more old stuff, why not. Random pixel flyer thing, again from 2019

more old work. Starting in 2019, then again in 2023. As with a lot of projects, the early stuff is really evocative and interesting, but then I thought it needed to be something else enjoying rediscovering the early stuff without as much self doubt clouding my view

updated build, link in the repost below swapped out wheel colliders for a custom raycast thing as a number of folks recommended. I think I like it, I can see how I can get the control I want. Pretty bouncy right now but fun to drive around also colors and an island and pretty

wanted something simple, silly to work on to take my mind off things. Making a modular toy car thing. Idea is you can find and swap out various parts want to get in the habit of just posting builds of what I'm making, so here it is. It's not good, not yet oldmanofthefire.itch.io/little-vehic...

My dad died last Sunday. He had a debilitating stroke 5 years prior. Navigating that event and the past 5 years has been easily the hardest thing I've ever done. I didn't think I'd post about it, but I value being candid about feelings, even in public. More thoughts below.

additional context here that's maybe interesting I've made a few combat prototypes before but never been totally satisfied with them. This concept sits on top of those, is meant to really get at the thing I want first real prototype was in Dark Thicket (more in thread)

was struggling to wrap my mind around attack states, and had so many competing ideas. So drew up a plan for myself, derived from what I want things to feel like

from 1982, before I was born. Why I like reading old things. He's not talking about AI, or NFTs, or whatever. He's talking about a continual cycle of anxious misdirection. Don't be distracted Rainer Maria Rilke, Appendix to the Sonnets of Orpheus

sort of new to actually using discord, and the thing I like best about it is typing "disco" whenever I want to open it

not quite the look I'm going for I think. I want more brutal and sparse and unique / specific. But looks nice

ok, so I basically have these two rooms blocked out to a point where I want to start drawing, really think about platforming paths / patterns through them set dressing was a bit of a digression but I was into it and I like where I landed, so 🤷‍♂️

so this color scheme is the result of me accidentally loading the wrong camera profile and I was like WHAAT and then immediately was like oooh hang on, some things here make sense narrative wise, I need to keep this happy accident
