I might change the colors when making her into an ingame model, but all the main equipment pieces are there.
She is a lightweight recon specialist and needs to move a lot, so the clothing is supposed to be non-restrictive. The bottom layer is a body suit inlaid with energy wires that forms a shield around the user to protect them from damage. The outer layer is a light space suit that provides extra cushioning when coming in contact with space debris.
On her back she wears an energy tank and two gun holsters; and the gloves show the energy tank level! (but I will have to test the last one in the game and find out whether it is a viable way to show energy level)
Next up
Something of an atrium in the middle of an office area.
Moved to version 5.6 of UE, had to adapt to some changes like the enhanced input system getting rid of some things. Still, there were also some changes to global illumination, which fixed a few details for me.
Just jumping around Spaceport, collecting energy 
Made a simple comparison table of the most popular asset stores! I was mainly aiming for 2D pixel art, but it is applicable for other asset types as well. Overall, itch io is probably ahead for me, but it is worth the time to set up other storefronts too.
Will add a bit more lighting, but for now finished with this section of the Depot level.
Did some more level design this week. Found out that the tutorial tvs broke at some point, while I was improving the interactions system. But if I don't tell anyone that these screens are supposed to show text, nobody is gonna know.. Oh.
A bit more design of the second part of the Depot level, now with lighting. Needs additional jellies..
Dreaming of finishing games
Working on a small web game; couldn't figure out what was causing it to not connect to an extension. Turns out, GameMaker's latest update wipes a part of index.html - with important data from the extension. At least, it wasn't just me being stupid 
The small web game I've been making recently is now on itch! Can kill a few minutes of your time if you like swinging swords at stuff.
