Brian Quest 64 Drawn on my break

RunningSomeErins @runningsomeerins.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

So I took some creative liberties last night and elongated the driving rods, because I couldn't readjust the wheels without royally fudging the topography. Hopefully I won't get too obliterated. 🫠 #gamedev #blender #3Dmodeling #lowpoly

A close up of a 3D modeled low poly 2-6-0 locomotive wheel arrangement. Specifically the driving rod mechanism, which should be over the first wheel, is too far forward.

🍂🎃🍁IT'S THE SPOOKY MONTH🍁🎃🍂 And what a better way to ring in the fresh season than with a sneak preview of what's on the horizon for Slime 64 in 2027 👀 (Note: No audio yet. Everything is still subject to change and polish. We're just excited to have you with us for the ride!)

First time 3D modeling an engine. Do my proportions look accurate? Be honest I can take it 🥺👉👈 #3Dmodel #3Dmodeling #modeltrains #gamedev #indiedev

It's an in progress 3D model of a locomotive in Blender, inspired by the American Tahoe 2-6-0 engine. However this model has a comically large funnel.

I may have bitten off a tedious bite to chew, bespokedly hand drawing any textures that we don't already have in-engine. But I think the end result is pretty much always worth it 🥺 #Slime64 #indieplatformer #indiegames #blender #unity #3Dplatformer #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

Various textures that I've drawn digitally, including rooftop slats, bricks and cobblestone, stained glass, and different colored facades of medieval style architecture.

A medieval village shop building I modeled and textured in Blender, and brought into Unity for our game. The digital textures I've drawn have been UV mapped to the building to bring it to life

Oh that would be SO CUTE 💙💙💙 With little squeakies inside, or speakers with lines 🥺 Omg I had the worst mental image of someone chucking an Usagi slime plush down a flight of stairs and it screaming "YA-HAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

OH YOU'RE SO RIGHT!! 💙💙💙🥺 I used to have a plush one of these!!

It feels strange, starting from scratch. I'm still just a little raindrop, working hard to add my touch to the opalescent sea of incredible artists, and learning how to enjoy the journey instead of yearning for the end goal. Nonetheless, it's a really lovely thing to look forward to.

スライムになっちゃった！💙 (We became slimes!) #chiikawa

Hachiware, Usagi, and Chiikawa are now little translucent slimes with no mouths, similar to the slimes we have in our upcoming indie game Slime 64 c:

For now, I've got key art for mine and @waveparadigm.com's dev slimesonas! You might be able to find us and the rest of the Slime Team crew in the full game hopping around if you look hard enough c: #slime64

Left: My slime is cerulean blue in color, with a blob shape at the top made to look like bangs. I have little emerald "slimerings" since slimes don't have ears, and rimless rectangle glasses

Right: Adam's slime is gray with a big gray wizard hat, thicker eyebrows and big square orange tinted glasses for blue light filtering

I'm so sorry, that's the worst D: I've left wireless earbuds and storage USBs in parking lots so many times only to have them be completely destroyed. It's why I use over ear headphones now because I know I have trouble with losing tiny things lol I hope they won't be too expensive to replace :c

Remembered how much I adore @terminalmontage.bsky.social's The Fruitless Quests of Nabiu after having our monthly bingewatch of his channel. Absolutely charming character designs, and the animation is stellar as always. Karoto is a darling, and we can't wait to see more c: 💙 #indieanimation

Slimes of the World Demo Fact #1: To make it feel a bit more like its own world, I bespokedly hand drew a majority of the textures (don't worry, I got WAY more efficient with my space and size usage as I gained more experience LOL these are very early first attempts) #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

I've had this bio written for Calico for ages now, and yet it still feels surreal to be presenting it in this professional manner (and with his VA attached). But yeah, look at my boy! ^^

We're playing through SAGE demos, and I just watched my fiance play through "Windweaver" by Greenfeather Studios. Absolutely DELIGHTFUL game. I adore the art direction, and Wave enjoyed the movement. ARE DASH, BASH, AND DUKE FEATHERTON A THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE REFERENCE????

RunningSomeErins @runningsomeerins.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

This being said, this year has been my first attempt at learning 3D animation on my own. Wave helped me get set up in Unity (we know) and for a long time, figuring out how to navigate it kinda made me want to chew on livewires 🫠 I broke things, fucked up hierarchies, lost files, it was a mess...

RunningSomeErins @runningsomeerins.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I wanted all these guys to have their own personalities. The leap from 2D to 3D was a beast, but using smaller projects like making accessories for NPCs was great practice in getting used to the tools 😭 #slime64 #indiedev #conceptart #characterdesign

RunningSomeErins @runningsomeerins.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

So having low poly assets worked well in our favor! We initially planned to have a LOT more npcs to interact with in the museum, but due to time constraints we opted to focus more on system feedback. We wanted to make sure the game felt good before it looked good LOL.

The "Slimes of the World" demo was basically our testing ground. Wave and our tiny team were still building our fundamental systems from scratch, and I was learning Blender on the fly. I took two Maya classes in 2016, but it only covered high level basics like UV mapping lol. #Slime64

This is a screenshot of the inside of the museum in the Slime 64: Slimes of the World demo!

Hey y'all! So for the past 6 years, I've been helping my fiance make a video game! So while I warm up this account as my new main, I'm gonna post some concept art and progress since we're entering our final year of production 💙 Thank you so much, and enjoy the ride with us! :D #indiedev #slimes
