I needed a break from code so doing more art, made a simple 3D version of Crabby Crustacean Jr. as a merchant.

the sun was looking a bit lifeless so I added some rotation and pulsing. Also messing with colors a bit.

Went on a really big side quest today with audio, but audio is fine for now. I have decided to give my core mechanic a little experiment. So I've been setting up the systems for it. Portals felt right.

I hated the prototype slime, so I gave him some SFX and a new model + texture. I also added a particle trail when the player moves (not shown here)

Did this circle fade thingy, which also makes respawn feel a lot better (although I may replace this with a button)

The movement system in the previous project (Unity) was heavily geared for 2.5D and would require major updates to adapt to full 3D so I remade the entire Godot system in Unity from scratch. + An outline shader test

Been improving some of the movement jank. Coyote time no longer nerfs your jump (this was a bug). The system isn't perfect, but it feels a lot better. I'm in a balancing act of allowing lots of movement freedom and not making movement too easy.

I have added mortality (again). Also messing with some audio and lighting. I'm not too concerned about lighting since this scene likely won't make it to the final game.

Very weird sun design. I wanted it to not just be a yellow dot. Experimented with a couple different designs. I also wanted to keep it pixel-y. It also syncs with the main light direction.

Working on a song for the desert. Unsure if this will make it in, but I felt like making it.
