I've begun greyboxing the hub. I typically don't do greyboxing but it makes sense here. I've put some thoughts on where I want the game to go below:

Update to the physics objects: I have added the most silly feature to the game so far. Kickable objects can damage enemies. It's tricky to pull off right but so fun. I also made them far more reliable (they don't get launched 1 jillion feet in the air).

I ended up spending basically all weekend on this, but working on the hub area. The layout isn't final, I still want to add secrets and things + it's unfurnished. But the general idea is there.

Currently working on the hub for my 3D platformer, missing a lot of geometry/textures however I designed this yard section of the map, it's very pretty, even has a water shader with depth.

Nevermind the desert level is not done, I thought of more ideas. Now there's kickable physics objects. They need to be oversized due to the player controller, which I feel like adds to the charm.

I added a new enemy, and in the dark they are terrifying. Now inside the pyramid you can be hunted down by these skulls. Of course I added a bit of an intro in the oasis.

Working on the central gimmick of this world, which is darkness. Which also includes this pyramid section.

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!

Quick desert theme I made last night. It's pretty generic but I enjoy it. You can actually see a hint of Acceleroll's desert theme if you listen closely.

Made this oasis, let's see if you can figure out the secret. (Sorry about poor quality, OBS is having trouble on my Mac). I might throw in some slimes here, but that will come later.
