Hello! It's been a bit, but this project is back to the top of my priority list.

And Godot 4 released, which means that I have a great chance to clean up my project by remaking it from scratch!

More info in the article below.


Hello guys!

It's been a bit, hasn't it? I managed to close my last bachelor's exam session with (almost) perfect marks, and began writing my bachelor's diploma, which is due in June.

Also, just yesterday I left another indie gamedev project that was taking up the most of my resources, where I was an art lead. I took it up without pay, to gain experience, which I have. The project was dropped by its head because it wasn't really going anywhere anyways. So, OGLS is back to the first place in my list of priorities :smile: And my animation skills are even better than before!

In other great news: Godot 4 has released. It's absolutely wild. I started this project on Godot 2, then ported it into Godot 3, and now I'm going to do the same once again. However, this time will be different, as Godot 4 is MASSIVELY different from Godot 3.

Which means, you guessed it... this is a great opportunity to remake my project from scratch!

But I won't be throwing anything I've already made away. I have a wonderful chance to clean up all of my past mistakes, to make everything better and clearer. The introductory scenes are one hell of a messy code, and the saving system requires a redesign anyways, because it isn't working as intended.

The work continues, and I'll be posting updates as always. Thank you for your support ♥

This is partially why I wanted to switch to Tilemaps. They are capable of stuff like THIS. Now I'm able to recreate any sort of lighting, any time of day, within any location that I create.

My quest log made me recall a very old Phantom of the Opera / Among Us AU me and my friend have devised. It had a beautiful plot about a furious monster infiltrating a spaceship to enact his revenge, only to fall in love with a human... #AmongUsFriday

I always loved Springtrap. Easily my favourite character in all of FNAF franchise.

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

I made character shadows with shaders. However, they intersect with light occluder 2D shadows, creating unrealistic double shadows. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get rid of them. Any Godot 4 gurus out there? 🙏🥺

Guess who finally played Hollow Knight!

I just can't have enough of this baby, so I drew them a pretty poster! 🥺♥😊
