Think of your melee weapon like a mosquito needle that absorbs Nectar from living things you hit and plants you harvest Wishlist :3 store.steampowered.com/app/739790/T... Records of the first needle are lost but the fleshy tendons and bone within make it seem out of this world #nectarmancergame

Here' one of the powers you earn in our game! It will instantly grow your plants at the cost of a little Nectar, of course. -Sometimes I'll take an animation too far as an exercise in intensity. The last few iterations aren't in the game but they sure are fun to doodle. #nectarmancergame #indie

FromSoftware shared a series of images showing Stormveil Castle at various stages of development in a magazine, CGWorld issue 286, and when I look at it, I feel like I can understand why Dark Souls II is the way that it is. There are areas kind of at or around each of these stages of polish.

This is a view from the surface of Comet 67P. The busy particles in the foreground are cosmic rays or bits of dust and ice. The dots moving in the background are stars.

Back in my yearly TF2 phase and man that game is still just so perfect. The more I come back to it the more I play classes like Engineer and Spy and I don't really know why.

Hey #screenshotsaturday! Nectarmancer is an acrobatic "gardenvania" where you use seeds as ammo or plant them into ammo factories. You do freaky things with genetics. I spent some time yesterday making this new trait that turns your seeds into shotguns. Help a dev (me&zac) and wishlist on Steam!

In hindsight, a "SHOTGUN PLANT" was a great idea.
