After about a week and a half, my 3D collectathon prototype is ready for production. It's about being a 2D character in a 3D world. It takes inspiration from retro 3D platformers (Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie) and Paper Mario with lots of stuff to collect!

A few things: More visual feedback, randomized game over message, sound, and I did way more work on momentum. The player isn't using physics because I wanted it extremely deterministic, so I ended up hard coding a lot of the "momentum". Still neat.

I'm sick yet again so I'm doing a casual playthrough of Trail & Trade. I absolutely love this little fade animation I did, it's a shame it's so late game most won't see it. So here's a fun clip (spoilers)

I've been tinkering with a spherical Minecraft-like voxel toy. Makes me want to make a small game with this tech. More info below.

Working on a protagonist for a game concept. She doesn't have a name. I'm using split pixel art + puppet animation. Thoughts on a 3D collectathon with some Paper Mario elements?

Macroquad's 3D is actually a lot more in depth than I thought, my first impressions are pretty good.

Super cool new feature! 🧪

I had to make a tool to rapidly design levels, ended up creating a fairly intuitive level editing system, might ship it with the game as an actual feature.

A prototype of my 3D collectathon concept. Very very early development. It's about being a 2D character in a 3D world. A strange blend of A Hat in Time/Banjo Kazooie/SM64, and Paper Mario.

I've been brainstorming different collectible ideas, and my partner had the stupidest idea. Pineapples. So I modeled this pineapple in Blender (took way longer than anticipated).

Game devs should add more silly features to their games that serve no purpose. For my game on every game over there's a random condescending death message. Took a whole 5 minutes to add. Here are some possible messages:
