs) and trick mastery (by using the trick)

Progress is shared among Animons with the same name/number.

Here's a little progress on the revamp of the enemy intelligence. It now evaluates the best dice values for each trick and takes bonus triggers into account. It also calculates scores depending on amount of re-rolls needed, probability, and effect gains.

Feels good! Whatever it was that caused the constant crashed on CI pipelines, #Godot 4.5 seemed to have fixed it 🤩

automatically exporting and deploying to Steam and Itch by just pushing to a specified branch... *chef's kiss*

Using dice to reduce status condition stacks is working now!

Dice that match the condition's aspect (Poison = Patience, Burning = Fury, Tide = Wisdom, Curse = Mystery) reduces it by twice the amount.

Experimenting with a shader-based shiny effect. Tweaked this shader a little to make it change based on position: godotshaders.com/shader/2d-ir...

and mixed in the color masking from this one: godotshaders.com/shader/2d-ho...

Yet unnamed Animon from today's stream, Mystery aspect!

Dark blue horse with no hind legs and instead has a glowing fog-like tail. It's front hooves are made from glowing yellow fog and the head has no face or snout, just the general shape of a horse head. Yellow wavey lines decorate it instead. Crescent moon shapes are hovering around its neck and torso and a glowing orb above its head looks like a tiny full moon.

QRP with your favorite #portrait you've drawn!

Haven't done many portraits but still like this one.
Portrait of a woman with braided blonde hair, outside, holding a hat and smiling. She's wearing a long-sleeve with a monkey face on it.
