that rocks. i will probably practice shading again sometime soon, its just not a specialty of mine. flat colors are so nice and easy

and to be clear: don't throw your game away because you aren't having fun playing it. just speaking from my personal experience of making a series of essentially movement-fpses. its a discipline of constant pleasure, for me. even when it is ugly and infuriating. i love it deeply and know it is good

brush burial was always good & i always enjoyed playing it starting with the first build i ever made, on day 3 of development. i boot up my own game & play it for hours. not a universal experience, but it is possible to just make something and love it, even as it takes on a wild and unexpected shape

another :)

thank you, i agree

well, im laying the groundwork for it (the new inventory system was designed w controller in mind) but i dont think its gonna make it into this patch. im having trouble finishing it up as-is, for many reasons, feature creep being among them

is this high rez enough

im working on it

in a creative slump so im practicing drawing again. here, enjoy.

yeah lots of people seem to think that way and it baffles me. very different from how i engage with games. but i should consider it more

yeah sifu is really cool too. ive been meaning to play ghosts of yotei its just so expensive 😭

closest thing for me is the arkham games with their portrayal of catwoman, and no game has picked up where that left off. besides mine i guess

girl thats the origin of the genre. thats tarkov

yeah i export the models separately as .fbx files, but having them in one .blend allows me to animate them in tandem. and its not as cluttered as it sounds: the only rigs in the game are one generic humanoid, fennel, and sigg

ik its also possible to link .blend files together and modify them simultaneously. thats how a friend of mine does it for their game. but i never learned how to do that

its not too bad once you get it set up. just need to have both the player and enemy rigs in the same .blend file. i avoided it for years because i thought itd be too hard, but when i actually sat down to do it, i had an animation done within hours. ofc it looked terrible but thats why we practice

thats cool that skin deep has them. i didn't realize that

yeah i did play that one for a bit. its not bad. lots of levels. sorta wore thin for me after a couple hours though

ive had this one for a while, maybe i should finally give it a whirl

brush burial is fun i can kill fools with just my ass by the dozens

everyone should also put their player characters in tight shiny little pants like ryu hayabusa

i bear the loneliest burden this squallid world could muster

and if you have examples of games that are, i need you to provide them. i need something to play

everyone should be putting takedown animations in their games. why isn't that happening. do i need to tell you how

Fennel (they/them), swamp devil, star of the Brush Burial series of first-person snatchers from Knife Demon Software. they are half naked, smoking, drinking, and brandishing a gun

no

thank you

yeah ik im referring to when i first started showing off brush burial 1, way back in 2021

in truth its a game about beauty and death. what the fuck is a genre
