Behold my beautiful canoe!


I really like the shadow box style, but I am having exponentially fewer problems with this style What started as a frustrated derp might actually turn into something Is there a way I can merge them?

The shadow box appeal is the very plain, very mild aesthetic, mostly black and white but with limited, washed-out colors for simple depth and visual interest. Having the characters as puppets sold it very well, I think.

This style (roughed-out Paper Mario) is bright and fun and charming and mostly nostalgic. The fact that I found a vector animator that I can actually use is definitely a plus, but does nothing to help with the building and programming.

Trying to use the more realistic puppets in the colorful environment is a massive immersion break, and I haven't found a suitable way to attach the strings to the nostalgic characters. The puppets were individual limbs and bones that were created and manipulated in Godot itself, but the nostalgia characters are AnimatedSprite3D made in another program and don't take the strings the same way. As puppets, they just don't look quite right without the strings.

Similarly, having washed out nostalgia characters in a bleak environment is equally as jarring, unless I wanted to try and make everything in Boggly Woods or Castle Bleck style, but those places only worked as well as they did because of the contrast they provided against all the other areas.

I don't know. I'm really liking what I've got going, but then, it's always easy in the beginning

This game has gone through so many iterations it's not even funny anymore

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

Ah, yes, Grandpa and Grandma's old farmhouse, with a million rooms, basement full of mason jars, and the old '57 Chevy in the garage

I mean, not my Gramma and Grampa, but someone's, right?

Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

Oh no! Jelly blobs of doom!

They're only supposed to be the size of a mini-yux

But doesn't he look so much more prepared for adventure?

And yes, she is carrying a deer foot staff, modeled after one hanging in our house
