Terraria pre-LunaticCultist :D That jungle ziggurat is taking some heavy inspiration from several builds I found online

Terraria pre-hardmode :] Didn't realize until this week that you can just make terraspark boots before the Wall Of Flesh. I've only ever watched people make it in hardmode so I never tried before..

Last day of June! Every part of my being hopes it was an amazing month for everyone, and uh- sorry for taking so long to post anything to celebrate. Wanted to mull over maybe, kinda, possibly being non-binary first.. Y'all can call me by any pronoun from now on :]

Kappa-1! Finished texturing her and the process itself wasn't as long as I thought, but I'm probably not gonna give her a rig. Maybe in the future I will- but, it took so long because I wanna do something else now!

Was feeling a bit iffy about using emerald blue as her paint, but I'm liking it. Added a sticker too so that the fans are a bit more obvious. Progress may start slowing now- but I loved making her so far! Textures just seems like they'll take a while.

STARTING TEXTURES NOW. LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. Also added handlebars above the arm sockets, an exhaust pipe on her back, and I made her head a bit shorter.

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

This is what I meant about a fan compartment. Watch your fingers :] Looking at her now- I'm thinking of changing the screen, cause I keep seeing V1 Ultrakill

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Still needs a lot more details that are swirling around in my head but- I got the head's shape, and I'm liking where it's going :] Added some lights to the chest too. Which I'm thinking of making into a fan compartment? Torso has the generator and in front of it will be the fans- that kinda idea!

HANDSIES I also figured out a way to mirror parts of the model without the mirror modifier, so now only half of her will be a giant mess of a texture when I get around to that part :]

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Got the arms down, so it's just the hands and the head next :D Way easier than the legs, and I replaced the flat wheels on the elbows and knees with gears which I think looks much better and makes more sense for how they'd move.

Robot Lady now got Leggies! that took way too much time, but I'm a third of the way there I think?

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Makin' a robot lady with minimal idea of what I'm doing. :D Updates will be at random- if at all.

Below Zero(like)! Wouldn't say it's as good as the original, but it has plenty of new elements to offer and the story's interesting! Don't have much else to say other than that- I love how the architect just ZOOMS to where they wanna go, so fast it looks like teleportation :]

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

An interesting design for the architects. Maybe each planet has a different type of body for them? Architects are kinda like digital constructs since they can move from one storage medium to the next and given that they have bio-mechanical bodies they fabricate themselves, it shouldn't be a stretch.

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Crystal caves(moderate)! This place has got my directions twisted SO MANY TIMES! Leviathans look creepy too but at least when one of them come by, they're easy enough to handle. Pick me up and those wimps get a face-FULL of drill and run away!

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

These absolute sirens scream so loud- each time I think a new demon from the deepest and darkest abyss has come to reap my soul! SHUT THE HELL UP YOU SEA BEAR >:[

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

BASE And the biome that it's in but, I, uh- kinda haven't explored it completely yet, so I ain't making a first impression just yet. Leaning towards mild.

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

ALIEN I love that they're called architects! Fits them well, and it isn't that generic. ^-^

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Ok so, when I heard about the antidote location, I thought it was going to be smashed into pieces and I'd be given a blueprint for it- having to go all over the map to find ingredients for it, but NOPE! We just wrapped up this plot point pretty dang fast.

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Penglings! Love their weird head mouths. Also, while I'm on the topic of penglings: the spy-pengling is really good cause there's already been plenty of locations that I can't get into because I am too tall- but the spy-pengling isn't! That's how I was able to get diamonds :D

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Probably not gonna have as many biome first impressions for Below Zero like I did for Subnautica though, because I feel like I'll just end up repeating myself a lot. May have a few things to say about the plot though :] | | | | Also, PRETTY V V V V

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Next game! Unlike the first game where I've watched youtubers explain the plot and jump cuts to important locations- all I know about Below Zero are some plot points and nothing else so I'll be kinda blind going into this! Now that I've played Subnautica, I have a lot of confidence I got this!

110 1

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Subnautica(love)! Game was way less anxiety inducing than I first thought! In-fact I think I've come to love it!! Then again- I did spam sonar a ton so that may have played a factor, and I was only really attack by the leviathans when I had the cyclops so- I may have just been lucky. TO BELOW ZERO!

Why you gotta punch 'em Ryley! They were just doing their job!

You were nice, lady. See you around, lady. :]

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Lava zone(dangerous)! They were VERY angry! Turbo aggression! Yet, the cyclops kept this from being scary and eventually they moved on. The zone itself was pretty moderate though- leeches taking my sub's power and getting lost trying to find the alien thermal facility made a bit more nerve racking.

110 1

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Lost River(moderate)! At this point with my cyclops and copious amounts of decoys, the ghosts were more annoying than scary. It also helped that the lost river is so compact- nothing escaped my sight!

Base update to clear the mind ^-^

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Floating Island(anxiety). The island itself is calm, nice, maybe even relaxing if IT WEREN'T FOR THE ABYSS BELOW IT. Sonar can reach most of the floor, but there's plenty of gaps that go EVEN FURTHER DOWN. I bet I'm going to have to dive down there at some point which gives me even more dread .~.

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Floating Islands(mild)! Been here before this photo, but I always forgot to take one. Pretty deep, but by the time I got here I got the sonar module! Way less anxiety inducing. Saw no leviathans and the sharks aren't that bad so this place ended up being me going from island to island :]

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

UUUUUNNNLIMITED PPOOOOWWWWEEEEEER!

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Mushroom Forest(mild)! FOREST VIBE! Too bad it's wedged between the Aurora and alien base. If it wasn't then maybe I'd enjoy the forest vibe even more rather than keeping my head on a swivel. Still pretty nice -u-

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

NoIdeaWhereThisPlaceIs(YeahNo-NotToday) Saw a giant leviathan so I'll come back later

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Mushroom Cave(mild)! Snakes kinda freaked me out at first but- they never once tried to attack my seamoth so I got around the place plenty easy. Got the blueprint for the geothermal power plant here :D

110 1

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Aurora Crash Site(moderate)! Only ever saw a reaper at the thrusters and now I vow to NEVER return there. I have no idea if they're at the front too, and I didn't stay long enough to find out. Inside was pretty calm with many new blueprints :]

110 1

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Alien Island Base(FUCK).. So- accidentally found this and got jumpscared by a Reaper and Warper. As for the island itself, it's pretty safe and I got a laser cutter early cause of this. But still- not a good first impression of the area .~.

110 1

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Red Grass(I don't know the biome's actual name[safe])! Even though it's deep, when I'm at the ocean surface I can still see the floor, so it's not awful yet. Wide open space means I can see everything and will likely not be spooked by the angry sharks. Built my base here(reefbacks are LOUD) :)

110 1

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Kelp Forest(mild)! Still able to see mostly everything and the forest vibes are nice! Stalker spooked me though, and the thought of not being able to notice something is coming for me is going to jumpscare me one day so- pretty mild which is a tiny bit worse than safe.

110 1

MiteByte @mitebytes.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Ok so, I'm going to like- share my first impressions with each biome as I find them? Something to keep me posting, and to share my thoughts. First off! The shallows(safe)! Can see everything around me and nothing wants to kill me :)
