Had a couple hours to spare today so I caught the train to the beach. It’s cool you can just do that

I was struck with an urge to draw the Spider Land ending

Rough digital sketch of the final scene from Spider Land (good game you should play). Low angle of a radio/tv tower. A woman sits on the platform edge, sheltered by an umbrella. A man stands next to her, hands in pockets, looking awkward. Stylised swirly clouds in the background. Whole thing is black and green, with a some white highlights.

Played through Calamity Cait today, and it was exactly as dark and hopeful as I've come to expect from @xavibell.bsky.social If you're in the mood for a slightly heavier VN then you should give this a go store.steampowered.com/app/4200450/...

I'm getting the hang of it now

Screenshot of a game I'm working on. 3D, semi-realistic scene of the worst apartment you've ever seen. Shutters on the window cast orange light and shadows on the floor. The whole room is mostly empty, besides a mattress on the floor, a wardrobe shoved in the corner, and a small dining table. There's also two doors in the back of the room, one leading to a bathroom, and the other to parts unknown...

Staffroom of desolation and dread ❤️

A very uniformly lit staffroom, devoid of any bright colours. It's mostly browns and faded yellows. A shitty table sits in the corner, surrounded by even shittier chairs. There's also a small kitchen to the right, with a sad looking fridge beside it. It's all soul-crushing, and not a place anyone would want to spend their lunch break in.

Low angle shot of a small catamaran. A man in a hawaiian shirt sits on the back steps, looking down at the water. A woman stands behind him, hands behind her back, staring longingly into the distance. Behind her, on the roof of the boat, another woman sits, her eyes glued to a pair of binoculars. Orange and blue sky in the background.

A dirt paths winds off into dense bushland, with a wooden fence following it. Powerlines criss-cross the scene, dissolving into the distance. Mountains and wind turbines arejust barely visible in the background, smothered by overcast, purple and orange skies.

An almost empty wharf, overlooked by a large hotel with many balconies. Camera is at the end of a pier, looking back toward the foreshore. Lots of small poles and signs. A large group of clouds sit in the sky.

A small, rectangular lighthouse sits on the edge of a cliff. In front of it is a viewing platform, overlooking the ocean. A woman and kid sit on a bench in front of the lighthouse, looking very small in comparison. The silhouette of a jagged coastline juts out to the right of frame.

Currently rediscovering how fun it is to draw squiggly coastlines

A very rough map of a fictional continent I made up just now. The coastline is drawn in a thick white line (on a black background), somewhat resembling somewhere like Ireland or Iceland. Lots of jagged edges. Marked with red crosses are a five different places I'd think would make sense for a city to be. They're mostly on the coast or next to a river. I've drawn some rivers in blue, emanating from the centre of the continent. That's where some very tall mountains would be, although I haven't got around to drawing those yet.

Calamity Cait screenshot. A small catamaran is docked in a wooden pier. A pelican sits at the top of its mast. An orange and blue sky looms in the distance, in contrast to the rest of the scene, which is low detail black and white.

Another screenshot. A gravel path winds off into dense bushes. Powerlines criss cross over the scene. In the distance, mountains and wind turbines. A dark, orange and purple mass of clouds smother the sky, then fade to white on the horizon.

Wilson’s Prom (from a distance)

Deep blue ocean and sky covered by multiple layers of thin, semi transparent clouds. On the horizon is Wilson’s Prom, jutting out from the water.

Just finished Obra Dinn for the first time. I got about halfway in 2022 before accepting I was too stupid to deduce any more. Nice to know I’ve become slightly less stupid since then

Just listened to the whole thing. Pretty rare that I enjoy an album this much on first listen. Two thumbs up 👍👍

Steam page for my next game is up. Calamity Cait! A visual novel about the wonders and horrors of workplace romance. store.steampowered.com/app/4200450/...

Screenshot of Calamity Cait. Low angle shot of a catamaran boat. In the foreground a woman stands, looking longingly towards the sky. Behind her, on the roof of the boat, another woman sits, binoculars held to her face. In the background are long orange clouds, contrasting against the low detail black and white 3D models.

Screenshot showing a section of dialogue in Calamity Cait. The main character, Cait, is talking to a child about something bad that has happened to her, and also whales. The scene shows the two of them sitting on a bench beneath a small lighthouse. In the background are powerlines and distant mountains. Same artstyle as first image.

Screenshot of an environment from Calamity Cait. Camera looks across an empty wharf, overlooked by a large hotel/apartment block. Large orange clouds loom over the scene. In the distance wind turbines stand atop rolling hills. Same artstyle as previous images.

Screenshot from Calamity Cait, showing an eftpos machine at the Bayside Hotel. On the screen, it says "Would you like to add a tip?" There are four options: 50%, 20%, 10% and "No thanks, I don't support local business." Same artstyle as previous images.

The teaser tracks for the new Iceage album are so good. Maybe I’ll get excited about something before it releases, as a treat
