Hello! It's been a bit, but this project is back to the top of my priority list.

And Godot 4 released, which means that I have a great chance to clean up my project by remaking it from scratch!

More info in the article below.


Hello guys!

It's been a bit, hasn't it? I managed to close my last bachelor's exam session with (almost) perfect marks, and began writing my bachelor's diploma, which is due in June.

Also, just yesterday I left another indie gamedev project that was taking up the most of my resources, where I was an art lead. I took it up without pay, to gain experience, which I have. The project was dropped by its head because it wasn't really going anywhere anyways. So, OGLS is back to the first place in my list of priorities :smile: And my animation skills are even better than before!

In other great news: Godot 4 has released. It's absolutely wild. I started this project on Godot 2, then ported it into Godot 3, and now I'm going to do the same once again. However, this time will be different, as Godot 4 is MASSIVELY different from Godot 3.

Which means, you guessed it... this is a great opportunity to remake my project from scratch!

But I won't be throwing anything I've already made away. I have a wonderful chance to clean up all of my past mistakes, to make everything better and clearer. The introductory scenes are one hell of a messy code, and the saving system requires a redesign anyways, because it isn't working as intended.

The work continues, and I'll be posting updates as always. Thank you for your support ♥

I wrote a list of the worst problems with the build which I'm aiming to fix with this remake.

I decided to tackle the Tiling first. It feels different, but easy and precise. I love it a lot.

Further info in the article below.

I played #HollowKnight and got a lot of inspiration from it. A great example of how to work with parallaxes. Did you know that they actually used 3D space to build their scenes? I wonder if I can do the same thing in Godot Engine 4 for OGLS!

Now that I'm in Master's degree, I'm considering pitching OGLS as my exam project for the autumn semester. For more info, read the article!

In other news, NPC system finally works in 3D. At least, the planning/moving/stopping parts.

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Hello, Christine.

Both the game and the TV show of The Last of Us have been praised for their depiction of Bill. In 2013, GLAAD described the game's Bill as being "as deeply flawed but wholly unique a gay character found in any storytelling medium this year."

My quest log made me recall a very old Phantom of the Opera / Among Us AU me and my friend have devised. It had a beautiful plot about a furious monster infiltrating a spaceship to enact his revenge, only to fall in love with a human... #AmongUsFriday

This week's #FanArtFriday celebrates the release of #SecretOfTheMimic!

Accept the quest to get started.
