Rad, thanks for all the responses, everyone! I'm gonna buy it and try it out, I guess. I've never played a deckbuilder before or even many roguelike type things, so it'll be good to experience something new. Good gamedev homework!

Sketches from summer ‘21 I still like

Sketches of two characters with short tunics, samurai-inspired helmets, thigh highs and short, single-edge swords. The girl on the right in blue is holding her sword upside down and lazily towards the man on the left, who appears irritated.

Two sketches of the same character in a white gown over black breeches. She holds a long straight sword and scabbard.

On the left, she holds the sword sheathed at chest height.

On the right, she holds the sword drawn in a high guard while her other hand holds the scabbard in a middle guard.

Sketches of two teenage characters.

On the left, one with blue hair in a ponytail, a black veracity jacket, short shorts and ankle boots.

On the right, one with red hair in a shaggy bob, a white tank top with an orange circle graphic, short shorts and white athletic shoes.

Sketch of a blacksmith character. She has dark hair in an undershave wrapped up in a yellow bandana. She wears a knotted grey smock over a red chemis le tucked into a full grey overskirt and short apron. She caries a metalworking hammer.

Is Balatro actually good, or is it just addictive? Everyone's talking about it so I kind of wanna check it out as a gamedev to see what the fuss is about, but I have a lot of other games to play, too...

I did a painting using Vermillion.... in VR! Using the passthrough cameras to paint what I was looking at outside. Really cool! I was surprised at how much it felt like actual oil painting! o:

Player 2 Girl (provisional name) from @natsukazegamedev.bsky.social's upcoming game "Maple Forest" I originally did just the lines as a commission for @valtraid.bsky.social and added the color myself (sry for tagging you guys on like 20 different websites lol)

I just went to an eye doctor's appointment, and I met my first ever in-the-wild fan there! He asked me what I did for work, and I told him I was making Maple Forest...and he knew what it was?!?! He was super cool and nice! I'm gonna gift him a copy of the game, lolll 😭♥️

We're on the last day of Maple Forest's Kickstarter (www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...), and we're REALLY close to the final stretch goal, which would be a FULL COLOR OPTION for the game! I think it looks super pretty!! I'm really hyped to add it to the game! Just a bit further! \ o /

Currently working on a SUPER cute drawing of my game's mermaid. She's finding treasure on the beach, lol. It's a "thanks for the support!" post for the Kickstarter. It won't be done for another few days, but I just finished her face and I'm SO HAPPY with how it came out, so I had to come share it 😭
