I feel kind of bad for making a "prop of the week" section on my webpage and then proceeding to spend 2 months working on level geometry that doesn't really fit in with the theme of a "prop"

One of the most-important things I've learned doing solo gamedev is to keep a planner or something where you can write down ideas for future games.
It's partially so I can keep track of the ideas before I forget them, but mostly it's so I can exorcise them and get back to my current project.

Obviously not a dragon, but I think it passes the screen test :)

my greatest enemy continues to be me from a month ago, deciding to put off doing PBR layers on all my textures until later

I am just accumulating a big list of video games I want to make "some day"
Half-life but nothing goes wrong and you just have a job with meters and an apartment and a boss

I'll probably need to uproot most of these and replant them into their own things, but the basil seedlings are sprouting already!

Well I've fixed the worst graphical bugs, getting some performance issues now though I am pretty sure I know how to fix them. I will hopefully put the source code up soon, I don't know if it's polite to just fork it though!

Well! I actually took a big detour into 3D mode... now it has flipped tiles and hardware scaling!

Right now the texel density is too high for Poisoned Gravity, but here's my guy! Made him about a year ago for a more-realistic game where you can talk to him and feed him pizza just like IRL
In poisoned gravity there's a whole colony of these guys, stowaways on a decade-long journey #rat #lowpoly

I have a fully rigged and animated rat model (and a mouse) that I made for my other game, and i'm planning to make central to my space game, Poisoned Gravity
so maybe I should just go ahead and retexture it this weekend to match the style of the new game so I can have a little rat to post

Got the rough idea for the hallways set up in Blender. Still need to finalize the layout, build some cutouts for sparse greebling, and figure out what I want to do about corners.
Drawing some inspiration from Alien obvs, Event Horizon, TNG, and my pediatrician from when I was 8.

cool blender tips and tricks:
1 - Use shift-tilde for a first-person camera mode. Hit tab for collision and you can test out level layouts without exporting to an engine!
2 - Add 2-3mg thc to some tea so you don't feel high but do lose track of time and shrimp for 4 hours and hurt your hips.

Sometimes with blender you spend like two hours with a calculator trying to rotate part of a mesh just right to join with another mesh, then you realize you can just build new geometry for the joint and it takes like 5 seconds.
