Added a mining elevator to Planet Keke, and initially copied the code for it from a metro train along with its movement. Whee!

Warning! There are currently at least 2 scam websites posing as Baba Is You merch stores (babaisyou .shop & babaisyou .store) that will probably steal personal info. Fangamer is the only official site for Baba merch. I'm not sure how much I can do to contest the sites atm but I'll look at my options

Updated the camera system in Planet Keke so that the photos are square-shaped and the planet rotates along with your targeting reticle. Thanks for people in my stream chat for suggesting these changes!

Some more photos from a couple of days ago.
Stack of 25 photos of the night sky, aimed towards Polaris. The stars form concentric circles as they move across the sky. Various trails of what appear to be airplanes, and maybe satellites are also visible.An enormous ball of charged gas and nuclear fusion hanging low in the sky, being obstructed by an equally enormous ball of cheese.

Keeping on the topic of recreating stopmo in 3d, here is another commission I did with a needlefelt look in Blender! I used Wooly by DoubleGum to do the heavy lifting! The tools are great to have and DoubleGum was responsive when I ran into any technical problems!

Happy to announce the dice @hempuli.bsky.social commissioned made it safely! I've gained a few new commissions since taking his so I'm back to putting people on a waitlist, but don't forget to DM me here or on discord if you ever want a spot!
Three sets of dice sitting on a note depicting a Baba is You themed comic where Baba turns themself into a d6. The dice sets, from left to right, depict a forest, amethyst geode, and corruption.

Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber

Coded a tutorial message for an indicator that warns you about imminent crashlanding, and had a scenario where the tutorial first triggered as I was flying into the sun
A rocket is about to fly in the sun, and an unhelpful info prompt turns up that warns the player that there's an obstacle ahead that they should avoid

The map in ESA2 needs a boundary, and the intent has been to put asteroids there. I ended up coding a little tool to automate the process somewhat and I'm glad I did because otherwise I would've had to place ~2500 asteroids by hand. It was still a hefty process though
A grid with mysterious light red blobs present at the bottom-left corner. There's also a faint silhouette of a spaceship in one of the grid cells
