This is Bouncy Boris. A hyperactive bundle of joy that believes that everybody should be nice to each other and those who aren't should suffer the consequences. He has a secret romance with Triangular Trev.
Each day I'm going to post about one of our characters. Meet Triangular Trev, the main mascot of Shape Land. He has magical powers that he uses to entertain the children during the day, but at night, he seems to be possessed by someone else, turning evil.
And then there's Dr Blocky... he's dead. He used to be a scientist mascot as well as good friends with Hexagon Harley as well as aanother character but now he is a ghost that haunts Shape Land. Rumour has it he was killed by a fellow mascot.
Hexagon Harley, is the newest member of the Shape Land crew. They're still trying to fit in amongst the others but have made some friends along the way that I haven't shown yet. Their big eyes make them prone to eye infections like conjunctivitus (TMI?).
This is Loop De Lewis. A recently divorced glutton that likes to eat balls. Watching sports makes him hungry. Him and Bouncy Boris have a complicated friendship to say the least. He just wants to see Sally and Logan again.
This is Pentagon Pete. He is the discontinued pirate king of Shape Land but still lurks around the facility. If you run out of power, he will make you pay the electricity bill.
Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.
Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).
In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.
In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
