Spider backpack. I cannot wait to add physics to the tiny limbs😭 Also do I need to implement an arachnophobia mode for that? #gamedev #horrorgame #horrordev #blender #solodev

a rectangular spider shaped back pack with the bottom half in white and pink and the top half and straps in a darker more reddish pink. On top of the main body sits a smaller rectangular head with four eyes. On each side it sports 4 limbs and next to the head there's two smaller appendages which I learnt today are called pedipalps that spiders use to sense and taste food, some can use them to build webs and male spiders can use them for reproduction. also it is missing its fangs cause I didn't know how to make them fit the design. Who knows maybe I'll add them someday.

mock up view from how it might look in game when you play as the character wearing the backpack

An older drawing perhaps stored in my memory to inspire a study, alongside the news that the lamp had been knocked over. The corner of Minster Gates, York & Minerva guards the books. #Minerva #bookshop #pencil #drawing #sketchbook

Pencil drawing of lamp post from about 1900 and a shop front of the late 18th century. Above the shop doorway is a carved figure of Minerva, goddess of learning and the theatre.

Pencil sketch of a shop window and doorway of the Regency period. Above the shop doorway is a carved figure wearing a helmet resting an arm on a pile of books.

Game dev tuts I've been making the past 6-7 months are now nearly complete. Final video scheduled to be out in the next days (covering SFX). Start watching the course over here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Learn 3D art, Blueprints and more. Please help to spread the word through reposts. Ty!

A thumbnail showing a portal with a rainbow vortex, seen inside of Unreal Engine 5. There is an arrow pointing to it and inside of it a screenshot from UE5 shows a blueprint version of the portal, seen from the side. Text reads "Part 6.4 - Recolor Vortex UI Widgets".

"The best pavement I've made so far" really isn't the sort of personal achievement I thought I'd be puffing my chest out over, but game development has a way of changing a man.

Kinda felt like resharing Makena's car cause I think most of you haven't seen it but also I should actually finish the dashboard at some point. (absolutely didn't get inspired to reupload because of the wonderful car models @neutronio.games is making👀) #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame #solodev
