This week for #XenithAwakening I was working out how to try making some of the mechanics as well as what kind of pose to use for Ares' ceiling cling ability.
I also did some work on a Minecraft resource pack to make retro 3d Computer Craft terminals.

this week for #XenithAwakening I sketched out some terrain edges to work out a way to make the levels look nicer. I also sketched a sci-fan chest design to clear my head a bit, it'll probably be useful in a different type of game.
