Cottage Critter mech is still unfinished after nearly 3 years.

My pathological perfectionism is destroying my ability to work on anything. I need to abandon this realism obsession as it's clearly not working.

No SP is not canceled, stop worrying.


I will not be changing SP's art direction, I just can't be hyper-detailing things anymore. I need to break out of this hell.

All I do is stare at a screen researching the smallest facets of things no one will notice or care about in the name of accuracy. It clearly isn't paying off with progress. I'll have a three hour work session where all I do is adjust the width of a piston and then ultimately just revert to what it originally was before I started.

I already lost a game back in 2018 to this unhealthy drive. I cannot let this happen to Mary's the way it happened to NSaF.

Hopefully posting this on here will help me. The secret is out; Now everyone knows my radio silence is due to this unhealthy obsession with insignificant detail. I can't claim to be working hard without having receipts now.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful that I have such AWESOME fans who put up with WAITING FOR YEARS!

Uhh, hello? Hello? Welcome to Mary's Arcade, where we have a character whose AI is set to - freaking 80.

(Yes this actually does something and works in context, I just thought it looked real funny considering how "AI level" usually gets used in FNaF.)

Toy Mary looking for an audience.

Man I wish there was a better way to polygonize a curve...

Generating an entire wall of any shape from a predefined mesh is so much nicer than trying to hard model all these details.

I was trying to ragebait other modelers with that last post. Yes I know better ways to polgonize a curve.

Adding positive reinforcement for using your brain.

This is still a very early concept, but it's already a lot more interesting than endless showdowns with the flashlight.

Exact numbers are covered up in case I actually use these.
