Deadline has been met.


While hosting Development Stream №75 (thank you to everyone who attended ❤️), I finished Scene 5, combined all the animated bits together and produced a completed trailer. It was a bit late in the evening when I sent it tho (like... exactly midnight...), so I'm still waiting for any sort of feedback. It's interesting how, despite the fact that I have everything completed, I still have things to stress about and can't fully relax.

Speaking of things I need to stress about. I still have exams coming! And I need to concentrate on preparation and study, so devlogs will be a bit scarce these upcoming two weeks. If I'm lucky, I'll still get time for streams; and when that happens, we're getting full speed back into development, friends. ❤️

I will NOT be posting the full animated trailer online - for now. FOR NOW. Firstly, it's not polished. I had to cut many corners in order to meet the deadline, and I'm not happy with how some of the bits turned out because of that. I want to redo them before putting this baby of mine out there. Secondly... I feel like posting it now wouldn't really be appropriate? Considering the fact that this is a trailer for a game that doesn't exist anywhere outside of my laptop yet. Basically, I want to have a playable build ready first - and release the trailer in conjunction with it.

However, what I decided I can share is a highlight from Scene 5 that I finished today. Which is attached for your viewing pleasure to this post ❤

(see those buildings in the beginning? yea, im not happy with those buildings.)

Also, I have done the math, and this entire trailer...🧐🧮 is at least 50% your support 🤗 without you and this awesome community, I would have never been able to accomplish the task of creating an entire animated trailer in a bit over 2 weeks. Thank you all guys so, so very much. ❤

This marks a new stage in the development process. I may talk about it more in the future. For now, I wish you all an incredibly pleasant Friday 🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤

I played #HollowKnight and got a lot of inspiration from it. A great example of how to work with parallaxes. Did you know that they actually used 3D space to build their scenes? I wonder if I can do the same thing in Godot Engine 4 for OGLS!

✨ Imported State Machines for animations into Godot 4 for all characters and the player!

✨ Shiny eyes are back! Shinier than ever!

Hello, Christine.

I wrote a list of the worst problems with the build which I'm aiming to fix with this remake.

I decided to tackle the Tiling first. It feels different, but easy and precise. I love it a lot.

Further info in the article below.

Guess who finally played Hollow Knight!

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

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

The first draft of a 3D scene made out of 2D objects, very rough, very saturated (i was light testing), very much representative of the parallax I wanted to achieve. What do you think?

Read the article for technical details.

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

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.

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!
