My First Game Jam and My First Finished Game!
Back in May, an aquaintence in Game Dev Galaxy, a queer dev Discord I'm involved with, put out a call asking for artistic help with a jam game because the original artist had to drop out. Ve had actually been talking about this jam for a couple of weeks already so I...
The Adventure Zone: Animated
The Adventure Zone: Animated is a multi-animator project (MAP) focused on bringing to life episode 4 of “The Adventure Zone” podcast’s “Balance” arc. The audio was heavily edited to cut out verbal descriptions made redundant by the presence of visuals, which brought...
10 Years of the Same Art Meme
In 2013, when I was about 16 or 17 years old and obsessed with all the little memes that popped up, especially the ones I could plug my art into, I came across one that had you put in an image that you drew for each of the twelve months, effectively creating a lens...
A Month Spent Rigging
Following up on the last monthly post, for once in my life I managed to do what I said I was going to immediately after saying it! I learned Unreal Engine's control rig! And it went horribly as detailed in this post where I explain exactly what went wrong and how I...
Misadventures With The Unreal Engine Control Rig
My character had the two problems just about any export from Blender to Unreal Engine will have: incorrect scaling, and wrongly oriented bones. It was impossible for me to follow what tutorials I could find for contro rig because of these. I didn't even discover it...
Updated the website and forgot to post last month’s blog (oops!)
On a lovely November first, I prepared myself to sit down and recollect all that I'd accomplished in the past October. But when I went to make a new blog post, my eyes drifted down and I saw the dreaded word "(draft)" and was filled with the greatest post-Halloween...
A New Computer and an Old Patreon
Since I started working more on 3D projects, I found that the periods where I felt like I had something I could call finished started to spread farther and farther apart. Some of that was due to the fact that learning 3D is pretty hard, another part is that 3D things...
Happy Pride Month!
Did a lot of stuff, actually! Did more 3D commissions, gave color to a whole bunch of OCs for the first time, finally started making a prettier game dev document like I've been saying I'd do for the past year since I worked on a couple kickstarters and realized how...
Lots of commissions!
It's been an odd couple of months since the last update where I haven't finished as many things as I would have liked to, but the reason for that is that I buckled down into learning how to rig 3D models. I learned the basics in my college 3D courses and had a decent...
Settling In
Since the last update, I've finally moved into my first apartment with my partner, Stump. City living is a different beast and it's hard to get used to! Everything is going fine though. Our apartment is still pretty empty, the only furniture we have is a couch, a...
